The most-read ShareProphets articles this week were:

  1. The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Correction Continues
    Gold closed the week at $2,622 – down from last week’s$2,648 but still in nomansland in terms of general direction. Our favourite technical analyst, Jordan Roy-Byrne of TheDailyGold.com reminds us that corrections can be with price or just time and whilst Gold is off its high point of $2,790 it is a long way from bear territory. So the correction continues to grind on and on, but essentially Gold is going nowhere right now, and Gold stocks are suffering, as can be seen on the chart below of Gold vs the miners’ ETFs GDX (majors), GDXJ (juniors) and GOEX (explorers).
