RE:Steppe Gold - Northern Miner Don't forget it's tax loss season. Pretty brutal this Dec particularly due to market sell off. I will probably add next week with any weakness in gold price, market caps get absurdly low in an environment like this and scare investors off. Traditionally Dec - Jan is my most profitable period but Fed minutes next week will provide some guidance as to which direction the broader market will take short to medium term. Fed needs to be dovish or Dow tanks, even a neutral Fed will put the future on shakey ground. USD needs to weaken or big trouble for commodities and foreign debt, at least cheap oil will keep inflation reasonable. This week is the decision point.
