Skaaptjop, do you think our gold industry is safe with the current government? With the news I've heard about future nuclear power stations being built in SA and the Russians operating it. For all you know the Chinese might be given control over our gold mines and leave us with nothing.

Was never interested in gold. But this special year of 2015 it's starting to glitter for me.

So, ALSI came off just before 47711, possibly back into the 45000 levels to complete the reverse head and shoulders pattern( Elliot multiple corrective patterns). Lots opportunity coming up.....still overweight in Cash.
