I'll bet that in the last days of the Roman Empire, before the Western Empire fell, the headlines in the Roman newspapers read, "Odoacer & Germans Quiet -- Magistrates Say Nothing To Worry About." I read headlines today and think about that.
Metals were a bit confused today. Gold, platinum, and palladium all rose, however slightly, while silver fell 15 cents. However, it still appears silver and gold prices are moving higher. My interpretation remains the same: lows were made 1 May, metals now correcting, new upmove will begin by mid-August.
STOCKS seem to be wallowing in deep waters. How busy the Nice Government Men will be if stocks fall through 12,000, then 11,500, and on down. What will they do? What bogeyman will the blame? What dead and rotting rabbit will Ben Bernanke pull out of his hat?
The US DOLLAR INDEX has now dropped back to critical resistance at 73.50, in fact, stopped dead on it. It's make it or break it time. If it drops through 73.50, big trouble follows. Don't look for me to shill for the US dollar.
