Options Play: Gold Pops On Bullish Economic Data


OPTIONS PLAY: GOLD Pops On Bullish Economic Data

In A Reversal Of The Traditional View When The Economy Shines GOLD Does Too.

MY ANALYSIS

Fundamentally, based on the best ISM report since 2004 here in the U.S., great manufacturing numbers in China, the U.K., India, and many other Nations, and a solid GDP number last week I am BULLISH on this recovery. If the view that GOLD is an agressive play as oppossed to the traditional view of a safe-haven, prices should retest the previous highs of $1200/once in the coming weeks and months.

Technically, the mid to long term UPWARD trend is still intact based on the 2 MA's below. See Weekly Chart Below.

All known news and events have already been factored into the price of the underlying commodities discussed. The limited risk characteristic of options refers to long options only; and refers to the amount of the loss, which is defined as premium paid on the option(s) plus commissions
