The American dollar has gone from it's lows in May to highs in July and made a low in September that led to the Gold price to rise. This gave us a big bump up in the Gold miners, GDX.
Early October (about October 7th) Gold had a high of $1798 US. Since then we had a drop to today's low of $1705.00.
My opinion?.......................
Yes, today is a good day to buy before Bernanke's and the Federal Reserve's commitment for QEIII.
It's a gamble. But That's my opinion. I'll buy a little to accumulate.
