Jim,,, Actually the DOW and techs needed to pull back so that it could be run up on the first of the month. ----Milking the masses!---

This is only a guess, but I tend to think that the POG will change direction after NEM hits 14 and forms a very distinct 'W' pattern.
Of course there won't be any Juniors left.

Regards,
Eric

Jim,
The market cap of Coca Cola is bigger than all the gold stocks in the world, large and small combined......gold and gold stocks have long ago become an investment ghetto for people with a tendency towards harboring conspiracy theories:-))Thankfully, central bank gold sales are now being utilized for foreign aide programs....building schools and hospitals and drilling potable water wells etc. in third world countries....gold bugs may yet make the world a better place:-))
regards,
teevee

<<The idea that gold stocks are some kind of hedge against a market collapse is a fallacy. I would expect gold stocks to do better than internet stocks since they are already oversold.
I think there is a good possibility we will look back in a few days and the DOW will be a thousand off its high.>>
Yes, I agree, CNBC was saying something about margin calls yesterday as I left the house. Futures (broad market) are much higher as I write, but many report thinly traded.
I looked back, and looks like 3/4 of history when market had a problem gold stocks did also, though the metal fell only 1/2 the time.

Jim:

I don't know about the DOW going down a thousand points, but it appears that the nasdaq is heading lower. I have been watching the tape, and with ever leg down, a pause develops as if the mm are waiting for the day traders to step in. When the bids fail to materialize, the fall continues. It is kind of eerie. Makes you wonder, if a lot of the day traders haven't been wiped out.
Unfortunately, the selloff is taking gold with it.
