Excuse me for butting in here, but after seeing the chart you posted, showing what you refer to as a triangle pattern (nasdaqbigpicture.jpg),I just felt like recommending that you might want do some additional study of technical chart patterns. Please don't misunderstand. I'm not criticizing your analysis, just trying to be of help. I'll attach a current daily chart for Gold which formed a nice triangle pattern late last year. Hope this helps.
