Dan, et al,

Yes, major producers of PMs have done well this past year and base-metal producers seem to have done well during the last few months. The GMI/POG ratio, to a greater extent, the GMI itself, reflect the move up in the majors. Let's hope they all continue to do well. Perhaps the recent strong move by silver is a start to major move by PMs this year. If you are right about 2002 being good year, the place to be will the Juniors which should move even more.

I didn't notice anything in Barron's this past week concerning PMs but I haven't been able to connect to the Internet since last Friday except for a very short time on Sunday. - COMAST is moving customers from home.com to their own network and did something that messed me up. The problem turned out to be the result of my using Netscape instead of Microsoft's Explorer. Their tech support people gave incomplete information on changes needed in the settings for Netscape. They may force me to go to another service (e.g. Verizon/DSL) if they continue to ignore alternatives to Explorer.

The GMI/POG ratio:

On 01/03, the Barron's GMI was 324.28 up significantly from the previous week's value of 317.95. With the POG up to 277.75 (01/04), the ratio was up to 1.17.

The ratio a year previously was 0.935.

Cheers,
Larry
