Im writing this at nearly 3pm, it is true stocks usually lead the metals and we may have seen the catalyst that will take the metals and stocks higher - ben's speach You cant really have confidence until silver breaks through $20.20 and holds above and gold breaks through 1410 An uptrend needs to be established in the metals to confirm the reason why the stocks are moving higher So just keep that in mind before you get too excited Ive been buying and shuffling the whole time, high stress but i was confident - I dont think any of my producers actually started making a loss compared to all in cash costs - but we'll have to confirm that as the quarterlies come out. The drop in the AUD may have been our support on the downside, but could hold us back somewhat on the up side as well. Just my 2c
