<<<Gold stocks remain somewhere between a offbeat niche investment (always speculations, IMHO) and a refuge for outright lunatics, conspiracy theorists, self-promoters, and folks off their medication.

- Do you not at all take seriously the possibility of an Islamic Dinar ? A country backing their currency with gold at some point ?
- are you sure about what pension funds invest in ? i happened to do some temp work for a major pension fund up here years ago, the manager (he actually contracted out the stock selection to different firms) acknowledged to me there was "some exposure" to Bre-X...and I think Canadian funds would invest some in TSE index funds...
- Bre-x was actually included in one of the TSE indexes...imagine, including a stock that hadn't sold a nickel of merchandise...a broker once had a map of Indonesia on his wall...that was reality less than 10 years ago...
