Hi Diabullic,
You are obviously a very informed and experienced gold investor. Agreed, we have all been thru these phases (some may call them "corrections") before. Myself it started in the high 200's and up. At the beginning I sold in a panic with every big drop and kicked myself for getting so caught up in the gold hype. With each "golden shower" it has become easier and easier to just ignore the computer screen on the bad days. Spot gold is at $934 at the moment. Thats nothing really considering where we have come from and how quickly. Yes, the markets will become more and more volatile as time goes on. Profits are never made by the majority when it comes to stock picking. Only the brave (some might say fools) will hang on when all else seems futile. That is when the real profit is made.
Lets hope we all can maintain more of an attention span and more patience than your two year old...who will no doubt one day benefit from your diligence.
Cheers,
