"Everyone in the States is aware of the days when Gold was at $800" Not possible - but even allowing for hyperbole you have to remember that when gold was $800/ounce we lived in different times - and the POG was making headlines every day it seemed. What percentage of brokers today do you suppose have only known a bull market? I remember visiting Calgary in the 70s during the boom - all the young guns were walking on the sidewalk with a swagger - the only thing missing was a holster and a gun! It's the same today on Wall Street - gold doesn't even enter the mindset of most investors today.
