Stocks And Precious Metals Charts - Lack Of Enthusiasm - Stock Options Expiration Tomorrow

The bulls were trying to rally stocks up today, but they met a decided lack of enthusiasm by others for their efforts.

Both the Dollar and gold and silver moved higher today, reflecting perhaps a new perception of risks that is slowly penetrating the consciousness of the markets.

Bloomberg news finally discovered gold in a positive light, now that it is among the best performing, non-single stock assets of the year.

There will be a stock option expiration tomorrow.

I have out of town company arriving this weekend. I hope to spend time showing them around the area and doing things with them while they are here next week.

So postings may be late and somewhat abbreviated unless something significant happens.

Have a pleasant evening.
