    Be careful about making statements like 'it will not, it must happen, it can't happen. The market can do anything it wants to.

    For example, I've seen too many traders say the market can't rally because of some fundamental news doom and gloom etc. Many here have tried to short the market the whole time from July 15, and the market keeps pushing higher. You don't need to pick tops and bottoms to make money in the market, and in fact many go broke trying to pick tops and bottoms. Trade the charts, not the news, and there are not absolutes with the market, you have to go with the flow. That's why the Watch List does pretty well, I keep it objective and the trade ideas there are from an unbiased mindset. Traders need to lose their bias, the best traders are unbiased and trade the charts. Turn the TV off, Stop Reading Russel and the end of the world stuff.

    My point was yes gold stocks outperformed slightly for the week, but not as of Thur and Friday, that's all, don't read anymore into it than that.

    Many years ago on the CME floor a trader told me"The market is gonna do what it's gonna do,when it's gonna do it--No matter what"
