Hey KastelCo, Good to hear from you. Yeah, like the rest of the world I'm taking a flyer on gold stocks. I've bought and sold K and BGO a couple of times. Trying to take some cash out of the till--ca-ching, ca-ching. Hopingthat the price of G goes up and up so that some of my penny losers that are now wallpaper will come back. Used to be a penny gold stock called Roxmark. It was like going to the bank and taking money out of the machine. Luckily I sold off before it stopped production because of the gold price. If gold goes over 350 maybe it'll come back and I can make some more withdrawals. Nine dollars. Hmmmm! Maybe, maybe not. Certainly would be nice. I occasionally use a broker. Not sure why anymore. Never got a call in the last 12 months saying it was time to buy gold stocks. Did get a call a month ago saying Telus looked like a good buy. I checked my TA and the chart was dreadful. Said, I don't think so.Since then T has dropped like a rock. Better to be in gold right now. Nervous, of course, as we've seen too many false rallies over the last decade. Finger on the trigger--ca-ching, ca-ching. Could miss the big runup that way but less chance of catching the big rundown. GATA is finally having an impact, I think. Nobody was listening to them--wacko conspiracy nutbars was the response. Now, with Argentina, Japan, the US dollar starting to look shaky, the Middle East (our good friends the Saudis using our money to pay suicide bombers and flying lessons, never mind Israel and neighbors), the very serious question of why any central bank would advertise, in advance, large sales of gold when it was obvious it would drive the price down, etc. etc., but GATA is starting to be listened to. Nine dollars??? Maybe I should buy a few more shares. Good luck to both of us.
