surfer, trying to pick up pennies in front of the train huh? Look, if crude gets to 100 a barrel or not is irrelevant, Jim's opinion is a well educated one, but it is still an opinion. What matters is that we are walking into hurricane season, gold is still historically undervalued in comparison with crude, and the momentum play is still on the upside...no one can pick tops and bottoms, and if you think you can, you are money in our pockets. Crude may well trade down to 71-70, however, political unrest in numerous oil producing countires is not cooling down. Supply is another issue, however it has increased and has had little or no effect on the price of oil. I read a post earlier that said if you are betting against crude you are betting against gold, based on the past few years that is 100% correct. Enough rambling from me, just a few thoughts...
Cheers
