Gold $286.50 up $12.65
Silver $4.55 up 8 cents
On Friday I informed you that it was the bullion
dealers and trade that ran up the gold price after it
broke above $275. I explained that it was clear to me
that once the dealers saw the Gold Cartel losing, they
panicked -- for they know what is coming down the road.

NEW YORK, May 18 (Reuters) -- New York gold and silver
futures paraded to new highs after London closed on
Friday, chased by speculators who flipped stale bearish
positions into bets on further gains, dealers said.
The active June gold contract turned morning slippage into
a stunning 5 percent gain after midday, officially ending up
$13.80 at $287.80 an ounce, its highest since Sept. 28, 2000.

NEW YORK -- There is a creeping perception that the
gold market is in the midst of a turning tide, for
the better at last, as gold raced to a near quarter
high of $272.20 per ounce bid on Wednesday afternoon.

of the precious metal pushed it past a key technical level
and sparked an afternoon rush among traders.

Gold rallied convincingly in early New York trading,
blowing through the $270 barrier and causing concern
among traders short the market. In what I thought to be
a slightly odd assessment of this morning's market
conditions and one which perhaps reveals more than
was intended, one trader said, quot;There is no panic on
the gold market now, especially after yesterday's
