Kherson, I agree with you that events are coming together in our favour.

I for one am glad we are blessed with a long weekend. That the markets are closed Monday will spare us a day on the SP roller coaster. I have no doubt that our American friends will stike a debt deal and carry on. However in the lead-up there will be market jitters. And come Tuesday morning, a deal having been struck, the POG could have a bit of a pull-back. That could bring an ebb to gold equities. Still the underlying issues are the same and gold will, in an world with doubt, be a preservation of wealth asset. I just pray for a period of stability in the markets until we sell Tesoro.
