G'day I am still very much a learner in this game but would like to share a couple of thoughts re gold and the $US. Firstly, with all the current goings on , which I won't go into now, I wouldn't be suprised to see a sudden major sell off/collapse of the $US. Second this would most likely lead to major flight to gold. I get the feeling this good happen soon. Looking at the HUI (unhedged US gold stocks-gold bugs index), I see an ascending triangle forming, waiting for the break, whichever way I think it is going to be significant and it will be up. Geez I wish I had more money left over from my stock market apprenticeship. cheers Rod PS Hope you all had a good day and didn't eat toooo much, LOL
