R - I believe I read that quote in on of Ed Steer's commentaries this past week. Probably the same day as the post.

W - Please don't discourage posters here. MT has an opinion, and if you don't like it, letting him know is fine, but I don't think telling him he is not welcome fits the spirit of this board. We don't want this place degenerating into a bunch of name calling and becoming the utter wasteland the 'other' board has turned into.

MT - Keep it civil.

My opinion, which with $5 will get you a coffee and a donut at Starbucks, is that gold will drift into the $1400 range in early to mid Jan. before starting its rise once again with a jolt above $1600. Gold stocks will follow as they've been beaten to death with a club and a lot of fingers are smashed.
