Gold Daily And Silver Weekly Charts – The Money Shot – To Say ‘No’

“Plunderers of the world, when nothing remains on the lands to which they have laid waste by wanton thievery, they search out across the seas.

Breakout In S&P And Russell 2000

Breakout In S&P And Russell 2000

Is this the breakout markets have been waiting for? Both the S&P and Russell 2000 edged past resistance and the Nasdaq has managed to climb above 5,000, although it’s a few days from challenging the high.
