I’m still in Phoenix. I’m going to appear on Al Korelin’s radio show, which he is taping today (I’m not sure when it broadcasts). Then I have to go talk to a silver company I find very interesting. Then it’s back to my hotel room to write, write, write.

Which of these three charts do you think spells more trouble?
Already, U.S. foreclosures have topped 250,000 for the 10th straight month. This chart tells me that there is plenty more pain to come.

Gold? ZOOM! Silver? ZOOM-ZOOM! Both are heading higher today, making the timing of my new MoneyandMarkets.com column all the better…
Gold and the Fear Trade
