RE:Italian referendum gold price soiGood analysis Frank, however I am not totally convinced that a referendum vote in Italy will jolt the gold market, in the short term anyways.
The perverse world is buying the US dollar as their hedge against uncertainty as opposed to the past when uncertain times made Gold an attractive place to park ones currency.
There will come a time soon when sanity will prevail and money will flood back into Gold and the mining shares. We may just have to wait a wee bit longer than we are probably comfortable with for that event to occur.
