The Merv’s FAN Principle is working as expected as mentioned in my last post (17 Feb 2017).  Gold seems set for another thrust However, the only difficulty is in guessing which way that thrust will go.  I guess we’ll just have to go...

Three months and what do we have but a steady slightly negative drift in the price of gold. However, nothing lasts forever…so we just might see some volatile action soon. What will precipitate it? Who knows? And in what direction will...
