Gold and silver took an early-on hit in the NY trade, as the option holders from earlier this week who were in the money took another gut check. 

Is that it? 

Do we bottom now that their mischief is managed? 

Let see what happens next week. 

We are now entering a seasonally strong period for the metals. 

Stocks reached for a high note. 

The Dollar fell again. volatility also fell, despite the breaking news of the assassination of the chief scientist of Iran's nuclear program. 

Have a pleasant weekend.
