Well, Skol, from your April Fools Day call of 'buy indicies and sell gold', it is pretty much line ball. Both down about 3% I think.
It is a bit odd the risk on and risk off markets are moving in the same direction.
But we do have a long way to go... who will win... indicies or gold.
If I was a miner I would be hedging now a little. The miners can dig it out so easily for under a $1000 and selling it at $1600 is candy from the baby.
I find it incredible that miners are priced as if gold was $1000. So that is the what the long term 'market' thinks. But you will forgive me if I take a page out of your contrarian book. That is, Skol, you like the banks and govts and fund managers and smart people ALL think gold should be under a $1000. It is only the odd balls who think through the result of money printing that are in the minority.
I like being in the minority on this one. You may get burnt now that you have joined the masses and the mass thinking.
