      Credit Suisse Analyst Downgrades Agnico-Eagle Mines on Valuation
      I think AEM may split. That would take away some beta, but ultimately it would solidify the upward direction. I have been writing puts for a few years, but I would consider writing calls only during a correction in gold. I can also remember AEM when it was $12.00 and I thought it was a terrible stock. Too bad I wasn't smart enough to buy it then and just wait. However, I currently view another issue as having the same upward potential. That is IAG. I have , at different prices, collected 1000 shares and plan to keep them until I feel that I was wrong. Recently, Iamgold went down because of one disappointment, and while reading the article, I learned that they have a large number of mining properties in many countries. Also they pay an annual dividend of $6.00 and have been doing that for 7 years. I write covered calls in case I am wrong. The stock is about $7.50. By the way. when AEM was $12.00, I couldn't create a profit, no matter what I did. So I decided it was a terrible investment and forgot about it. Until it started moving up. So now my opinion is - AEM is a wonderful company and IAG , one of these days, is going to be wonderful, too.

      Natural Gas Bid Positive for Canadian Royalty Trusts
      I own Hte. It pays over 16% dividend on a monthly basis. Additionally, it is the most profitable item in my portfolio. Those are facts I understand. Do you, Georealist?

      Gold's Just Getting Started - Barron's Interview
      To David, and, I believe, a few others: If you own coins with collector value, the government cannot get them. Because coins with numismatic value all differ in price and fall into another category, whereby each coin is valued individually. And not just for the gold content. I read all of your 16 comments, some of them very clever, and was amazed that not one of you mentioned this fact.

      Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News
      Ms. Levy. Don't you have any opinion at all on gold and oil? And platinum? Maybe silver? Or any other commodity? Wake up!

      Most Commodities Currently Overbought, Led By Gold
      Preceding comment is very well-written and also very true. I will add another thought. It is O.K. for the stock market to be "overbought" for many months, but gold becomes "overbought" after one week. As does oil. I think not.

      Recession Fears Will Bring Oil Down to $70
      I agree with Ernie Montague. For instance, I remember when See's chocolates were $1.20 per lb. That was in 1946. And if you bought a pound, it did not seem like a bargain. Today, this same item sells for over $14.00 per lb. The descent of the dollar has been underway for a considerable time. $100 for oil is, in the minds of many, a resistance point. Round numbers have that effect. But just as soon as oil is $105.00, the round number will be unimportant. And the reality that the price of oil, along with a lot of other things, is destined to go much higher, will be an accepted fact.

      A Closer Look At the Gold Price Chart
      The statement which is most ridiculous, in my opinion, is Mr. Iacono's pronouncement that whenever he speaks about gold, the price goes down. I never heard of him until today. Is it possible that everyone else has? And is it also possible that the price of gold evolves from the statements of one person? But the really overwhelming question is Why is this man, considering his bearish attitude, long GLD? He is long gold, while, at the same time, reviling it. With such a monumental balancing-act in progress, it would seem to me that he should give up all investments of this type, and cash in by getting a job in the circus, where his talents would be appreciated.

      Going for Gold? It's Overrated
      There are many negative voices like yours. I bought gold under $400 and my investment has tripled. Also, my stock portfolio is heavily weighted in that direction and also in basic resources. I will get ready to sell when everybody wants to buy. Which has not happened yet.

      Jim Cramer's Stop Trading! 10/22/07: Rio's for Real
      Annie, you just said that you CAN stand somebody like Cramer.It looks like you can be wrong sometimes, just like all of us. Maybe it might be a good idea to proofread the next thing you write. Many times I have heard Cramer say that he was wrong. But I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT HIS INTENTIONS ARE GOOD.

      I have been trading in the stockmarket for more than 25 years. I know a lot of smart people, but I do not know one person who has never made a mistake. Do you?

      Washington Mutual: Is Dividend Okay?
      The purpose of the author was not to answer the question, but to induce the reader to weigh the facts now available, and attempt to develop an opinion. Nobody has the answer. I found it very helpful, because it caused me to think about the question.

      Gold's Value In the 21st Century: About As Real As the Myth of El Dorado
      Hello, Matt Hougan, Your thoughts were interesting and so were everybody else's. During the last year and one half,I have been tossed back and forth by my gold stock investments. Big swings up and down. Especially the last three weeks. So, unlike the other commentators who say you are crazy, I do not. But you asked what you were missing, and if we concentrate only on the present, I can answer that reaching-out question. In 2001 I bought some gold coins for $440 each. A couple of days ago they were worth more than $880 each. So if you determine how many dollar bills you had in 2001 and how many gold coins you would have bought, you will immediately see, in dollars, what you are missing. Also, if you remember how much cash you had in 2001, you would have at least twice as much today if you had invested the total amount in those gold coins. As for gold stocks, believe me, youare not missing much, unless, like me, you had bought them.Beverly Albins aka misterchan.
