Art, when you're playing cyclicals like we do, you buy them when they are impossibly expensive and sell them when they appear "cheap."

Gold at $265 was absolutely killing most, if not all the producers - gold at $1000 will make the balance sheet worth looking at - but would you want to be entering these stocks at this point of the cycle?

The only thing I've ever asked of you was to take a minuscule 10% to 20% of your portfolio to hedge some of the volatility in the markets. Gold is beautiful for this because it has an inverse relationship with the broad markets - "negative beta" -- unfortunately, I have my good days when you have your bad ones.

Regards,
Frank P.
