Ted, Yes, I did hear you, but I also did hear, in the past, when you stated that gold has gone straight down for 20 years - or was it "in a 20 year bear market. Yes, you did us right - twice now. Have you mentioned to your management that there are those at CNBC with a bias which adversely impacts the accuracy of their reporting? Doesn't every thinking person have a obligation to fight all injustice?

Ted, with all due respect, CNBC is very quick to recognize sectors that have had big moves. But forgetting Gold itself for a minute, the XAU is up 50% in 6 months and may very well be the best performing sector over that time. I have heard barely a peep about this. On the contrary, I have heard Pisani downplaying the move since it started. I know you specifically have not been "pooh-poohing" the rally but your reporting has been at best, selective. I am not a gold bug but that is too significant move over a lengthy period of time to be disregarded. Why has it been ignored?
