Obviously I'm quite flattered to be the subject of such attention, but I'm afraid it's never "different this time".

You can quote all the numbers you like but in the real world it's like this:

For the last year:

Dow +11.4%
S&P +14%
CAC +12.4%
HSI +10.5%
FTSE +11%
DAX +18.8%
XJO +23.5%
-----------------------------------------------------

Gold -6.4%
Silver -13.3%
HUI -29.5%
GDX -29%
GDXJ -39.4%
XGD -34%
