"Mining stocks moving Higher on average volume, a good sign that the bottom maybe in."

Not only is that a good sign, the averages finished the last 30 minutes strong as did Gold. That is a real anomoly.

Oil/Ag and oil service stocks were up big today, and I think they will lead the way up like they did before. Just look at DVN, MOS to name a few. Tomorrow is settlement day for LEH CDS which means over $300 Billion will have to be paid out. If we can get thru that unharmed and no "bankruptcy inevitable" earnings in the next day or 2, I believe we are off to the races and gold equities will follow suit. Like I heard someone say today: " I hope we don't then see Santa on milk cartons".
