RE: GOLD There are still too many "herd" investors selling out in SBB, and not enough new buyers coming in (due to fear?). The "herd" investors view companies such as SBB as a commodities play, and that commodities will be heading down due to the sputtering world economy. Hence they have been and continue to be, selling at any opportunity in anticipation that all prices across the board will drop. Yet a few key commodites are doing well - such as oil and copper - and boatloads upon boatloads of new fiat currency will hit the markets over the next year. The European Union is putting together $2 trillion to buy Euro bonds no one else wants, the US will have another $1.5 trillion deficit this year paid for courtesy of the Federal Reserve using its "printing press", the UK is bankrupt and will only be able to function by printing new fiat currency, Japan is buying tons of currencies everywhere (with - you guessed it - freshly printed fiat currency) in an effort to devalue its currency, and on an on. The bad thing here is that when the herd gets wiped out, who will be left to buy SBB?
