Gold opened very strong this morning, and AGI hit a (12) month high of $16.01, and then gold turned on a dime and fell like a rock. so, my horse pulled up lame.

congrats to KD on that short, and clark on slow but steady PPLT. very interesting race this week. unpredictable finish.

[kadee79]

Congrats Clark!
