the vast majority of my gold had always been and will likely always be in physical form, thus the discipline is anchored down by weight

the paper stuff was for trading, and so, ought to be traded

i admit it ... it is so very difficult to hold on :0)

<<Don't know why you sold - gold seems to be in the 1 of 3 wave up from the March low. I just wonder why I haven't bought more :) >>

you are making me feel worse than I already do.

heck, I must feel the same as all the wanna-bulls.

<<Though the Aussie Dollar is doing pretty good too>>

I guess intuitively I wagered that AUD will outperform gold in the next little while ... it is rather further away from CAD than it once was, and so I am hopeful, and besides, 5+% interest is better than zero, while waiting.

13% gain + 5% interest for cash that was allocated to sit around is acceptable

obviously i am whistling in the dark :0|

well, perhaps selling off 5/6 was a bit hasty, as one tend to do with undeserved gains, and selling 1/6 was more correct

Physical ... rely on it ;0/
