I'm skeptical that equities will rebound as much today. Another correction in that market and the associated negative news about the slow economy may find more buying opportunities. Just hope investors have money to prop up the market and rebound after this summer to disprove the slow down again. It seems too much of a drag on those hurting in this slow down to keep slipping like this.

I thought that there was some news earlier this week that the Fed was going to buy Treasuries by using mortgage debt that has matured. This might have something to do with the upswing that we are seeing in the metals. There might be some technical reasons for the gold upswing as well.
I too cited an interesting article this week in an earlier post about the Fed that I thought would have some effect on things.
You're not alone, there's alot of us who get "high" watching the price of gold. We may be approaching that time frame that all the experts have been talking about when gold will hit $1500 an oz! With all the talk about the unemployment rate going up and staying dismal and the housing prices continuing to go down, gold continues to go up!! Sure it's too early to tell but it will happen, it's just a matter of when!

Gold is going to shoot through the roof if the fed actually follows through and starts to purchase those treasury notes like they said they were going to. just hold on for the ride. i think buying is a bit late at this point. i think silver is going to go up with it. i would be searching for ASE now before they start going up as they are easier to buy than gold is. local dealer had them for 27 a piece which i thought was high but she has to make money to.
OMG! 27 for ASE is insane. Mama has to eat too but not steak & lobster every night!!! You can even buy ASEs online and have them shipped for way cheaper! Besides that gold is just as easy to buy than silver, supplies are not limited, there are many dealers and outlets for it. All it takes is the cash, for some that is the only difference.
