RRS does perform over time. Had Mali not caused
the recent blip it would be much higher, I think, unlike
POG which doesn't seem to need any excuses
to keep falling.

5500 may be the point at which this starts getting exciting
again. With Wall St open next week when we are
closed, it should get even more interesting, if the economic
vibes from the US and Europe don't improve. Traded with the
ticker GOLD in NY.

Gone past 5500 even as I was typing.

Good read and RRS one of four gold picks. I always
get better and more rewards from RRS than POG. Must remember that.

Up over 3% on early trading.

Finished up 4.5% on average volume at the death.

I bought these the Day before the Mali invasion/war (how unlucky is that?) and watched them go as low as £52 so much relieved to see them back into profit today.
