Re: [sharechat] Outlook for FY2004

What is the technical setup on gold at the moment as you see it and how would one best get access to it other than directly through gold stocks on asx as they have been getting a bit of a pasting because of the A$ rate. I incorrectly assesed LHG ASX a few weeks ago and got a pasting for my troubles, still have shirt on back (just).
