You need help, that's my gift to you. 

I've posted: that I like gold; I've posted that I believe a gold range will increase year on year, marginally above inflation - how is any of that 'downramping' gold?  I haven't bragged about anything, I was asked about a short - I answered.

You are right 1.3% is nothing but that is all I wanted for a short trade.  Call it my gold dividend to supplement the hold I had since November.

I'll likely buy gold again when I see a green light.

Incidentally, selling is no different to buying - it is just trading in one direction or the other - both legitimate trades.  Markets are all about discovering fair value given an ever changing set of circumstances, and with a bit of luck profiting from having an insight into what drives those changes.
