“Woe to the land whose king is a child and whose leaders are already drunk in the morning. Happy the land whose king is a nobleman, and whose leaders work hard before they feast and drink, and then only to strengthen themselves for the tasks ahead”. (Eccl 10: 16-17)


"When misguided public opinion honors what is despicable and despises what is honorable, punishes virtue and rewards vice, encourages what is harmful and discourages what is useful, applauds falsehood and smothers truth under indifference or insult, a nation turns its back on progress and can be restored only by the terrible lessons of catastrophe." … Frederic Bastiat

XAU attempting to bottom

The XAU and the HUI are both showing some good resilience at these levels. Three times over the last 4 trading sessions the XAU has bounced from off the level near 193. It is can take out 200, it should spark some short covering which will be indicative of the shares moving a bit higher from current levels as they are grossly oversold.

  4. I've been buying quality juniors and explorers at their 200DMA during this correction. Some have just kept on declining. Thanks for the encouragement that we may be turning the corner and catching a bounce.

    Au and Ag looking good early today.

  8. the miners are more manipulated than the metal, at least you have to deliver metal, do they ever have to deliver those shorted shares, i doubt it. if they did i don't think the shares would be a bottomless pit,
