This is just like the Crude spike. It could provide much more pain than you can take. I'll bet at the final gold peak, you will be covering your short, and calling everyone to buy gold because it's going to go up forever.
Port, if you really didn't care what anyone had to say about your trades you Really would NOT have even mention it to anyone, let alone here. The FACT that you had to let everyone in ET know about it, tells us that you are insecure about your position and you want a hug, a cuddle and to feel secure about your decision
Gold is unstoppable. It surges even when the market crashes or rallies. With the fed printing money without any reservations the dollar is doomed, and gold is will continue to rally. Shorting it is suicide.
The place to fade gold is probably near 1,033. 975 support held... it's prob. got legs up to 1025+ GL fading it though!
