I think your charts justifies even more that gold stocks will rise at a later stage.
Just a comment: "Also, note what happened to the BGMI after September 1980 - it crashed! So unless you sold near the peak, you probably didn't make much money if you were a long term holder of gold stocks from '74 to '81"
As what you said above "So unless you sold near the peak, you probably didn't make much money", and we all know that once the debt situation is "fixed", POG will steady again, so this time round we just need to know when to get out of gold stocks to max profits. There's still money to be made from gold and gold stocks, the steam is still running!
