Do you recall how...

For the first time in three weeks, the week begins without a major announcement of a new QE plan from The Fed. Of course, since last Monday's announcement of formalized QE∞, there's really not much more they can say.

What a remarkable few weeks this has been. If you go back to the end...

It certainly has been a wild and unusual week for the precious metals, particularly gold. And as we wrap up the week today, the action is seemingly even more confusing. What's going on and what might we expect next week?
