diogenes: you in?


Was in. Now out.

Went in on the open Friday when the GDX held its open but didn't have time to post the trade -- too busy playing the general market on that opening blast (SPY, SSO, QLD, and big basket of stocks, CME, BIDU, GOOG, MA, AZO, AAPL, FSLR).

Metals (like almost EVERYTHING) got overbought in a hurry (which was, of course, great!) so sold half a while ago at equivalent of GDX of 25.67 and the other half at 25.35 on day-trading signals.

If the GDX continues to firm might be back again on a day-trade long signal. Metals, which are basically tracking the general market and doing a great job of it, look as if they have plenty of room to move to the upside. What a great bounce this is!

Good trading to all gold longs! :)
