a smash down for gold and silver...and I guess the 'Dennis Gartman' reverse indicator model is still intact. How can that guy look anyone in the face?

I digress. The smell of 'no QE3' while attempting to set the stage for one, has now lost most of it's integrity. So, we wait and guess. If there is no QE3 we can expect an all out attempt on the metals and stocks. If this is a head fake, look out above. We all know that.

Is it at all remotely possible that the biggest fear is the very fact that gold could get out of hand on 'them'?

No matter, we are inevitably on our way.
