Yeah, when David comes into my camp I start looking for bears, lol.

Crystal ball says US markets go modestly up Dec & Jan, small correction in Feb, another modest run into April - May, then it gets real cloudy. Logically, we are overdue for a substantial correction - even if I'm right about us being in a new secular bull market. Major corrections are more likely to occur after May, so that's when I'd be most careful.

Unfortunately my crystal ball has no gold app - if there's an app for that I haven't found it yet, lol. One thing looks likely though - a strong bounce in the PMs between Christmas and mid Jan. PMs are the focus of my Santa trading plan this year - if PMs plunge between now and Christmas I'll buy the mid-tiers like NGD & MVG on any panic moves down. If they just stay quiet or drift lower I'll buy the penny stocks like AUMN & LSG just before Christmas. Either way the stocks must be liquid and any pop up must be sold.
