Gold is not just another metal...

GLD:DBB

Gold is not Palladium, a flipped over version of which (weekly PALL-Gold) gave us a DOWN signal months ago.

GLD:PALL

Gold is not just another commodity...

GLD:DBC

Gold is much different in its best investment environment from the things previously promoted to have been beneficial for oil...

GLD:USO

Silver is not gold either. But it's much closer, which makes it a sensitive component of the metallic credit spread (Hat tip, Hoye) to economic, financial and monetary events...

GLD:SLV

And of course Gold vs. US Stock market, making a move but still technically in a big picture downtrend...

GLD:SPY

Gold vs. Euro-hedged Europe...

GLD:HEDJ

Gold vs. Yen-hedged Japan...

GLD:DXJ

Gold is none of these things, because gold does not do anything other than sit there as a solid, pretty rock that irrational humans have alternately over obsessed upon and ignored for long stretches. That is what makes it a marker or barometer. Its very lack of utility and income distribution make it the anti-asset. In that resides its value when the levered up games start to unwind.

Other than that, I have no strong opinions on gold.
