Change : -0.200 or -0.3% The GOLD PRICE kept on dropping today, losing $46.40 to
close Comex at $1,678.30. (Remember it lost $54 last Thursday.) Once it broke
Thursday's and Friday's $1,712 low, it plunged to $1,667.71 very quickly. That
brings us to the first support at $1,675. Today's low cut through the rising
trend line, a leetle-bit, but closed above. If it breaks that line at $1,675,
next strong support comes at $1,605, with some mushy support at $1,650. Below
$1,605 lies $1,535 and $1,475. Not predicting, just cataloging. The GOLD PRICE
could stop at at any of those. You might also bear in mind that the 150 day
moving average, now at $1,646.25, has frequently and regularly backstopped gold
during this whole bull market. Certainly might catch there, too. As I said, I'm
not predicting. Right now, I'm averaging down, buying more gold whenever gold
hits a new support level. I've been doing this too long, so I know how you pick
your own pocket by holding out for "just a little lower price." Saying is,
"Bulls get rich, bears get rich, and pigs get slaughtered." I have no ambition
to become bacon. The SILVER PRICE lost 130c on Comex and ended the day at
3111.3c. High came at 3219c, low at 3065c. Recall that Thursday's low was 3088c.
That might be a double bottom developing, unless silver gainsays that suspicion
tomorrow by trading below 3065c and staying there. Below several possible
turnaround targets present themselves. One is 3000c, home of the next to the
last low. Another is 2843c, low before that. Then there is 2615c, the spike low
in September. All are possible, and my solution for myself is to buy more at
each new support level. This tactic leaves me undisturbed and calm, because I
expect SILVER and GOLD will roar back to triple or quadruple before this bull
market ends, and I won't miss the low. Today the GOLD/SILVER RATIO stands at
53.907. Swappers who earlier in the spring swapped silver for gold at realized
ratio of 41.46:1 or lower can swap gold for silver now and realize a 30% or
greater gain in silver ounces. Remember that market proverb about bulls, bears,
and pigs. We might as well have some fun today. None of us are getting out of
here alive anyway. On Friday with the Dow at 11,791 I said it had an initial
(beginning the drop, just beginning) of 11,250. Today it logged half of that
with a 248.85 drop, falling 2.11% and landing at 11,547.31. S&P500 lagged a tad,
falling only 1.86% (22.67 points) to 1,192.98. Today's dive takes the Dow below
the 50 day moving average (11,533). Stop waiting for another rise toward 12,400,
because it ain't coming. Stocks: signal proof how good the yankee government is
at managing the economy. US DOLLAR INDEX today solidified its breakout Friday
thru the descending trendline. Today it gained 19.5 basis points (0.25%) to
close 78.256. Dollar need only remain above 78.10 to remain in the rally game.
Higher dollar coming. Watch for it. Japanese yen lost a minute 0.18% today to
close at 129.96c/Y100 (Y76.95/$1). Where are those Nice Government Men when
they're needed? Uppity yen needs chastising! The Franken-currency, the euro,
dropped 0.2% to 1.3497. Grind, grind, grind, it just keeps on grinding lower and
lower toward its 1.2000 target. Argentum et aurum comparenda sunt -- -- Gold and
silver must be bought. - Franklin Sanders, The Moneychanger The-MoneyChanger.com

with the primary trend. Gold's primary trend is up, targeting at least

stocks' primary trend is down, targeting Dow under 2,900 and worth only one
ounce of gold; US$ or US$-denominated assets, primary trend down; real estate
bubble has burst, primary trend down. WARNING AND DISCLAIMER. Be advised and

for long-term investors in physical metals. Take them as entertainment, but not
as a timing service for futures. NOR do I recommend investing in gold or silver
Exchange Trade Funds (ETFs). Those are NOT physical metal and I fear one day one
or another may go up in smoke. Unless you can breathe smoke, stay away. Call me
paranoid, but the surviving rabbit is wary of traps. NOR do I recommend trading
futures options or other leveraged paper gold and silver products. These are not
for the inexperienced. NOR do I recommend buying gold and silver on margin or
with debt. What DO I recommend? Physical gold and silver coins and bars in your
own hands. One final warning: NEVER insert a 747 Jumbo Jet up your nose.
