I see dividends as really key too Bball, especially in giving share prices a big boost.
I think as global uncertainty continues to reign you will see sharemarked cash inflows in to "safe" dividend paying companies. No reason why these companies shouldn't be more highly represented by current gold producers - nothing as safe as a gold producer IMHO.
Imagine if NCM had a 10% dividend yield how high the stock price would go. These sorts of yields are not completly ridiculous if you believe in the gold bull continuing and costs reducing for miners (as i do)
just my 2c
