Update from Dubai

Obviously, I am in Dubai.

Despite a significant widening in sovereign default swaps last week, the dollar remains in a downtrend, gold in an uptrend. Therefore, nothing has changed my year end positioning. I remain bullish on gold, silver, and select stocks.

I do not think that anything that is happening in Dubai will be the catalyst for a sudden spike higher in the dollar. If anything, it will cause a move back into the Yen (¥JPY) as the carry currency, as it is least likely we see a systemic devaluation in Japan.

Even better, it will increase demand for the ultimate flight to safety–gold. The move in gold is in it’s infancy. It must go higher. It can’t not.

And the beat goes on.
