Late this summer could bring forth a correction, maybe 10-15%, followed by a rally into Xmas after the elections and a strong 2007.  \n\nThe US dollar will continue to weaken and precious metals prices will continue to rise in this speculative environment.  I personally don't believe there is any basis for the gold, silver prices, so at some point, can't say when, they will retreat hard.\n\nThis assumes no terrorist attacks on US soil, no military intervention in Iran, no civil war in Iraq.
