Every day I wake up thinking thatwe may see a new day for gold, and every day there is disappointment. The tradein gold is a lot like life -- good days, bad days, highs and lows. Like themarkets, life never announces what is going to happen next.
Gold is in a low period now;every day is a bad day. The action in gold feels like a bottomless pit with nohope that it will ever rally again. Traders continue to try and pick the bottomonly to see more selling and a new bottom.
Life and trading are statisticaland work off similar actuarial tables. The pattern in gold suggests that lowerprices are coming but with each down day there is hope of a bottom. Trying topick the bottom or top in any market is often a losing proposition. Sometimesthe best trade is the one of patience, which is the case for the metals now.
The fear of missing out has brokenmore traders and investors than anything else in markets. Remember, it's betterto wish you were in a trade than you weren't. For now, we observe and look fora valid footprint
