Quote from sculptor66:
One only has to pull up a 30+ year chart of gold and view the action of the last 1,5 years in context.
While most commodities have reatreated sharply from their recent (2008) long-term highs, gold has not. Instead, it has formed a major consolidation above its 1980 high. This alone should tell you something.
The fact that that the IMF gold sale had zero impact on the price (because China and others are more than willing to absorb it) just completes the picture.
There is a MAJOR breakout in the making. Yes, it may fail, but if it doesn't, the upside potential is enormous.
By the way, I am not a gold bug. In fact, I think most gold bugs are paranoid conspiracy theorists.
But this time, they may be right.
