ReplyDeletebut gold RALLYING, and ABOUT TO BREAK OUT TO NEW HIGHS...
Which one of these PMs is telling PORKY PIES?
Here is my two cents:
ReplyDeleteWe are either going much higher - like 1130-1150 high.
OR
WE are going much lower - like minor 3 low.
Or ... its Friday, world cup is on, and the chop monster makes an appearance tomorrow

ReplyDeleteGreat show last night. I meant to post it this morning before I went out. Devo performs at the end.
Great game. Congrats again to the Lakers.
ReplyDeleteNow back to business. Those two dojis on the SPX are ominous. Either it's about to take off or crash hard. Opinions?
