Janet Yellen just moved closer to her place in history when the Senate Banking Committee approved her nomination to lead the Federal Reserve. The full Senate is expected to confirm. If so, she will be the first chairwoman in the central bank's 100 year history.

But when her term concludes, gender may be secondary to the narrative about her time at the helm. The larger focus could be that Yellen was at the helm of economic disaster.

What's Ahead For Gold In 2014?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Today, I'm going to analyze the gold market and in particular the spot gold market, which really drives everything in gold trading.

In 2013, gold turned out to be a real loser for the gold bulls, dropping some 20+ percent on the year and the year is not over with.

Anyone that has traded Holiday markets over the years knows that low volume trading can either bore a trader to tears, or leave markets vulnerable to volatile, directional movement.
