RE:Shorts...For the past 5 years I have been watching these gold bugs make predictions that make them look like idiots. But now I am convinced that we are indeed in a sustained bull run. Central banks around the world are buying up gold now. Russia made a huge purchase right before the pop. China sold record amount of US treasuries to buy gold...headlines around the world are calling this an impending US dollar crisis...trade war, possibility of WW3, anyone who wants to invest in currency would have nowhere to go to but gold. This time the gold rush is real - at least that's the sentiment I am getting. Shorts have much easier target destroy than miners...even if they won't take a long position in gold I don't expect them to stick around...why would they take the bull head on? Anymore shorting/weakness now is just spoofs to cover their exit. If you have the balls to hold for 5 years and sell now for a 10% gain then you really don't understand the game.
