at some point this spring, I will strongly consider going long gold,and shorting the base metal miners. Am looking at mining indexes that don't include the gold miners.The miners usually start to struggle in spring. I kinda feel that if gold goes up, it will move much more than any movement (up or down) in the metals,and also feel that if the metals start to weaken, gold will still hold its own.I won't make any move until this present rally plays itself out. Any opinions or ideas on this,and how best to play this..cheers
