As the numbers above indicate, market and precious metals/energy prices continue to climb steadily. As this trend continues, I believe wise and prudent portfolio investments will reflect significant gains continuing thru 2010. Of course one must always be aware of any signals that could indicate a slowing or downturn in the market place.
