RE:Gold lose 1 - 1.5% and related companies lose 5 - 8% / day..The "logical" in that is called LEVERAGE to the price of gold. This is why if the shares are played with finesse and skill, your return will be a multiple of the bullion return.
Skilled speculators pray for "corrections" such as the present as it provides an opportunity to snatch shares out of the hands of the less patient who seek instant gratification. Personally, I am buying with both hands.
This, mom ami, is where fortunes are made.
