Gold Bugs— How does your garden grow?

Despite a crisis almost every weekend this year,  gold has been in the doldrums.  It’s not bad enough that Gold has lost 30% of its vale from the halcyon days of August 2011. That was the peak of the Summer panic prior to the November 2012 Elections,  roughly 12 weeks before the November election.

Crude Oil, Despite Today’s Putin Bounce- is sitting at a 5-month low, looking down at 91.00 as support
