well, go for it! what's the big problem with cutting back on beta, though? bullion is lower beta than the miners, right? owning just bullion doesn't make one a girly-man, does it? But now that gold appears to have confirmed that the bull of our lifetime is just out of the gate but that's just me--i prefer "unconfirmed" and the low prices and distress selling that go with it. "confirmed" means that everybody and their mother knows about it. "confirmed" means lots of "Stuarts" are margined to the hilt in their Ameritrade accounts. "confirmed" means all the newsletter writers that were pooh-poohing the gold bull back in the spring are now saying to buy with two hands. margin is like rope. give the "Stuarts" of the world enough rope and they'll hang themselves time and again.
