Perhaps you missed the John Murphy segment tonight at 5:40pm EDT when he showed the relationship between the weakening dollar, the rising price of gold, the XAU moving higher and ABX outperforming the XAU. td

I thought their job was "report" the news - not try to make it.

<<Of course not. But there is no public interest in a gold rally, so it's not news worthy. Besides, it faded and when it rallies again, all will be quiet.>> Is "newsworthy" only those things people are interested in? I thought CNBC was intended to report on ways to make money! Every $100 invested Jan. 1 2000 would today be worth $101 invested in the DOW, $73 in the NASDAQ, or $108 in GOLD - WHY AREN'T THEY TALKING ABOUT GOLD more than the DIJA or the NASDAQ? Why aren't more people allowed to have invested their retirement money in such a way to enjoy the move? Every time you heard one of the "experts" on CNBC tell you "Gold is a bad investment" from Nov. 1999 through May 5 - THEY WERE WRONG OR LIED! Could they have had an axe to grind? a short position?
