Which gold move, the last few days ?? I have been long in PM stocks for 7.5 yrs. The gains have far far exceeded the ETF's which are recent, or the futures if used with no margin. 90% of the people who enter the futs lose. That ain't the solution. Gold would be a triple if bought at the bottom and held. Stocks have been far better, and are presently lagging, which they do before leading, again and again. Possible negatives abound if you look for them. They will keep you out or taking small profits.

<<To have enjoyed the full benefit of the Gold move one had to be long Futures or physical.>> Why is that? Gold is up 260% so far in the bull market. During the same period GG is up 6x that and many other stocks are up much more than that. CPQ is up 10X in the past few months. If you are saying that futures are more attractive because they offer the maximum leverage that is a different thing. You can margin anything if you want to as much as you want to. You can also go play in traffic but it may not be good for your health. If one is not feeling good right now than I guess one is not in the right stocks:(
