I like this one from John Hathaway:

"Gold equities are exceptionally cheap at the moment.
According to the respected research team at Scotia
Bank, they currently trade at a discount of 18% to net
present value, an unprecedented low valuation, even
before the September 1999 rally. Because of the lengthy
gold bear market, exacerbated by hedging and short
selling, shares of gold mining companies, not surprisingly,
have ranked among the worst performers over the last
twenty years. The global market capitalization of the
industry is less than $50 billion. The market cap of one
high tech company, Qualcomm, has gained and then lost
this amount in the last six weeks. Industry earnings are all
but non-existent apart from hedge book profits. Financial
staying power for many companies would be in doubt if
the gold price remains depressed. Concerned senior
executives are considering how they can engineer a
reversal of fortune from a near evisceration of shareholder
value."
