Skel,
I love your "nice wind coming down the runway" rising gold price analogy.
Now's time for the pessimists to chime in with,
1. An engine sucks in a duck, we lose altitude and possibly crash.
2. We fly into a shear downdraft and go down, as in the POG takes a dive.
The "what if" list of what could go wrong might be extensive.
So, where's Rude Bob when we need him?
Bob?
Cheers,
Baires
