Breakout - We Are Wrong
There are times when the marketsdo the unthinkable, and this is one of those times. Gold is now breaking outagain to the upside, adding on to the rally that began Dec. 12. Our long-termviews on gold were bullish. We called the end of the bear market in metals butthought we would see a retracement and could profit from the short side. Wewere wrong!
Gold has broken out to the upsideand now brings the highs into place at $1,362. We are not buyers here but willtake our losses on the short positions we had set up trying to benefit for thepullback that never came. Our long-term ownership in the physical metals is ingreat shape, but we will close and lick our wounds here and wait to see if goldcan reach the highs.
This is what makes good traders-- recognizing they are wrong, taking the losses and moving on to the nexttrade. We are still slightly bearish in the short term but will not fight thetape now. With all of the central bank manipulation and weak dollar, we willmove our trading to the sidelines and observe.
