Yes I've known many Gold bulls AND bears since the 70's. And in bull markets you don't dare say Gold is going to selloff or someone will respond like a religious fanatic would if you told him his religion was b.s. Funny how Gold can become something to worship with Gold bugs. I've always traded it one way or the other and when it got bearish on the charts just left it alone. I don't care about being right but just keeping the money I already have and making more if the opportunity presents itself. The 20 year bear market in Gold and Silver was ugly and as all the Gold and Silver bugs got blown away one didn't dare mention either in mixed company after,lol. I knew one contractor that lost a bundle on Silver over the years and if anyone mentioned precious metals they were in for a blast. But now most are wild eyed Gold bulls again. Unfortunately Gold is notorious for plunging within Bull markets and trashing everyone long. Ross Clark mentions this likelyhood as well. Gold stock buyers a year ago are still under water right after loading up at this time last year into thier highs. And that was with Gold going up $450 more from there into August! But here is a link to Ross Clark's unbiased audio of that conversation on Dec 19th. He is good and does his homework. Keep in mind he is using previous bull markets as a guide and no market tracks perfectly so I do take this type of analysis with a grain of salt. But being it is Ross Clark I do respect his work regardless as he doesn't hype things and just focuses on strong possibilities. Meanwhile I'll trade with a breakout or breakdown on the charts.
