owning gold stocks is a great way for being constantly humbled...it's our sacrifice to the market gods.

and of course, at the back of our minds, a crazy, inexplicable, bordering-on-religious-faith dogged belief that ONE day, they will go up again...if only on that one day.

by now this thread together with kitco is probably collectively the controlling shareholder in DROOY and HGMCY. we should perhaps vote that they cease all mining activities until gold has risen from the current moribund 264/oz. level to a more exuberant 268.

i always make a photograph of my quote screen when the gold stocks are trading up, for posterity. needless to say, i don't use up enough silver halide to put a bid under silver prices....

we may look down on clowns that bought CMGI at 160, but to get to know true pain, you have to own DROOY...a.k.a. Durban Deepsh*t.

one wonders why CEO's still supposedly are getting 'golden parachutes' when in reality they get paper parachutes...and no wonder. ever tried to jump off a plane using a golden parachute? you'd find out that objects with different weight don't all fall at the same speed after all, and that way could contribute to science...

Keynes said 'gold is a barbarous relic', but that's not true...it makes for very spiffy looking shiny door stops...
