Pre-Election Rally?

Not much to say, other than the umpteenth Cartel-engineered bloodletting must finish its course before we finally break through gold $1,800; via what will be a spectacular “quadruple-top breakout.” As Romney’s polling numbers have nearly caught up to Obama’s entirely, no doubt the current “ELECTION LOCKDOWN” will be ramped up to spiritual levels. That said, there is A LOT of pressure on Helicopter Ben to vociferously defend QE3 – and possibly even hint at further stimulus this afternoon. If so, a strong “pre-Election” rally could occur – to the Obama campaign’s benefit – boosting PMs and ALL commodities as well.

KEY ATTACK TIMES

By now, the ENTIRE WORLD realizes last week’s “7.8% unemployment rate,” as well as the “339,000 weekly jobless claims number” and the massive housing starts surge were pure, government-fabricated BS; as depicted by the HORROR that earnings season has become; the worst since late 2008. And no better demonstrated than by Google, whose EBIT missed expectations by 23% - by far, the worst earnings miss from a major corporation I’ve ever seen; and I was an award-winning sell-side analyst at Salomon Smith Barney for seven years!
