You're stubborn rabbitoh, that is for sure.
You aren't going to make money from the Australian gold stocks sector in the near term with risk off in equities
Even when the AUD gold price goes into the $2000 + range, you'll still be seeing the XGD decline, I assure you of that.
Probably time to accept after months and months of complaining that its time to bin the stocks and buy bullion or maybe USD?
