I agree. Very good analysis in a fair thorough and objective manner. I think the shorts are in control for the time but this will boomerang and has good longer term prospects. Think of all the miners in very unstable countries around the world - I'll bet on NV
Republican House Speaker John Boehner says he’s not sure Congress and President Obama can reach a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff. “I’m not confident at all,” Boehner quips. It may just be electioneering by the Republicans to keep the heat on the President going into October, but it's risky banter with a resolution already priced into the markets - like we have right now.

SA editors are completely fine with obama - he is perfect and does no wrong but the speaker merely suggests progress is difficult and the editors go on a rant about "electioneering" and a "risky gambit" SA really is no different than chris matthews and MSNBC; like obama they could care less about 9-11 or radical jidahists tearing up our flag and storming our embassy in egypt

so now SA is parroting the talking point of the obama business channel; the media has no problem or questions about obama destroying the economy or cranking up 16 trillion in debt; no questions or inquiry on why there is no budget from the dems or why the weak proposal by obama was not even supported by his own party; no discussion of all the bills passed by the republican congress that are promptly brought to a halt by the dem senate; no problem with 100 mil americans receiving welfare, etc; but if the republican suggests the obvious that so-called progress is not likely the obama drooling media goes into a frenzy of partisanship. there really is nothing more vile and disgusting than the left wing media
