Not quite, far better than that.  12.2% for a four month hold to be more accurate.  Nov buy - Feb close, Feb sell - Feb close.  Selling a hold is no different to shorting.  They are both shorting in effect.

I and I suspect many others are interested in trading gold, it is the only way to make a buck out of holding it.  While timing is impossible it is fairly predictable to trade within a range.

You don't own the forum (I presume!) and therefore others are free to talk about trades and overall opinion of gold as an investment.
