what can happen to goldies like igr ...

We've already seen some spectacular rises in some hot sectors. Such as in the uranium sector PDN rose from under one cent to over $10.00.

In the iron ore sector FMG rose from around 50 cents at the beginning of 2006 to hit $131.50 in June 2008. This phemomenal price rise was hidden from obvious view because of the 10 for 1 share split! (In 2005 FMG was trading in the 20s.)

By the way, from 1977 to 1980 Central Norseman Gold rose 150 times in price. But Gold Mines of Kalgoorlies "only" rose about 100 times in price.
