<Love to see POG trace back to $285, my three favorite stocks fill some gaps, and buy more at that level.> fagetaboutit.... POG isn't going down IMO. If this news [that we've seen today] keeps coming out it'll open @ $340 one of these days. dAK

Plenty of skeptics out there, with their own reasons not to let this gold investing idea get out of hand... globalarchive.ft.com globalarchive.ft.com Just think... ordinary sheeple could do their own investing without a need for financial experts to help them or manage their accounts. Nah, this gold investing idea is going to be fought tooth and nail all the way imho. edit HO HO HO -g- snip "For a third reason why this rally is for real, Wall Street should simply look at how many ounces of gold are required to buy the Dow Jones Index. The Dow/gold ratio was at 1 in 1897, went up to 18 in 1929, crashed to 2 by 1932, went up to 28 by 1966, reverted back to 1 in 1980 and currently stands at 32, after having peaked at 45 at the top of the bull market in paper assets in 2000. A reversion to historical patterns could bring this ratio back to 1, with the Dow at 3000 and gold at Dollars 3,000 per ounce. But this would clearly not be an idea that Wall Street would like either to buy or to sell.
