Gold took it on the chin again today and was down $15 showing some real weakness with the dollar up about 45 cents. We managed to take some great profit from JDST and DUST in the afternoon once we saw the direction develop, but I did make the call pre-market to trade these long once gold broke below $1,080.30.
Are we headed to under $1,000 that quickly after a brief bounce last week? I thought we would get a bigger bounce but it just didn’t pan out. I am nimble enough with my trading recommendations to profit either way, but naturally you all know where I think gold is going. Hopefully that analysis has saved you from getting long too early.
I counted and it’s been at least 24 months I have been telling people that I feel we are going lower. I remember one of the conversations well as I was beginning the writing of my next book Illusions of Wealth in preparation for the eventual climb higher in gold.
But I do want this book out before we bottom and it should be off to the editors in about 2 weeks. I simply want to have more aware of the benefits of including precious metals in their portfolio and am justifying all of the reasons to do so in this book, as well as to how to keep and profit with the rest of our wealth.
