Howe makes a valid point. In other words questioning the ability of the counterparty to deliver real gold. Yes, the daisy chain could break.

I focused more on the fundamentals for POG, since I'm simply not interested in ABX as an investment. What they do in the marketplace is important though. And they are clearly delivering at least some (1.4 million this year) gold from their production without establishing (in effect selling) new forward contracts. The gold market seemed disappointed that they didn't do more. But, that's like asking heroin addicts to quit cold turkey. At least PDG and ABX are in recovery, and that's light years ahead of a week ago. I'm bullish on gold.
