"All in all, today brought back that heavy hammer feel we have not experienced for awhile, but nothing beyond short term retrace was triggered.....pic"

You are right, Pic.

What most hurts is to see that they still control the market to their liking. For more than a year now I am waiting for them to lose that control and see gold and silver rise parabolically. What we get is a stair case scenario, which again is killing any fever in the market and turns investors into traders.

I want to see more of what we saw earlier in the year (or was it last year?): an upday in gold of $70. When is this evil COMEX going to blow up, so that you (Bigpic) cannot recognize any patterns?
