    Oh, according to the COT report, a part of the money for nothing club bought back in (from 6898/34.5 Moz to 11322/56,6 Moz) and now they spread they swapped from negativity to positivity of course.
    I bought what I could during the negativity, and now its again waiting I guess. Next target $18 or lower.

    Hey learned metalheads, can you please explain this to me (honestly dont know, just thought of it).

    Apparently gold used to be as low as 2 or 300 bucks yeh? Now its 1300 or so.

    One of the blokes on page 1 of this thread referred to the production cost at the moment, and the spot price is not far from the production cost.

    When gold was a lot cheaper (whenever that was), were the extraction/refining/mining costs also cheaper in comparison to todays production costs? Hope that makes sense.

    When gold was $300 in US dollars, oil was $20 per barrel in US dollars
    now oil is $100 per barrel

    Think about where gold mines are typically located and think about how crucial energy is to the mining process
    What energy source can you use to run the vehicles, crushers and everything else in a remote location ?

    Now you tell me how much mining costs may have gone up

    Yes.


    Costs have blown out. Bullshit inflation figures haven't, but costs have. - don't try and work that one out :)

    Now oil is on the rise and gold is off the floor - where to????


    Gazza.
