Very true GWR. Gold and silver are up sharply in Asia and this trend should continue into the night. The cartel may not want to get in the way of the golden steamroller. The hedge funds shorting the life out of the juniors may likely reverse their position on this Bear slaying. DOW futures are down about 165 pts. now and this should worsen unless the FED can some pull some hyperinflationary bullet out of their arsenal. Even if the desperate ECB decides to dump a huge amount of physical gold onto the marketplace when it opens today, it will only delay the quantum leap for a few hours to a few days. Keep in mind that Japanese banks have two weeks to report their massive losses.

March will be increasingly entertaining - VHF
