With the USD on the verge of collaps and the Yen flying I was certain That gold would test it's recent highs of 725. The gold stocks were holding up well and I thought they would lead the metal. The doesn't appear to be happening. A recovery today could change my thinking but unless that happens I'll be out of the stocks. I'm in at much lower prices and I don't want to give it back.

Thanks

That's why I'm holding for now. If it breaks below support I'll have to exit. But for now my stocks seem to be performing pretty well today.

This week provided a nice example of gold being a place where excess liquidity finds its way to when all else has been fully utilized. Think of it as a savings account - a place where when a checking account runs low of funds, you can temporarily take from it and pay your (margin, hedge, or carry trade) bills to right the ship until your next pay check (government intervention/monetary policy) catches up with a short term emergency.
