BNK going forward..is a no brainer. Current push by Feds and US Treasury for a stronger dollar is what has caused the prices of both oil and gold to come down. Mike Swanson says this is only temporarily and the downward fall of the US dollar will continue which will lead to an upsurge of gold again in a couple of weeks time. Both gold and oil move in tandem against the downward spiral of the US dollar. The economic fundamentals favoring the upward movement in prices of gold and oil have not changed. True, hedge funds were moving out of their gold (and other resources)position because of redemptions from their investors that exacerbated the last two days' falling of commodity stocks. But the astute investor looking longer term will hold on to his positions.
