why gold shares will explode.. , page-17

hi goldmick.
i had another thought about the goldies giving bigger dividends as profits rise..
if i was a mid tier miner/producer, it might be better putting any extra cash into a fighting fund for possible take overs.
if they don't aquire more ore bearing assets and grow large enough to avoid being someone elses target.
they could well be swallowed.
So what do us hotcopperists think....
is there going to be a lotta consolidation in gold related stocks??
Is there really a need to increase dividends to attract investors, or will the POG will do that all by itself.
either way gold stocks will go up, but i prefer to be plugged into a smaller goldie with massive potential, rather than top tier producers. who although they will grow, they might underperform emerging producers.
