[Bill Douglas]

My opinon... I could be wrong (I'm wrong every second investment I make)... People bought gold because they feared a wold wide financial collapse. Now it looks like that collapse is not going to happen and we are poised to go in to a strong growth/recovery possition. So people no longer need the gold and are putting there money into mining shares (to provide iron ore and other metals) to support and make money on the growth. Others who really know what they are doing are putting their ex-gold money into the coroprations that are most likely to recover fastest and benefit most from the recession being over.
