Let's count down the days till the elusive permit (or die of boredom), page-6

Agreed, exactly.
Experts have been constantly wrong lately in this ever changing world.
Just look at the UK . IMO no one knows how all this will play out let alone predict with any accuracy what may happen about anything let alone gold.
The good thing I take comfort in is the POG IMO should benifit in these uncertain times.
So far this has been the case.
I am so looking forward to this elusive Permit materialising soon I hope.
