No, what Doc said was: could be long, could be short or could be both. Doc said at that time "long", which is still correct. Doc is also short. Trading strategy is very short time - occasionally just a day hold.
Doc sees a continuing volatile time and will take the long with just a small profit when/if it temporarily pops above 1500 (which could easily happen due to its speculative nature). If it doesn't it is more than covered by a short. Doc's 12 month bias is bearish gold.
