@Sean K
I have never had a run like this (touches head) and I'm either going to keep it as is now without adding. Between the bar well hidden and PMGold in the SMSF I'm happy and strangely not delirious.
I had followed the mainstream of spreading the risk among assets and was driven to distraction with less than average results. Four years ago ( about a year after I gave up the grog ) I looked at markets and decided that Gold here and IT/IT connected in the US were the way to go. So listen to your uncle Garpal all beginners, don't drink and don't spread your risk. btw I had a marvellous 55 years on the grog, enjoyed every drop but others didn't.
Enough of self disclosure. This page will turn and some archeologist will find a hard drive in 1000 years time and read this. The page will turn and Gold and IT will probably go to crap and I'll be still ok.

I would hazard a guess that with your ( and some other members of ASF ) knowledge of producing and exploration PM companies that it becomes just a matter of time before they show some significant moves up. The moves are often multiples of the POG and other precious metals. Australia is such a significant Gold exporter that profits will come eventually ( or even tomorrow ! ). Who knows?The only thing comparable for me was the uranium bull from 2004/5, which was pretty nuts. That was quite a ride. But, the increase in POG hasn't transferred into the junior PMs which is a bit different. I was expecting anything with gold or silver in its name to go off. I was also expecting some other meme companies to change their name to 'XYZ gold' or such, which hasn't happened yet. Maybe the taxi drivers' focus is still on digital coins, etc.
On the last sentence, that was my exact feeling a couple of months ago and o ended up going to the US versionI would hazard a guess that with your ( and some other members of ASF ) knowledge of producing and exploration PM companies that it becomes just a matter of time before they show some significant moves up.

The good thing is that now with ETF's and forums such as ASF the pump and dump or buy and hold is less prevalent by the established brokers and you have a similar chance to advisers of picking the move correctly.
It is a shame that there is not an ETF on ASX like the small miners GDXJ on the NYSE. That would be ideal for me.

Pmgold seems to be legally attached to a 1 for 1 physical gold equivalent at least on the ASX.
Gold etf is not as far as i remember, and pmgold being a Perth Mint/WA state gov tool, more easily liable here if they default..so my preference for paper gold.
Happy to be proven wrong but that is my current assumption.
What's your preference for PMGOLD over GOLD or any of the others?
Oh, and it seems some people are jumping at shadows. One or two green candles and the correction is over, a red one and we're about to test $2400. In reality, it's a volatile, unpredictable situation and with the lack of certainty,it looks like some people are being very fickle with their outlooks.
@Sean K should be pleased with PMGOLD's price action recently. It is just poking it's nose over all time highs.
Given all the variations in factors affecting the POG I believe this stock is as good as any Gold index or other ETF as to the direction of Gold. It incorporates the AUD/USD currency changes, the POG and a stable ( I hope ) exchange home for trading Gold.

For momo investors, much of that rise may be due to a strengthening of the $USD as well as a rise in Gold. It is good though for those of us who got back in again after selling on The Donald's accession to the Throne.
I got to thinking about where Gold is stored, and much of my Gold is held as PMGOLD.
So where is the Gold stored at the Perth Mint, and how often is it audited? Is any of my Gold leased? Are there any liens over my Gold? From the Perth Mint site.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
PMGOLD is designed to track the international price of gold in Australian dollars
and offers investors a simple, low cost way to access the returns on gold.
PMGOLD trades like a regular share and is purchased via a stock broking account.
Investments in PMGOLD are fully backed by physical bullion held by The Perth
Mint, with metal stored on investors’ behalf guaranteed by the Government of
Western Australia.
PMGOLD units can be converted into gold holdings in a Perth Mint Depository
account. Depository account holders can choose to take delivery of physical
gold bars. Fees and charges apply.

Stabilised?This actually spiked up this am. Amazing. Must be the AUD crashing.
US gold looks to have stabilised and held up well. I thought it might have just gone out with the bath water.

Stabilised?
Prices of RMS, KAL, NST, DEG GOR, etc do not appear to be stable
