How To Get A 2.5% Discount On Gold And Silver, 10% On Miners, And A 10% Dividend
This series of articles does not aim at predicting where precious metal prices will go, but at showing investors where they can get more value for their money.

It is likely to go to the next resistance zone between $1360 and $1380. The net short interest of commercial hedgers represents 20 million ounces, which is significantly above the average since the bear gold market started in 2012.

Gold exactly hit the $1360 mark one week after my article was published. It has since been falling back in the $1200-$1300 range, where it has spent most of the year.
