Precious Metals Update

 With all the bullish sentiment prevalent towards Gold and Silver and linear extrapolations out there. It appears to this analyst that both metals are topping out and continuing the bear market that began coincident with the peak in the rate of U.S. inflation in January 1980. Gold moving above the 2011 high was not expected, but it appears to be double topping with that high and staging a dramatic downward reversal into a continuation of the secular bear market that should, if my thesis is correct, draw prices below the 2001 lows at $256.60 and Silver Below the 2001 lows of $4.03.
