Hard to say, its purely speculative: remember OIL? Then what happen?

GLD is most popular ETF, next is DGP. Or you can trade Diamond..

If you cannot afford the per share price, venture into SILVER ETFs.

Or Mining ETF from Vector.

Friday's economic calendar:

8:30 Nonfarm payrolls
8:30 Conference: Consumer in the Financial Services Revolution
10:00 Factory Orders
10:00 Forum: Policy Lessons from the Crisis

MEGA NEWS are those at 8.30. It will for sure shake the market. Buy on DIPS again?


LONDON, Dec 4 (Reuters) - The dollar was steady on Friday in cautious trade as investors awaited the U.S. government's monthly employment report for clues to the pace of recovery in the world's largest economy. Economists polled by Reuters forecast the U.S. economy lost 130,000 jobs in November, compared with 190,000 in October, while the November unemployment rate was forecast to be unchanged at 10.2 percent.

We all got the scoop now and if not, here it is:

Market expect worse than 10.2, but we got 10.0 for unemployment rate.
Therefore, the "less bad than expected" happens.

Guess what will happen next? Yup, dollar will tank again today..VIX going down, and market will soar. biggrin.gif

I'm all out of shorts now. Riding on extra batch of TNA (1/4 position) @ 37.40.
I don't plan to hold over the weekend and may sell during the surge at open.

Let see where the mad the bulls will take us today. laugh.gif

Everything off high today. Pointing to close lower today, from "less than bad" data.

Covered LVS short. Awaiting to cover INTC.

LONG on DIPS

US dollar going back up. I guess with better than expected jobs data, it's a matter of time before the Feds will stop the loose dollar party.
