Still, in spite of the fade, the Euro rally may be what the doctor ordered for gold to muster some type of reversal down here. Clearly, observing the GLD ETF daily and monthly charts,...

Convict Your Convictions with an Impartial Jury

One of the more challenging aspects about speculating in markets revolved around the scenario where we become exciting at the prospect of a big-time, "home run" thesis for a potential legendary trade, only to see it take too long to develop.
