Oil is little changed today in the 79s. Gold is not showing a change, but it's at record levels & wants to go higher. Recently India bought 200 tons of gold, eye popping. More central banks are keeping additional reserve money in gold (among its many uses), the gold bull market has legs to run for some time. For the venturesome, I have a button on the right to learn more about gold trading.
