RE: RE: gold to new record high, most gold stocks No, you can thank the financial wizards that have created ETF's and trust units for the gold market, who wants to invest in gold shares when you can own a basket of worthless paper, oops I mean ETF's. They are up, and gold stocks are down, this is why I sold my position, gold goes up large when the market is tanking, and gold shares follow, gold goes down when markets are doing well, and guess what, we go down as well, its a no win situation. Gold at 1800 an oz and gold stocks are lagging big time, and don't believe the bull$hit that they will play catch up. There are ETF's for oil as well as other commodities, but this does not prevent oil company stocks from rising with the price of oil. These stocks should be leveraged to the price of gold but they are being shorted mercilessly. At some point the general public will get into gold and these stocks will explode. The real danger is political risk in the countries they operate in.
