A couple weeks ago, I had my TV tuned to a business show that loves to give predictions on the markets and the economy. On that day, one of the program's regular guests declared it was time to "short" gold, that it had reached its top, and that the precious metals bull market was over. I'll try to be nice in my rebuttal.
So, what was his reasoning: technical analysis of wave counts? falling demand? a telling ratio? sun spots? No, he noted that upscale department store Harrods in London began selling gold bullion and coins "over the counter," ergo, the top was in. Nice try, "Bert," but this is amateurish. You really shouldn't be playing with the big boys if that's the basis of your call. (more)
