Clearly, substantial and undreamed of leverage has been given the price of gold to junior Canadian gold mining stocks! To "buy" the CDNX index would have cost you five ounces in 2007 can now be had for less than an ounce at .83/oz.! We can relate to this as our stock portfolio of junior SILVER miners are still languishing as well. Who will the major miners turn to for growth?
An ethical person - like a politician, banker or lawyer - may know right from wrong, but unlike many of them, a moral person lives it. An Americanist first already knows that. Bankers and their government agents will always act in their own best interests. Any residual benefit flowing down to the citizens by happenstance will just be litter.
