To get a gold is a feather in her cap.

We certainly have not been helped by gold and oil prices.

Historically, the public has had their ear closer to gold and silver, but I do think that with the advent of index funds, the pitch is out there, and people are viewing the commodities like grains as an alternative investment.

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.

If somebody is super-wealthy and wants to be super-safe, owning some gold is fine for them, I personally don't think they'll see a significant rate of return on it.

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