Technically, gold should hit its 4 month cycle high about Sept. 31 ,give or take a few days.I wouldn't be surprized to see a retracement to the 360 level.The technical low of the four month cycle should occur in oct or nov ,before heading higher and could test the 400 level by the next peak ,jan31.As for the stocks themselves, they're inexspensive on a comparitive basis.Would expect gold and gold stocks would appreciate until at least the end of next year, considering the fed has already let us know that they'll accummulate almost a trillion in new debt by then.I have some long positions but also have positions I trade.With gold at these levels, the stocks will be the envy of the markets with some serious top line earnings growth.
