Gold and silver marked time today.

Next week will be short and quiet, unless *something happens.*

The economic calendar has a few things on it. It is included below.

Russia added 600,000 ounces of bullion to its gold reserves in November.

The major preoccupation of the mainstream media this holiday season is the ability of Americans to watch an asinine movie, in incredibly poor taste, about the government sanctioned murder of the actual head of state of another sovereign nation, just for laughs.   

Well, it provides a distraction from reality.  And besides, we called no hackbacks.

Have a pleasant weekend.
