It's the method I have always used, and I was warning about production (supply) increases back in 1996. It was as simple as looking at supply-demand, no need for complicated theories, to see gold should not have been near $400 then. I still find it difficult to believe one would invest in a industry without a basic understanding of its dynamics - supply, demand, production, major players, market share, cash costs, etc.. If the macroeconmics of the business are not favorable, most firms will not do well.

I agree. Trouble is I can't find the pages he gave us, with the production graphs etc, from his home page. So now I'm gathering up all the references in bookmarks.
