Funny thing the POG. I wondered aloud on the weekend here that it might sell off mon if there is a mad panic and people sell anything that is worth something. I wasn't expecting it today. Of course I wasn't expecting Cdn markets to be down yesterday while the US were up either. Does that make me right one half time out of three? I think gold has long term strength, short term...who knows?

This market has beat me up a fair bit too, and I started buying a bit early, though it is my older holds that are hurting more than my recent buys.

Another book that I thought was OK was Jarislowsky's The Investment Zoo. I think he and my grandfather were cut from the same cloth! Not overly technical etc, but a conservative approach.
