Hi Jim,

Yes, it's been a long time and good to meet you again. BTW, I'm only here by accident -- I meant to post at another thread so I have no idea what Advanced Micro Devices is?

Actually I'm out of gold at this time. I used to be a gold share fan but that's no longer feasible in SA because the rand is too strong and labor costs are too high -- and when the gold price rises the rand gets stronger and the miners get greedier. They call that BEE -- Black Extravagant Enrichment. So I'm just on the sidelines.

Anyway, I'm very apprehensive about this run because I think it's being driven by futures and hedge fund speculation and not by purchases of the metal.

Keep well.
