OK.

Perhaps I can re-approach the bench by re-phrasing the question. In my previous q, I had intended the empahasis to be on your speculations for the performace of Au in a declining market, not necesasrily on your speculations for the XJO.

My view is that a XJO correction is an imminent (10-20% in the next few months). Your postings previously have indicated that you have an appreciation of economic factors beyond just your sphere of interest.

I guess what I was driving at was your opinion on how nascient (0-15 cps) gold stocks would perform IF the XJO tanked.

All (sensible) opinions encouraged.

No probs if you still do not wish to speculate on this thought. Thanks for your previous response.
