peter brown with mcgill university. and the center force human nature. >> still to come on the show, the shiny gold, medal. it has jumps from around $300 to over $1,000. we sit around with a couple of medal heads. >> gold is sticking around $1,000 an ounce, still. it has been an historical run, from $300 to over $1,000 in just over a decade. joining us is jim hyerczyk and ira epstein. jim, bullish, bearish with gold through the end of the year? >> bearish gold in the short-term. i think we will see some backing and filling around the $1,000 level until it can build a base, and then i'm looking for abolish move towards the end of the year. the market needs a little bit of direction from the dollar. i think to get its boost. and from a technical side it seems to be a little bit hesitant around this $1,000 level. usually it has a stronger run whether it crosses major price thresholds. so in the short-term i would like to see a base built and i would look to be a buyer on dips so i would have to call it bearish short-term.
