It has been difficult to say the least Jay,but believe it or not ,I am actually starting to feel just a little bit better about my investment. Ya,ya, I know I sound like a nut case, but with the TSX and oil gone for an irrational crap today, gold was actually up as well as AR and my only other gold holding, Premier ( PG). The world is still an unstable place and I firmly believe that gold will survive. Even the guy on Market Call Tonight last night said that his only gold holding was AR even if it was a small holding. My problem is that I HATE to sell low , even though at times I really should. It is now too late to sell AR and if I did, I know that the very next day, it would probably double !! I can hear Portee upstairs saying, " Time to back up the truck ". I honestly don't, think his record was any better than ours, but maybe he would be right this time !! Keep the faith and enjoy the upcoming holidays. Rico
