Actually Clint the "COMEX expiry date" has not "came and went" as you would like to have people believe. Quite the contrary. The COMEX/Gold party is just getting started.

FYI... there are many December gold COMEX/CBOT options and futures expiry dates over the next month or so. I posted them below for your benefit (At least learn the facts before you are so quick to insult others informed opinions). The only COMEX expiry date that has passed is for December gold options. Gold futures 'first notice day' for both exchanges was Friday past and 'last trading day' is not until Dec 29. Lots can and will happen between now and then IMO. Stay tuned.

re: bet that gold will be $1,000 by Christmas... I will take you up on that bet... I bet gold will re-touch $1,000 before Christmas 2008. What are we betting?... If I win I will ignore your posts forever. If you win I will still ignore your posts forever. Sounds like a win-win to me. LOL. Bet? How foolish. How old are we? 10? I could care less what gold is 'by Christmas' but IMO it will eventually be significantly higher than it is now.. likely sooner than later.
