-0.326 or -0.4% The GOLD PRICE lost $32 by time Comex closed it at $1,758.90
today, but it held on to that $1,750 after a low at $1,736.30. Good, but I
reckon it will drop again tomorrow. Course, only a fool would say anything about
gold right now, with all the world's NGM working to keep it down and a world
wide financial blow up driving it up. Never mind, after all the smoke clears,
the GOLD PRICE will still be headed higher. $1,740 has now become the
"must-hold" support. The SILVER PRICE lost only 25.3c today to close Comex at
3409.5. Low came at 3322c, high at 3430c. GOLD SILVER RATIO actually fell today
(silver was stronger than gold) to 51.588 from 52.140. The SILVER PRICE has now
worked itself into a position where it must hold about 3325, because there
stands the 20 dma (3333c) and the rising trend line. Break that and it must fall
a stout ways, maybe to 3000c. On the other hand (to sound like an economist) if
silver can hold that line, the whole picture changes, and everything begins to
look up. Today's tale is quickly told. Same indecision holds sway in gold,
stocks going nowhere (but dramatically), fiat currencies all sick, but the euro
is sickest with the yen next. I've been thinking about "innovation." I know that
if you make automobiles, you've got to change the thing every year or people
will stop buying it, no matter that it's all just a moveable sledge that takes
you from one place to another and all that changing merely makes it more
expensive and less reliable. Been thinking about "innovation" -- better word is
"novelty" -- because I realize that I spend most of my time sending the same
message, albeit in different words. There's a reason for that: It's right. When
it stops being right, I'll say something else. Till then, if y'all get bored
with my saying pretty much the same thing, well, go listen to CNN or NPR or
anybody on Wall Street who is always chasing novelty. To pick your pocket And
let me know when they finally get it right. After all, I ain't nothing but a
natural born durn'd fool from Tennessee. US dollar index closed down 32.6 basis
points (0.42%) to 77.60 but that don't mean spit in the wind. Clearly it has
broken out through 77.4 resistance and will move higher. Clearly the euro
(closed 1.3604, up 0.44%) has a future at vastly lower price, around 120, and
just as clearly the Japanese Nice Government Men are fighting like hyenas to
keep the yen from appreciating as money tsunamis out of the euro looking for a
refuge. Europe continues to dither. Rumors now about breaking the euro up into
tiers of countries. Germany is the go-wheel in everything, with most to lose if
the euro become the defuncto. After all, the EU and the euro has brought Germany
what 300 years of war could not. Beginning to look like a "managed crisis",
although I am certainly not making Germany the Bad Boy in all this. The managers
are cosmopolites, louyal to no nation and no interest but their own. Dow rose
112.92 points or 0.96% to 11,893.86 but remains beneath its 200 dma (11,975).
S&P rose 10.6 (0.86%) to 1,239.70. Stocks: better'n burning up $1,000 bills with
a match! Argentum et aurum comparenda sunt -- -- Gold and silver must be bought.
