The fact is alot of these TA guys have been calling interim tops for the last few years and few of them ever get their timing right, as you say the fundamentals are right for gold and it would take a major change in policy direction by the US government to change things. On occasions it becomes obvious that things have gone to far too fast such as in silver earlier in the year and oil in the last couple of months as demonstrated by obvious parabolic rises on the charts which could easily be sold. At the moment I see no obvious evidence of excessive bullishness in the gold markets if anything it is the opposite if we do get ahead of ourselves again in the next year or so hopefully I will have the foresight to take some profits.
