I just popped in to see if the perma bears are indeed just that. What I observe is that they are in hibernation. Skol and his followers where have they gone?
Even Timber who I would suggest is agnostic seems to be absent.
I have always suspected that Timber would struggle ever to find something to like about gold.
I've been in & out & done ok.
Done better shorting oil & stock indices.
A little wary of a pullback in gold, but if there its likely an opportunity.
