But this level is okay too, for now, it "stimulates" more exploration and test drilling.

All that needs to happen is a little uptick in the dollar, which will happen when Bernanke takes (interesit rates up 25-50 basis points to deal with the very inflation caused by too many dollars chasing to few goods in a recovering economy) and the speculation cycle will burst. Traders were betting it would hit $75, and now they need to buy it to cover their bets, which creates "demand" that doesn't exist in the economy at large. It's a sucker's play.Teresitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05528002521904908827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-65302718192281115222009-10-24T15:58:08.216-04:002009-10-24T15:58:08.216-04:00Bobal:
