It originally appeared here on July 28th, 2010 and, after watching it again, we've decided to leave the peanut butter at home. By the way, I went back and looked and, on July 28th last year, the gold price closed at $1,157 an ounce, the final low before beginning its big "QE2" move higher.]

After today’s exodus of another 18 tonnes of gold bars from the SPDR Gold Shares ETF (NYSE:GLD), another graphic showing the latest damage to the “tonnes in the trust” might have seemed like the right thing to hoist up late in the afternoon, but there’s a much more important threat deserving of attention – BEARS!

In addition to the above story from Colorado, not far from here the other day in Glacier Park, Jack Hannah fought off a grizzly bear as detailed in this ABC News target="_blank" report, all of which might have us visiting the local sporting goods store to buy some bear spray before our next hike.

Full Disclosure: Long GLD, no position in bears or peanut butter.
