There are a lot of articles out today about the Dow breaking down, and that this recent period has seen a transfer of the propped up Dow shares being transferred from smart/strong hands to weak hands. In anticipation of leaving the mom & pop investors holding the bag of excrement?

Also talk of gold closing above 907.5 two days in a row to start a break-out, today may be day one.

With this, the "messenger's" news of a little more delay in PA news is serendipidous in that such news coming out when the market notices gold on the march again would be our best scenario.

I'm considering a personal challenge, to walk away from my computer for say a week, and not be so obsessive in checking a share price and news box that must languish a bit longer. Being long in this investment, my obsession is mostly about psychological support for what is a risky investment.

Anybody interested in a pack to focus on life and other interests for a number of days?

I think what I'll do is say take one week off of gold, and then voraciously catch up reading the next week. Any takers? If cold turkey is too hard, maybe "one puff per day?"
