Clive Maund speaks the truth. But, what would you rather do, sell your gold stock wait for the plunge and hopefully go back in. Or keep your gold stock and just go for the ride, in the end, gold always wins.

I think you have to remember that if or when gold drops, everything will decrease in price (deflation), so the cash you have will have more purchasing power so you don't need to sell your gold stock.

When inflation hits, gold will be important to own because it will go through the ceiling. Yes, the men behind the scenes will think they are winning today, but tomorrow they will loose. You will win holding for the long term. Don't think short-term, JMHO.
