RE:20 year gold chart...Steady upward trend I'd be even happier if IAU's graph showed the same bullishness.
It appears to be stuck in a $1.40 to $1.55 range which is surprising as generally stocks that dip do return to their placement price, ie: $1.65.
Acquisitions continue as more beaten down stocks get some stink bids on them, that's not unexpected as juniors roll around their all time lows as PM's surge. I think it's only a matter of time until IAU gets bought out, will remain long until that happens or we actually get bullish JV news but won't hold my breath on the latter happening !
