Like so many things the message is clear and simple.

But we like to complicate things, to insert our willfulness and pride.

This false complexity is the very hallmark of a fraud.

Interesting stock option expiration.

The lower yield of treasuries has caused the dollar to weaken. 

Gold and silver have run-up to key overhead resistance.

They need to go the next step higher in order to confirm a bottom and rally.

Gold and silver are now trading like currencies.

Have a pleasant weekend.
