Here is a good article from the Hindu Business line on gold…
www.thehindubusinessline.com/2010/02/22/stories/2010022250210700.htm

The Hindu business Line has proven to be a valuable source of info on gold and other commodities ……. Don’t know how much I will be posting Monday being the first day back…..I will be lurking and probably repost this with the data releases in the morning……or if I see anything crazy……………..….GLTA

Ps. Not sure where this should be posted but I am sure I will catch on…..LOL

Hey Ask,

Good to see you back - tried to e-mail you the new board's link b/c I knew you were on vacation when we made the move.

Appreciate your guidance - I was long gold from the $1,050-ish area to $1,120-ish via miners and riding CEF from $12.35 on 2/4 to $13.68 on 2/17 and FCX from $66.79 to $75.74, not bad for a 2-week run. Right now I'm on the sidelines awaiting gold's next big move - I'm guessing that if the dollar index pulls back above $80.6 the next move for gold will be down.

I'm also bearish on the general market but am not looking to short gold - though I am eyeing miners like PCX and ABX as potential shorts, they both had crazy breakouts last week - most of the miners are still below their L/T moving avg's so there's not much downside in a name like PAAS versus the bigger movers like PCX/ABX.

Thanks Mike.......glad to be back...........I don't have a yahoo addy but feel free to send me a PM anytime.........just getting my head back on straight.....nice plays....I like FCX a lot for short term trades very reliable trading range.......great job on your trades......I have not looked at comex vols yet or some other stuff I look at so not much for direction at the moment looks like 1110 is holding at the moment as ST support.......I did buy a few spy 111 calls @ 1.44 today...............I will try and post more on gold later or before mkts open tomorrow..............GL
