| Gold Will Target $1480-$1525 Before A Major Pullback Posted: 02 Dec 2010 10:08 PM PST Gold has been consolidating other than a spike to an intermediate wave 3 top of $1424, for about 7 weeks or so now.

Gold was overbought at the $1425 pivot highs a few weeks ago, and that terminated what I label a "wave 3″ pattern. This led us into a 4th wave corrective pattern which we remain in now. My worst case pivot low is expected at $1,321 … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates

| Pragmatic ECB Squares The Circle – Whatever It Takes Posted: 02 Dec 2010 09:16 PM PST The one thing worse than a fire in a building is a fire in a building when emergency exits are bolted shut: a panic in the market is exacerbated when liquidity dries up.

In plain English, this means that whatever emergency support is given to the … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates
