Brent Cook picks are down 20-40% San Gold up 20% over the same time period, producers would seem the best place to be. Homestake did well during the 1930s stock market crash but they didn't have the large money printing or debt back then, some people say that the general stock market has already been crashing relative to the price of gold. I have an open mind to a 2008 liquidity crisis bringing everything down, on ballance I prefer to be invested in gold than not.
