Hi Isi, I haven't been here since I sold out last month. No one believed there was any inflation about. Now we have central banks spreading billions about like confetti. I've decided that one of the other posters was right when he said that gold is a better bet against inflation. It also takes advantage of a falling US dollar and a rising Canadian dollar. I'm for the real stuff though, not stocks. Rising costs are likely to cut into mining profits.
