It be shares now moving Yup, my units in "Global Resources Fund" are doing nicely and I see gold stocks like NCM.AX rallied higher after they fell at the point when I said they'd fall. I do not figure my NAV gains from October of each year and see no reason to do so now:0) I can give a tally relative to the indices for 2001 if you like.... it would look even better in a relative sense. 1 Oct is roughly when I became a temporary "professional investor" :P David

Jay Do you plan to use gold to hedge against depreciation of other assets to keep the portfolio leveled or do you plan to seriously use gold to provide significant capital gains over next few years? If former, how do you plan to change from the current 5% or so of your asset allocation in gold ? if latter, when and how (and how much) would you change your asset allocation to gold? Based on the history it seems it may take a few years for gold value to boom (2004-5), what time-line and growth you have in your mind? Just curious, Thanks and regards Hemant
