Gold: Is it Safe?
In the movie the Marathon Man,Dustin Hoffman gets tortured by Sir Laurence Olivier with rusty dental tools.As Olivier digs the tools into the nerves of Hoffman's teeth, he continues toask the same question -- is it safe?
Gold traders and investors havebeen feeling the same way as we have been tortured by the sell-off thatwouldn't quit. For weeks, we have been targeting $1,180 in December gold andovernight prices fell to $1,167 and are now trading at $1,187. This price wasas of 5:42 a.m. EDT.
The question -- is it safe? -- ishard to answer here. Our $1,180 target has been met. We are now watching to seeif it will hold. The level should hold. There are concerns that $1,130 could benext but if gold can build a base around the $1,180 level, the bottoms could bein. Remember, nothing is guaranteed to be safe, but $1,180 looks like a spot tobuy.
