GOLD PRICE and SILVER PRICE both backed away from big resistance today. Gold
lost $1.20 to end at $1,731.00 on Comex while silver gave back 26.2c to settle
at 3349.7c. For three days the GOLD PRICE has moved sideways across the chart
bounded by roughly $1,715 and $1,740. Friday marked the high, so this line is
rounding over downward. Today's low came at $1,716.26. If gold violates that low
tomorrow, then it might unravel all the way to $1,680. On the other hand, once
it breaks through $1,740, next stop will be $1,805. Might as well steel
yourselves for it, a correction will come some time, and fairly soon given the
strong rise. Won't be the end of the world, or even the end of the larger rally.
SILVER PRICE three day range has carried it from 3300c all the way to 3400c. The
silver chart shows (as does the gold chart) what might with equal justification
be called a continuation pattern or a topping pattern. All we can do is watch
the boundaries of the range -- 3400c to 3300c and see what happens. Once again
today I have been examining the GOLD/SILVER RATIO chart, and again I have to
confess that I expect it to make one final push above 57.5. If I'm wrong, y'all
can string me up. If you can catch me. Scariest thing about writing a daily
commentary is that buzzard that sits on your shoulder squawking, "What happens
when you run out of things to say? Or on the day nothing happens?" One of the
advantages of being a natural born fool is that you never have enough sense to
admit that you have nothing to say worth hearing, so that solves the first. But
today was one of those days when not much happened. Oh, everybody showed up for
work and went through the motions, but nothing much changed. The US DOLLAR INDEX
rallied a mite, up 13.1 basis points (0.17%) to 79.107. This changes nothing,
however. Five day chart might have bottomed late Friday, but dollar will have to
burst through 79.50 to prove that. 50 day moving average stands above the Dollar
Index at 79.67, and other indicators point unanimously down. Not nearly enough
enthusiasm to move much higher. Greek debt talks are foundering -- come to think
of it, they've been foundering since they began -- and the euro, having hit
132.34 Friday and its 62 DMA, backed off today to 1.3130, losing 0.68%. This
doesn't near about turn the trend down. Look for higher euro still. Something's
going on with the yen, but I don't know what. It's the sorriest of the three big
fiat currencies, worst debt, etc., but it's rising. Monday of last week it
gapped down horribly in a move that screamed, Government Manipulation. Stayed
down one day, traded back up through the 50 DMA, then Friday gapped UP above the
20 DMA and through internal resistance about 130.5c. This points to another trip
back to the top of the trading range above 132c. Against both the euro and the
yen gold is breaking out toward the sky. Not quite confirmed yet in the euro,
but clearly in an uptrend. Against the other Loser Fiat Currencies, silver also
offers a bright outlook. Silver in Euros has broken out of a down trend and
traded up to its 200 DMA, standing above its 20 and 50 DMAs. The 20 has just
crossed above the 50. Once silver crosses through 26 euros, it will be bye-bye
earth. Silver in yen shows a similar set-up, but not quite as fully unfolded.
STOCKS had another sickly day. Dow only fell about 0.5% to 12,653.72, down 6.75
points, far less than the andSP500 that lost 3.32 points or 0.25%. Other indices
lost more than the Dow, too, sending the smell of ripe mackerel into the air. A
drop through 12,530 will push the Dow's head underwater. RSI and MACD are ripe
to drop. STOCKS -- they may be YOUR chance to buy a ticket on the Titanic this
year. Argentum et aurum comparenda sunt -- -- Gold and silver must be bought. -

primary is up targeting 16:1 gold/silver ratio or $195.66; stocks' primary trend
is down, targeting Dow under 2,900 and worth only one ounce of gold; US$ or
US$-denominated assets, primary trend down; real estate bubble has burst,
primary trend down. WARNING AND DISCLAIMER. Be advised and warned: Do NOT use

write them with that short term trading outlook. I write them 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.
