I'm with you.  Thanks for posting your thoughts.  I guess I qualify as a gold bug, but gold needs to consolidate here.  Matt did not tell anyone to short gold, but he has been talking about the gold pattern for a few days, and the charts are very clear.  I think it is not Matt's style to give a recommendation.  If we are not smart enough to read a chart when he puts it in front of us, we don't need to be trading.
