If the price of gold stands or keeps increasing ( Citigroup expects the price to reach $1450 in the next 3 months ), and more stimulus is injected in the world economy through quantitative easing , i believe more people will start looking at gold related equities to have access to the rise in gold prices .

So far most gold miners especialy for small producing companies have not benefitted from the gold price rally , imo it's a matter of time before some will feel there's more value to be made through gold miners then through buying physical gold when we stop talking about a double dip that could provoke a market correction .

I also agree with those here who say it's time for CMM to show some consistency in it's procedures and some stability in it's structure( especialy CEO ) .

There's too many good alternatives out there for institutional investors and those details make the whole difference for them when it comes to make a decision about where to invest .
