If memory serves, this week is a minor OE week. The COTS showed a large # of calls at $900. About 4x the number of puts. Therefore we can expect that gold will not finish above $900 for the nest 2 days.

Don't have the data for silver, but I doubt silver will disconnect from gold here. Based on recent patterns, I expect ECU will not find bidders to overcome the sellers for a while.

I read from a secondary source that SLW was issuing about 30 mill shares at less than yesterday's close. Could see a fall to about the $6.30 level.

It is a familiar pattern; SSRI fell yesterday even while silver was quite healthy. Then later we see silver fall below $12. If Mr Obama is to change things in our arena, he better get things under control or its back to the klintler/shrub era.

And last we read that goldscum scuks (GS) is just about completely out of all TOCOM positions. I guess it is harder to manipulate a market where you are not protected from exposure by the PTB.
