Although my precious metal fund has dipped lately with the drop in gold prices, I expect it will turn positive in the near future. My charts tell me equities in best performing sectors of the market place will continue to do well in the near future.
An earlier post had suggested that China would be one area of the global market place that would be a leading force during an economic recovery and Latin America wouldn’t be far behind.
