Base metals have done great so far in 1999:

COPPER TIN LEAD ZINC ALUM NICKEL
12/31/98 1455.50 5170.00 497.00 916.00 1238.00 4100.00
current 1773.00 5400.00 500.00 1207.00 1514.50 7175.00
change 317.50 230.00 3.00 291.00 276.50 3075.00
percent 21.8% 4.4% 0.6% 31.8% 22.3% 75.0%

hence base metals stocks have done well, not gold stocks.
