Gold and silver broke through resistance this week with a new record high close for gold and a 30-year high for silver.  Though the precious metals broke through the lines, they are advancing like infantry, not tanks - and I expected the latter.  But this slow-motion assault is no reason to turn bearish.  I expect more new highs in gold and silver this week.

Gold

1) The position bought at $1162.00 on July 29, 2010 was sold on September 28, 2010 at $1284.00, which was its stop-out point.  Profit: $122.00

2) The position bought at $1290.20 on September 22, 2010 was sold on September 28, 2010 at $1286.00, which was its stop-out point.  Loss: $4.20

3) Long two positions from $1306.60 bought on the Comex spot close on September 28, 2010. Stop-out point: sell one position at an intraday stop-out point if Comex spot gold trades at $1312.50. If stopped out, then re-buy this position if the Comex spot price the same day closes above $1316.00. Sell the other position at an intraday stop-out point if Comex spot silver trades at $1307.50.
