Hi OCU:
I missed the gold surge so have no intention of going long at these prices. I've been negative or guarded on gold for a while now since demand in China and India has moderated, and demand for gold jewelry is dismal. Speculators and central banks have fed the rally, but that could end in a micro second leaving the retail guy in the toilet.
I hesitate to short gold because it could sustain its price or even surge again. I've never made a good call on gold. However, if and when I invest it will be on the short side.
