Scoutaz,

I think it was Mark Twain who was the first to say that. 

What it all comes down to is the desire to make money. If that "dirt" has enough estimated value at a given gold price, investing in it can be profitable.

And, there's the hitch. As long as the gold price remains suppressed, and profitability is marginal, investors will suffer with low share prices.

It's that simple.

If gold were selling above last year's high of around $1,370, and not $200 below that now, we'd all be sitting pretty.

But, we're not. 

Fock the bullion banks!
