  1. I'm normally not the kind of person to post my opinion on people's blog posts, but for your write up I just needed to do it. I have been cruising in your blog a lot nowadays and I'm super impressed, I think you might really emerge as one of the main opinions for your market.I hate to harp on this, but I continue to see some exhaustion on the charts and additional downside moves ahead of us, especially if the S&P 500 April low of 1,294 is not reached.

    With the traditionally slower summer months ahead, I expect that trading will be flat from the already lackluster interest in stocks. My investment advice would be to be extra cautious.Gold Buying

  3. It has been long said that the late Elizabeth Taylor had a love affair with jewellery that was only rivalled by her many love affairs with men. Because of this, she accumulated some of the most stunning and world renowned diamond rings, diamond necklaces, and other fine diamond and gemstone jewellery over the years. One of the most noteworthy of her many diamond rings was the Krupp Diamond ring, later renamed to the Elizabeth Taylor diamond ring in her honour.
