This morning in a curious remark, The Gartman Letter, which is currently out of gold, said
"We are flat and we are nervous. We are nervous in that we fear always that gold shall simply chose to stand up and rush higher, leaving us behind. Why we are that nervous is another question for another time, but suffice it to be said that we are and we give voice to that concern here this morning."
which casts an interesting light on this morning’s sudden $24+ jump.
