The trade in the gold market is very, very thin, with gold off the lows and the highs of the day at $502/oz and $508/oz.

With many of the factors that were considered bullish for gold still in place, the risks for gold are weighted to the upside.

To beat the former WBO champion, the former 1996 super heavyweight Olympic gold medalist, would be huge. This is the biggest fight I've had in my career. This is definitely my biggest test to date.

Until we get into the reporting season next month we're probably likely to see more of this thin trade.

The momentum higher in gold continues. The consensus in the market is that gold will trade to between $600/oz and $800/oz in 2006. The asset relocation into gold continues.

Any time you lose a Gold Glove, that's a hit. But that allowed us to make that trade. We saw Hill play enough second base, and he was good. If we had any doubts, that might have changed our mind about making a move or not.
