That is precisely the point, gold investors are looking for leverage and the leverage a company has to the pog is manifested in volatility. Unless you are shorting a stock, the percentage up is what counts and it is nem's ability to rise farther and faster in the short term that has made it a better investment. ABX on the other hand has lost a good deal of their leverage thru the size and scope of their hedge book. Gold investors are not looking for stability when investing in a gold equity, they want upside potential, and nem offers that at the moment. Ken
