About market TAPE, it was NOT as robust as it could have been. We did not close near high of the day either. How we close on Wednesday will be a tell tale about strength of this market. A confirmation green close on Wednesday will be very healthy.

Hi C,

Market remains choppy.

German Dax gained 4.5% while we were closed.....factoring Friday we closed UP barely 1%.....not a sign of strength.

Are you familiar with the chart with a Golden Cross?

Blomberg was touting it am a predictor of 57% chance of positive market over the nest 6 months--I think that is what was said!
Some times the news is to fast for me to catch.
thanks

Do you like gold at this point
If so is FCX or AUY at a buy point
FCX: RSI 57 rated long, S&P 4stars

AUY: is RSI 54, Second Opinion - Neutral, S&P n/a

Thoughts

thanks
