Being a precious metals bull myself, I have been of course quite pleased as the bold ascent of GLD over the past few weeks. Most of my reasoning is the belief that the world is slowly going to wake up to the diseased, psychotic madness that the central bankers of the world have foisted upon us, and gold will be one of the very few sensible safe havens.
It’s somewhat interesting how volume continues to be tepid. Bears could argue this demonstrates there simply isn’t strong interest in gold. Bulls like myself (how often have you seen those three words side by side?) would suppose that it’s better for gold to move up subtly without widespread participation, with an eye toward the public jumping in later en masse.
