All Aboard the Gold Train as Recognition Move Approaches / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010

Since early 2009 we’ve written about the super-bullish long-term cup and handle pattern in Gold. It dates back to 1980 and has a logarithmic target of about $2,100. We noted that previous cup and handle patterns in Gold all reached their logarithmic target1. We expect that this move to $2,100 will be the recognition move that awakens the masses to the Gold bull market and the reality of severe inflation in the near future.

By: Ned_W_Schmidt
What a disappointment! We had high hopes for the Icelandic volcano. Not since preparations for the Millennium Bug has our mood been so upbeat. A real shot at a good calamity seemed to be possible.

Well, it is only day 13 of the volcano, and you know what they said about the little train.
