what i see and feel is the gold market has essentially moved up for 11-12 years. the last 18 months have consolidated those gains. the same crowd that was hollering too far too fast in 80 are hollering that now. they believe gold is finished. they are being fed a steady diet of real estate is improving, sales are up. the general economy is getting in gear and moving higher. risk on is not necessary in this environment, interest rates will be rising soon, as a reflection of the improving economic conditions. so the risk on has/is languishing. i remember in 2k hearing an interview of the guy who brought csco to ipo. he was long gone, and although he had some vision, he didnt make a killing on csco, he made a profit. bull markets reach full expression. full potential. gold has yet to give its full expression. corrections are part of the process. there are bears everywhere, sentiment has been decidedly bearish for months and months now. it seems to me everyone wags their finger and says if gold breaks this point it is going to triple digits and so on. the fact remains. that gold remains well supported and the weekly and monthly charts look like a high level consolidation. none of the issues that caused the mess are being addressed. i hope it happens, but i only see the situation getting exacerbated. i went to my acct today, he put up a gld chart and gave me lessons on what to buy and when to buy. its the status quo thought. sure i see the possibility of gold breaking the 1520s lows, but i give it a small possibility. the market is oversold, bearishness is pervasive, signs of a bottom. i remain in the camp, the lows are in. and wake me when we are climbing the ladder. this correction has served its purpose. the weak players have sworn off the pm drug. wave 4 will soon turn into wave 5 and the disbelief will carry over to 3 of 5 when it will change again.
