Snippets from the Wall Street Journal this morning. Obviously, a lot of investors read this stuff and act accordingly.

Something positive:

"News Thursday that Vietnam had lifted a two-year old ban on gold imports was cited as just one more reason to buy gold."

And the usual shotgun-type negative:

"But analysts at Macquarie Group warn that gold's rally is too reliant on dollar weakness. The drop in the dollar "pretty much accounts for all the gains" in the gold price, making further gains in gold "contingent" on the dollar dropping further, Macquarie said in a note to clients."
