On the US traded gold stocks, it's difficult to distinguish between taking profits on the one hand and raising cash in the market downdraft on the other. Maybe it doesn't matter what the cause is, but if the downdraft is keeping XAU and HUI from really flying, then the market bounce could take the lid off of the gold stocks as it did in late August '98.

The Canadian junior/explorers are in a separate world. They tend not to follow every surge and drop in the POG, but react to its overall trend. The better known issues that I follow like BAY.TO, CBD.TO, FGX.V, and MFL.TO have begun moving up.

An addendum to my last post...

Since July, the POG has gained about $23, but XAU has gained only 5 points, HUI has gained 10 points (better but still lagging the POG), the DOW has dropped 2000 points, and the NASDAQ has dropped 525 points. What's keeping the gold stocks from moving up as strongly in response to the POG as they have historically?
