Lucretius - Let me just say that I don't think anyone on this thread objects to the discussion of North American vs South African vs Australian or Senior vs Junior producers. Or, for instance, the hedging activities of major mining companies, or trading ABX as a proxy for the XAU or the POG. What we have sought to avoid is becoming a forum for discussing the merits of individual stocks, most particularly, junior mining or exploration stocks. Beyond the fact that the thread was not initiated for that purpose, such discussions tend be somewhat akin to opening Pandora's proverbial box. I think I may speak for everyone when I say that new voices are always welcome here. We obviously got off on the wrong foot, but I hope you'll take the time to add to the discussion. TB

Lu, Sorry we got off to a bad start. I sometimes come across "a little short" with others. I was trying to just warn you where we are all coming from. As to the place foreveryone to vote for their dogs, I was telling everyone, as it was new to me, & heard a broker say he watched these numbers. You had (kind of) brought up the subject. Many here might like this place. You note, Even though I said no one should hype their dog here-in, the link pointed anyone who clicked it my underperformer from there they had a chance to do theirs. well, give us something that will move gold up(or down)-even if it is only your thoughts,fears ..... rh
