Through Thursday of this past week, gold for all the world was yet again reprising its rendition of "Nowhere Man"--(The BeaTles, '65), apparently en route to a fourth consecutive weekly net change of less than 10 points.
In wrapping up last week's missive we simply wrote: "As to what we see for Gold in the new week: not much." What did we get? Not much. Not that a net change for the week of 0% is nothing, given gold's having to endure a micro-crash...
Longtime readers of The gold Update know of which that title is analogous. 'Tis Chris Issak's in concert description about a girl standing in a Greyhound bus station: she has dirty blonde hair, is wearing a taupe miniskirt, white boots and...

Gold and silver both have reached down precisely to their respective areas of "price bunching" support: for the yellow metal that's 1300, price settling out the week yesterday (Friday) at 1300.5; for the white metal that's 17.00, the week'...
