It's a Friday. Some people wanted to flatten out their positions and take another look at it Monday, which is normal. That was in both gold and silver. They are following each other pretty closely.

Gold seems to be in a sideways to down formation, and that may have taken a little of the wind out of the sails of the recent longs in the market, because the market didn't continue on from last week's highs.

Gold seems to be marking time, waiting for some new developments to take place. It's a little undecided right now.

There are a lot more people on the ground. Boots on the ground, yes. Effectiveness of what's going on? We're not sure. New Orleans is still deeply in a state of emergency. I don't think we're anywhere near in a state of recovery.

The disbelief look was a common look that I saw. People just don't think that it can be done.

People make fast moves around me, I react. I can't help it.
