I've been wondering about that myself. Why have my micro cap golds been booming, but my large caps been going nowhere? You'd think in a world of $1300.00 gold, alot of them would have doubled in value.
I've been wondering about this current lack of volatility in the gold market, too. The last time I saw it this flat would be back in 2007. I'm so used to its' moody swings that it bothers me when it's up or down so little. Up or down $3.00?!? Give me a break!
I like to think that volatility is going down because more people believe in gold and are evening out the price. It's the optimist in me. Maybe there's a general feeling of unease around the world, but nothing specific to spark it?
