I think gold and precious metals have been knocked around long enough. I'm for a rally here, and a good one.
I also am not in favor of this market tanking quite as fast as a lot of bears think it will. I believe many of them will be disappointed, initially, but a good dump will eventually ensue, in the fall. Maybe just in time to ruin Bush jr's chances of a win.
In edit: Late ' 05 will be a great time to go long. The C of will literally be a 'bear destroyer'.
