Thank you very much for your considerate analysis. I agree, long term we all have no problem.
I do a little short term trading on another stock...new to me...and am stumped today with all the conflicting input.
As of now it looks like the longs are selling out after a nice little run up today. I am looking for the shares to hint at where gold will go Monday. Gold is leveling off around $928 here and I have a hunch that the G20 this week end with Geithner speaking (arm twisting) there may be the usual Monday morning takedown with the JPM stocks getting hit short term and then repeating this week's action.
On the other hand....we have seen gold bounce off the $900 level and want to move back towards $1000. Heads it's up tails its down. Fundamentals are screaming buy, as usual.
Have a good week-end everyone.
