Big Dog, The Austrian situation may have helped POG, but these seem to have been the main drivers today, I give more weight to the PDG story. Also, it crossed my mind that those who were short gold could have been long OS stocks as a hedge, hence the selling today. Just a Wild As Guess: GS rumors sightings.com PDG real news: go2net.newsalert.com FWIW, I sold a more than half of my gold stock, which means I still have plenty because I was margined heavily with it. I'm patting myself on the back and smoking an Arturo Fuente Hemingway, since this trade included an additional* buy this AM at the low and consequent sale at the high this afternoon. I'll hold the rest and see what happens, real nice % gain in the portfolio today and my basis in that stock is now beyond doomsday scenarios. I took some of the proceeds and bought TDW and a bit more XTO today. I have always liked TDW and it always got away from me before. XTO I thought held up well today except it looked like someone had a sell at the close order, because I missed that close price by about 30 seconds. Have any current views on either of these two stocks?? Best Regards, Roebear
