Ron,

I just got an email from David Skarica. Here's the part where he shares his latest thoughts on gold:

"The gold and gold stocks are at a pretty key point right now the chart bellows shows that we are just at the 150 day moving average and short term downtrend. So either we could break the downtrend here or go back and retest and break the most recent lows. As we are seeing good strength in gold despite the dollar rally I would think it is going to be the former."

You said that, "The explorers led the miners down during the period pre-crash and got killed during during the deleveraging that followed post crash. I know of no gold Guru who predicted that behavior."

This is a great question for Bob Hoye. Could you send it to him..I've already emailed him one this week. He's at info@howestreet.com.

Incidentally, since he didn't forecast the '08 market crash, I asked Jim Puplava, who if anyone did. He said he knew of no one.

Following that Q-line answer, I got an email from the Agoracom' s Kimber Hub Leader, "Sitting Bull". He gave me references of a couple of gurus who had nailed it. Then Dave Webb let me know that his Canada investment adviser also got it right.

I was please to hear that Dave said he was still in touch with that adviser.
