I put all of this in perspective: a month ago, looking at gold holding ABOVE $1000 on a correction was pretty good, and for silver to be just a few cents below $18 was awesome. Next week we probably win back all of the losses as people regain their senses and the crooks cover the shorts. We have seen this act before. If China is talking down the market today, that probably means they are about to start quietly buying the hell out of gold again.

I got filled on some stink bids today. Life is good.

cheers!
