The XAU has hit the low made in 1993, coincidently BMG was slightly below 5 back then. After hitting that low in 1/93, BMG made it over 10 by Jan 94. Could we get 100% appreciation in BMG one year from now: I think it is possible. gold staying below $300 an ounce contradicts historical evidence. When gold prices recover many of the marginal gold producers will not be around. The larger companies will take advantage of the depressed valuations and buy them up or it will be too expensive for them to continue to mine. The more the big boys buy now the higher the recovery value of their stock.

hi dwight, hope your still holding your position in BMG, I plan to buy monday and it should begin to move after that. VBG. got out of BMG at a loss in october to buy paasf (silver miner), made 50+% with the move in the white metal. I am a little hesitant now with the short position that the big guys have with silver contracts and would rather take my profits and move on. maybe giving up a little upside, but i believe the prospects short term are better in gold. Although, I do not expect inflation to be back any time soon, or money to move out of the bond market into gold, I believe that gold is so oversold that it has got to bounce up from here and with it the shares of BMG. There could also be a slide in US equities in '98 as earnings projections get lower and money may gravitate to gold shares. My plan now ,barring major condition change, is to exit the position with a 20% profit. Hopefully it won't take too long to get there happy new year, Ralph
