<Yawn>

After all of the recent volatility, don't days like today just seem like a downer? I suppose we should be grateful for the respite...but...flat, rangebound days always tend to put me to sleep.

Site Down Again and a Chart Update

Tuesday, April 10, 2012 at 7:26 pm

I would have made this new post earlier but, as you know, the site was down again. It sure seems strange that this silly, little site would crash so often but...whaddayagonnado. Anyway, here's a quick update.

Monday, April 9, 2012 at 9:08 pm

I don't know. Maybe you think I'm crazy for harping on this so much. But, I'm here to tell ya, this is a big deal. I can't remember the last time the total gold open interest on the Comex was under 400,000! And now here, in 2012 with price at $1650 and interest/attention in gold at an alltime high, total gold OI as of last Thursday evening is 399,607.

Man, I HATE Being Wrong

Wednesday, April 4, 2012 at 10:20 am

Hate it. Hate it. Hate it! As you might imagine, I take this "responsibility" pretty seriously so it bugs me to no end on the occasions when I am dead wrong. Two weeks ago, I proudly gave you another "Turd Bottom" in gold and, this time, I was wrong. The questions now are: 1) Why? and 2) What happens next?
