...gold's up $7. I got people writing me over the weekend that the settlement was way off.
When you look at the gold market, it has come roaring back from this low all the way back up to this 2000 level. So as it fell from 2024 all the way down here; you realize you're $20 away from the highest high. You wouldn't believe it but it's a combination of events that happened with inflation talk and of course, since October 7th. the war bid is in the market. Just be aware, that nothing grows to the sky, corrections do set in.
When you take a look at the chart, it's actually been quite orderly. You have one gap in the chart, and the market went the rest of the way.

Ira began in the futures markets in 1969. Over the years he worked his way up, starting from the ground up as a "floor runner" culminating with his becoming a Floor Trader. In the mid 1970s Ira decided to make a career shift within the industry to develop both retail and commercial based clientele. His customer base grew to the point whereby in 1984 he founded "Ira Epstein & Company", a trading firm specializing in retail, commercial and self-directed discount futures trading. Along the way Ira became a leader in trading technology out of necessity, due to increased small lot trade volume. He was among the first to embrace the Internet, which as you know has dramatically changed both the way information is delivered and how trading takes place today.
One of the ways Ira, along with his brokers showcase their talents is through e-mails of market information and Ira's "Futures Videos", which can be viewed on our website, through Market Center, Linn-IraChart Software and on YouTube.
