gold up .. over us880 ...

But as we have seen this year will this rise be any good for gold share investors as the Dow is down about 100 points?

The tendency has been for gold shares to be treated as general equities when the Dow falls and gold rises so gold shares get sold down with the rest of the market.

But when the Dow rises and gold falls then gold shares tend to be treated as latched on to the gold price and are sold down at a much higher percentage than the fall in gold.
