Despite the perceived doom and gloom by some regarding the metals, Gold had a nice gain for October, in spite of the sharp initial slam.  So far with only three trading days and a few hours left today, is up modestly for November, as well.  Silver also maintained a gain for October but smaller than Gold, while in November it is up more than Gold.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   The bottom line is that even if the bankers manage to keep a lid on the metals for this last week of November.(Not guaranteed they can?) December is likely to begin with a BANG and possibly explode throughout the month.                                                                      PS: I was not watching as I was writing this and interrupted by a phone call and I see we may have started early?
