"Gold Sector Gains Value
In Volatile Market!"


Greetings!

In this issue, is the Standard & Poor's 500 near key support?

Also, Kinross Gold Corp. makes coin for the AMEX Gold Bugs Index.

But, first...





The broad market indices are on a slide.

The Standard & Poor's 500 (^GSPC) is giving back last years gains... down 5.6% in the first week of the new year!

The current down-trend in this weekly chart of the S&P 500 was confirmed in October when the Trend Oscillator met resistance at its long-term average.

The Swing Histogram remains below the -100 line... revealing the strength of the down-trend.

Also, the Speed Dots remain on line. The first dot to push above the line will forecast a price move into an area of resistance between 1,435 and 1,485.

Finally, the S&P 500 is nearing psychological support at the 1,370 mark... possibly creating a wide-ranging channel.
