Today was a re-bound day on which prices rose satisfyingly, but without settling anything.
SILVER'S low today at $13.825 made a double bottom with yesterday's $13.81 low. I like that very much indeed, although the SILVER PRICE dropped 1.5 cents today to close on Comex at $13.9560.
Bellwether GOLD didn't ring any special bells today. It was enough that the GOLD PRICE traded in a tight range from $934.20 to $940. Gold is walking the same tightrope today it has been walking: it must not break $930-$928 (could hit $918 on a one day spike), and needs to climb above $961 for a breakout.
I can promise you this at least: there is no lack of people who want to buy gold whenever it drops. Ditto for silver.
The US DOLLAR INDEX sank 36 basis points to close at 78.983 -- little more than a bounce off the 50 day moving average. $ Index must break 78.33 to turn down.
Nothing new with stocks today. Dow closed up 82.6 at 9,217.94, S&P up 9.94 at 989.67. Correction is not finished, but then, the rally probably hasn't finished yet, either. Sell stocks and put proceeds into silver and gold.
Argentum et aurum comparenda sunt -- -- Gold and silver must be bought.
