Chris Mack submits:In recent weeks gold and silver have broken through their multi-month consolidation levels, and investors are wondering where the precious metals are headed.

We are not sure why so many investors believe all in the markets and general economy is well, when gold is a 5% from its all time high whilst the S&P 500 is 40% from its high.

Another strong bullish argument I mentioned was that we were about to embark on a historically strong gold seasonality, starting in late August.
