yeah it was big. You may be right. I c/d see gold staying active thru the U.S. election cycle.

I was focusing on how to add to a short euro position and still live to fight again -- it worked out OK now. So luckily I was not caught short gold.

Euro was a great lesson in trading a market from both sides. Buying dips as a day trader, and building a short position as a swing and pos'tn trader. A bit of drama and no money made yet, but better than a sizable loss. Whoops, just looked up at the screen....starting to move into the green...

Glad to hear from you Bud. I moved from down-town out to the country myself. Haven't been on top of the Hancock for a beer in awhile.
