More of the same. Lots of indecision and it is still almost impossible to put on profitable swing trades if you trade the market from the long side.

A quick thought on the price of gold as Gold continues to creep higher and display true bull market characteristics. All time highs are bullish. Period. Until we don’t put in a series of lower lows you should forget about all the noise and stick to your physical gold position.
