Bigworld, Gold looks like it could be headed toward the 2011/12 highs this year.
Concerning short term trading, it's very easy to lose money. Personally I would forget about it. Even if your trades are based on recommendations from a trading service, there will be a delay, and a lot can happen in a few minutes. You really need to be able to sit in front of your computer all day. There are a lot of technical/TA aspects to know, and you'll need a lot of practice. 'Forget about it' is my recommendation :o)
