5:01am PST. The dollar finally woke up. :). Silver futures are down and GDX is off its highs this morning. We closed below the IAU print yesterday which suggested  bearishness in gold today.

The indices are also up slightly, the Dow still shy of the 20,000 mark.

Early this morning we felt two notable earthquake tremors here in the Stanislaus mountains near Yosemite, CA. The quakes shook our cabin enough to cause glass in our kitchen to rattle. My internet connection is spotty and I am trying to find where the epicenter took place.

Hopefully I can log into my laptop soon with better wifi to post some charts.
