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.

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.
