Lou Just to give you a little support, here is what Phil Erlanger thinks about gold: "The major upside count is still very realistic, and could take the index past the 80 level. It's never etched in stone that major counts must be reached (there are no certainties in trading equities, especially gold stocks.) However we observe recent sentiment shifting towards jumping ship on gold. This is constructive and (we would argue) a necessary step in the achievement of the major upside count." He's long AEM. Bert
