I am sorry I asked. I have a position in both GLD and GDX. I was hoping you were going to tell me that gold was going back up to $1800 per ounce. I have had these positions as well as some shares in SLW for a number of years. I guess it is too much to ask for my metal stocks to go up at the same time the rest of my portfolio is at an all time high. Absent any major world geopolitical event, there does not appear to be a catalyst that would move gold or silver much upwards from here. If gold breaks below $1000 I will probably add to my position.

I noticed that coal is making a move. My BTU is finally back over $20 a share. I hope it stays there and continues to go up. Even though our current administration is averse to coal, they should at least allow these companies to sell coal to the rest of the world. What are your thoughts on coal?
