Near Term Trend: NegativeMonday's Trade: $1,187.50 (+ $1.10)UPDATE: Three weeks ago, we pointed to: "$1,150.00 is the key near term support". In addition, prior to the last five days of trading we identified the fact; The December contract formed a Key Upside Reversal on Friday (see chart), and stated "This tends to be a strong buy signal". Subsequently, the December contract traded $21.00 higher from the settlement of the Key reversal. Please note, however, the highs last Friday, and today are abutting against resistance at the 21- Day M.A (blue) line. Regardless, if Equities falter, Gold will rise.

Piano Sonata No.2 'Concord, Mass., 1840–60' (Ives, Charles)
It is unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (like China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1923 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright, it is very likely to be public domain in the USA as well.

Misc. Comments
Although the Concord Sonata was first published by Ives himself in January 1921 (Knickerbocker Press), this is an exceedingly rare score. (One was being offered on Abebooks recently for over $1000 USD.) [Insertion by M.J.E.: See "Discuss this piece" for more on this.] The 1921 score is most likely public domain in the USA, though some legal experts consider it to be a form of "limited publication" - an arcane legal doctrine by which a work can be printed and distributed on a limited basis (to subscribers, for example) and remain unpublished in the legal sense of the term.

nice quality but smaller than expected.
Purchased 2 rugs to redecorate bathroom. Beautiful, high quality product. Very fast service and shipping. Would buy from this company again. Love it!
I am very pleased with this bathroom rug. It is washable and I also purchased the scallop one and they go nice together in front of both sinks.
Love this rug. I have it in the guest bath and love that it is low pile so the door can swing over it.
Love this rug looks great, but pretty thin don't know how it will hold up when washing and drying. I think expensive for how thin it is.
