Gold Can't Catch a Break

If you think it has been a tough few months for equities, it pales in comparison to the recent performance of gold.  After hitting its high for the year in February, gold has been in a relentless downtrend for the last four months.  In fact, since the February peak alone there have been eight different periods where gold attempted a rally, only to see the advance run out of gas before the commodity could even make a higher high.
