re: gold - just took off!! ok ok i'm awake
G'day Perrenial. I am currently looking at small cap Gold stocks such as GYM and HER with the view of taking a position on any pull back in the Gold price.
I presently have a very large position (and profit!) in Placer Dome which I have been accumulating over the past 3 years (via Ross Mining, Delta Gold and Aurion Gold). Been involved in 2 takeovers and 1 merger over this period and it would not surprise if a large player is presently "running a ruler" over PDG.
Whilst I am confident of their prospects going forward I am a little concerned about the risk of a weakening USD will have on the A$ share price.
