There is no doubt that the major and mid-tier gold mining companies need new gold resources -- regardless of the gold price. That is a fact. Making money then only involves positioning yourself in the way of a gold discovery. That is much, much easier than figuring out how China, the US and the rest of the world will respond to events that we realistically cannot predict in an economic climate that changes daily. If your objective is to make money then what happens in China is little more than an interesting distraction between hockey and football games. You only have to know where the puck or football are going in your small game and situate yourself accordingly. (Quote Brent Cook)

In the short term (5 to 10 years) no thinking just positioning and procrastinating! (contemplating the 'ol navel the while the dollars come rushing in.)

Its that easy!
