Things have been volatile as we await the Federal Reserve meeting this afternoon Wednesday Dec. 18, 2013. It will be Ben Bernakes last decision before he leaves his post and moves on to greater financial opportunities. Gold is up $3.00 at $1,233.10USD/oz; Silver up +0.34 to USD$19.96/oz bringing the Gold Silver Ratio at 61.77 after recently surpassing 64.00. Ratio historical norms were closer to 20.00, something has to give? Oil steady as the cold weather helps keep the price above $97.00 level +0.34 @ USD$97.56/Barrel. Prices at the pump have been stable but high. In Ontario the Liberals want t impose another gas tax for transit funding. If the Liberals governed properly and had control of spending maybe we wouldn’t have to pay more for everything. Did Rob Ford make sense after all?
