Gold has been beaten down. I wish today will not be like last Thursday. Hope gold and silver will breach $1400 and $25 respectively this week  and stay there though it seems a bit difficult.

Hopin the oil price situation is bein driven by dollar abundance rather than an impending intersection of the production and consumption curves.  If the latter, we're going to be unable to deny Peak again.

Silver punched through $24 like cheese cloth. IMO $25 will not be so easy.

If $25 is knocked down this week, then $30 perhaps will be reached this year.

It hit 24.95 overnight.

I think this is going to go a LOT faster than most people seem to expect.

How bad are things really,most figures are given the most positive slant or selective data is used whatever is more beneficial to the end result of giving the most optimistic slant possible.What is lurking under the surface of all these figures,I suspect rocket fuel for Gold and Silver.Chips are $4.00 a bag,wonder what the cost will be in 6 months or a year,inflation is roaring in the background,soon they will run out of fiddles on figures.

I'm wondering why gold is lower this morning. Could it be the weaker dollar? Maybe the rise in jobless claims. Or possibly the higher than expected PPI.

What could it be, what could it be...

IMHO, it's the Overseas mkts that do it.Seems like a pattern.

Just like Clockwork on Sunday's, at 5:00 p.m.CST, the Mkts open overseas, and their will 90% of the time be a spike UP, and then it settles down.

Last night was the first night in MONTHS,I saw the metals go Green, and move up, and stay there unti I hit the rack at 1:00 a.m. CST.

Kept waiting for the usual Dip, wanted to get in, no way.
