Maybe I Should Have Been Trading

Gold has hit 550 today. Now at 550.70.

Using hindsight one can always make the correct decision. I have traded in and out of mining stocks a great number of times. However, I have also been one of those who traded almost all and then observed the price continuing up. In a sense, I felt locked out at those times. In the last few weeks, I decided not to trade in and out again for the time being. This, today, does not seem to have been the best decision.

Gold was due for a correction! It had gone up to rapidly. Now the correction is in. From a high of 572.60 at 1:15 NY Time this morning, it has dropped to as low as $550.10. It is now back up slightly to 550.30 at 2:19 p.m. NY Time. However, it continues to bounce about the 550 level and will likely penetrate that some today.
I had thought that 550 would hold, but?????????

I hope those of you who were waiting to get on board are getting ready to jump in. Remember BUYER BEWARE!

Best, Doug
