"All the Gold in California...

...is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills, in somebody elses name." Austinite Larry Gatlin.

A once infamous bank robber was asked why he robbed banks. His answer, that's where the money is. In this market, you have to go where the money is. So far that has been on the short side. Looking at a slew of charts today, I can't find anything that looks positive. The one chart that is really sticking out is Gold. About 18 months ago, we broke out of a $730-$660 trading range and made new highs at $1000. So far with every other asset making new lows, this has held. Even with the dollar index on a tear from 75 to 88, the shiny metal seems to have support. GLD, the gold future ETF, made a low recently at 66. Today it settled at 70. A good trade here would be to sell some near month put spreads to finance later dated out of the money calls. I believe we can see GLD back in triple digits in a years time.

By the way, nobody is thinking about the Titans going 19-0. No respect.
