GLD up 1.70%. GDX up 1%. SLV up 1.4%.

Ben showed us today that he is fully willing to monetize the consequences of the credit bubble bursting.

Opened long on miner (BLT) just before close, after a 6% down day... Letīs see if the risk compensates...

You bet, ks, Blackhawk Ben's liquidity pumping will certainly find its way to gold. We are also now entering the favorable seasonal buying time. :redbull:
Best to you

I dont understand these charts. when you change the time frame they look totally different. put in time frame 26 years for example. cheers.

For the seasonal cycle to really work, you need to also know the other cycles that effect the prices. The past 26 years were bearish for gold, the longer the time frame, the more likely that entire up and down effect of the bullish and bearish phases of a complete cycle can be observed. But without choosing the dominant cycle in its entire period and knowing its harmonics, trading based on only one cycle (seasonal here) that is not even certain to be dominant to begin with will not increase your odds for a high probability trade. This is why the 26 year chart looks completely different than the 35 year chart, because the seasonal cycle is probably not the only dominant cycle...
