Three ways to tell when gold's bull market is over

Today, I want to take a look at the bigger picture for gold.

As you'll probably know by now, I believe we are in a long-term bull market for gold and silver, so I hold a core position in these metals at all times. Of course I have my short-term trading money as well, to play any opportunities I see along the way. Sometimes I get these calls right and I make money, sometimes I don't.

Looking at the shorter-term picture for gold, I think sentiment is a little too euphoric, that there is too much hot money in the sector and so we are due some kind of shake-out. But I won't be selling any of my core holding. Because in the long-term I think we are going a lot higher. And, short-term, it is too easy to get the call wrong.
