    Thx for the response nitro... no, I haven't read the entire thread but have followed it ... is your calculation for FV different in any way from the norm.

    thx

    Yes, my "FV" has nothing to do with either CNBC FV or programtrading.com FV. To distinguish it from those and others, I put it in quotes.

    I just can't think of anything better to call it because imo FV perfectly describes it.

    Gold within a stone throw from $1000. Imo this is significant, but appears to be mostly ignored by analysts.

    If I had a "FV" for gold the way I have one for SPX, I am guessing it would show gold overvalued by at least $100.

    On the other hand, if I am wrong, then the [equities] market ignoring it is a mistake, imo.

    Holding short ES into tomorrow. I will take gains and reevaluate if we trade above 1015 SPX.

  7. I'm long GDX into tomorrow, but very tightly hedged. I see an air pocket underneath that could take it all the way down to 41.50 in a heartbeat. (44.65 close.) That would be roughly equivalent to $30 or $40 on gold.

    I'm sorry I don't get it. Most tightly hedged positions don't make money. Are you saying you are just going for a small move?

  10. Didn't make money. I was figuring if there was an up move today, it wouldn't be much of one, so yeah, going for at most a small addition to what had already been made.
    As it turned out, we're down slightly, so it did what it's designed to do: saved me from selling in a panic at the bottom of the morning volatility. I got a much better price than if I hadn't been hedged.
    It's about controlling emotions, at least for me.
