Sam...I think you would be wise to add a little precious metals to your portfolio......I agree on the upside look to the XAU..the Rydex PM fund follows the XAU, so I am quite familiar with it, from using it as a proxy.
Silver is poised for a breakout as well as gold..imo.
I don't hold many stocks....I do have a little silver stock, and when the South African gold stock DROOY went in the clapper, I bought some at bargain basement prices...cents on the dollars type of buy. Most of my PM holdings are in the Rydex fund, however.
husk, blossoms -- husk - I was looking at a two year weekly chart in case you are wondering where I got that pattern.
blossoms - It would appear that you have a lot to offer our board so we would appreciate you sharing more often. Just a warning about Liakiller. She is obviously a mental case which most of us have on ignore. The things you have told her are so far over her head you may as well talk to a cow about the effects of hypertension on the heart muscle.
I also was planning on playing it on Monday with Profunds PMPIX (1.5X leveraged $XAU). I will probably make it a long-term hold in my diversified portfolio (versus scalping portfolio) since it is volatile.
Curious, where did you get the volume data for the $XAU?? I does NOT appear when I pull it up on Stockcharts. I think this is a great opportunity, but it would be nice to have the volume information you are seeing.
