Alex:

Investors in gold have little interest in eps, etc. They want leverage to a rising pog. If the price of gold is range bound, gold equities are not going to attract dollars. The banter of lower costs of production, higher cash flows is tantamount to relegating gold to the status of a cyclical and unfortunately cyclicals trade at very low pe's. Someone interested in those fundamentals will look elsewhere to invest their dollars. Even at this time, with a bear market looming, investors prefer the opportunities in technology than the unexciting returns available to gold investors.
The price of gold is under 300.00 because the cb's want it there, the hedged producers want it there, and the market wants it there. Consequently, gold is and will continue to be a very poor investment as long as the producers masquerade themselves as fundamentalists and continue to be part of a group whose actions insure that the oversupply of gold will be with us for awhile.
