I'm with BurningRoF on this one. I just can't bring myself to get excited over a 3.3 per cent gain.

I think the true giddy sensation won't kick in until we break through $2 again. I'll be in 100 per cent in the green after $1.90, so that will make me feel much, much better.

Of course we're going against the tide, particularly commodities, during these grim days of summer. I am grateful we've been holding steady at least while many other metals stocks have nosedived.
