Holiday Break - BOD

Hello. The holidays have me pre occupied so posting will be fairly limited. Let's just say the problems that are in the great "out there" aren't going away any time soon. As predicted here, the stock market has had the odd, upward tilt to it and Monday is a DOUBLE POMO day. Metals have had a stupendous year, but so much for gold to $1500 by New Year's? Things take time. But where the metals are concerned, BOD (buy on the dip) remains a sound strategy. I'd be inclined to think that commodities in general, especially commodities involving the kitchen table, are going to be gainers in 2011.
