Actually not short. Have held gold and gold stocks since November 2000. Probably a little early. I was expecting a sharp correction based on the harami's I saw, but like you I think this move is for real and intend to use dips to add. Live long and prosper, Little joe

If the violence in the M.E. has that impact on gold...? Colombian Guerrillas Threaten Attacks on U.S. Targets By Jamie Dettmer jdettmer@InsightMag.com After having received what are being termed “credible threats,” the State Department closed the U.S. embassies in Ecuador, Uruguay and Paraguay for three days in April. While State Department officials have declined to provide any details about the threats, European and Latin American newspapers immediately linked the embassy closures with the arrest in Milan, Italy, of five alleged members of Osama bin Laden’s terrorist network. However, some intelligence experts now maintain that the embassy closures were connected with fears of attack from leftist Colombian guerrillas. Since the United States last summer launched Plan Colombia — a $1.3 billion military-assistance program aimed at suppressing narco-linked guerrillas — the leaders of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) have warned that they consider U.S. personnel and civilian contractors legitimate targets. FARC so far has not announced that U.S. facilities outside the Andean state are to be targeted, but the Marxist organization that boasts more than 15,000 guerrillas has been highly active in neighboring Ecuador and has networks in the Latin American states of Uruguay and Paraguay. Further, FARC recently has strengthened its connections with Middle East groups and Islamic militants, including a shadowy Hezbollah network located in Brazil. According to an MSNBC report, the FARC recently executed an arms-for-drugs deal brokered by government officials in Jordan and Peru, as well as by the Paraguay-based Brazilian narcotics trafficker Luiz Fernando Da Costa and Lebanese businessman Fuad Jamil. Some of the arms may have gone to Hezbollah militants in Brazil and Paraguay. The Islamic tie-up, along with evidence of increased FARC links with organized-crime groups in Russia, is a cause of anxiety for the U.S. intelligence community, which fears that Plan Colombia may lead to deepening U.S. involvement in the civil war in the Andean nation. insightmag.com
