Must be because the USD is strong, inflation non-existent--as evidenced by the near-zero discount rates, FED-manipulated UST interest rates at Treasury auctions, and economic growth climbing across the country, since "private enterprise is doing fine!" There's an old saying, "In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."

This gets old quick. One person says or doesn’t say something and gold is either up or down. Seriously if Obama gets reelected I will keep my gold and silver. The day Romney is elected I am selling everything and sitting on the sidelines to see what happens. Romney wins knee jerk reaction will be that the world’s economy will improve and it will short term... then reality will set in. Investing is not based on facts it’s all emotions.

What was that that Marc Faber said the other day? "Buy commodities now or you'll hate yourself". Hope he has storage capacity left to average down.

I waited to sell off my euro shorts and did so at 1.24, (really,check my posts here on SA) and am chomping at the bit to go with DRR again. Now I am suffering the with the things I hate the most, STOCKS. My REITs are all up today except CIM, and that is my own fault, HOWEVER, I did wait for my stop to get hit, and it did while I was out on the boat, So as I returned, CIM was 4 cents below my stop, and I was getting ticket ready to exit and it popped up to above my mental stop so I am still in by one penny... hope it holds.

I have been holding off buying PM's as I "knew" they were still a bit weak, but even though we are lower, we must be near a rise in PM's at any moment. But, no gotta bees. ZSL still going strong. As long as that dollar holds above 79.90, hold off buying PM's Below that, start adding. I have already one third of my NW in PM's and I am not happy with that. I WANT MORE!

Falling commodity prices, job and GDP growth and Bernanke saying QE3 hasn't been ruled out, all make me think we're going to see it. Next meeting in eo July. I'm buying low cost gold producers like Allied Nevada and Goldcorp. Also been buying Westhaven Ventures http://bit.ly/LBSYcN as it's a spec play with great management and interesting projects. Good luck!
