The author is a poster called Quad G who can be found posting on the Kitco Gold Forum. (By the way, Quad G is an abbreviation for gold, grub, guns and gold. Yes, he's a Yank.) He and silverrex are two posters I've followed there for about 2 years and for accuracy I rate them both better than 7 out of 10. They are both Elliott Wave boffins and that is the language of QG's chart below.
If EW is not your bent, his narrative is pretty useful. There you have it, a 1-year outlook even if he charted this a month ago.
