Zeev, I was talking to a Hedge Fund manager, about 2 pm Friday and he said, "Watch them take it (the market) up a bit this afternoon, just the right stocks, not everything, look for an up day Monday, with perhaps a gap opening, it will "fiddle around" Tuesday and Wednesday, then on Thursday and Friday, you'll see "window dressing" as the mutual funds close their books on the year, then the first few days of November, watch them "undress" them".
I'm in XAU December Puts (unfortunately at higher prices), so I agree with you that Gold will probably dip (at least I hope so).
