MB and thread: the Philly exchange has quietly made PD a member of the XAU...a copper stock in a supposed gold & silver index. with its almost 14% weighting it has more or less made the XAU useless as a gauge for the precious metals markets (today the XAU's gain was halved because of PD). please join me in complaining to the Philly exchange about this...their e-mail is info@phlx.com regards, hb PS: while you're at it, ask them to re-instate GOLD, one of the largest gold miners in the world, that was inexplicably removed from the index after a one-week stint.
