Yesterday, gold rose initially prior to selling in the futures market saw gold fall $6.30 to $1153.10 in New York and ended down just 0.5%.  Silver slipped 50 cents to $14.78 per ounce.  Gold in euros and sterling fell by slightly more but still outperformed falling stock markets.

Gold performed well considering the stock market bloodbath yesterday. The fact that it is was only marginally lower despite market carnage bodes very well indeed for the coming months.

We appear to be on the verge of new bear market in stocks and as we have been warning for some months now there is a real risk of a 1929 or 1987 style crash.

It is time to take stock and reduce allocations to equities and increasing allocations to cash and gold bullion.
