RE: [sharechat] reply to allan russell re gold question by macdunk
Hi Duncan,
I thought your post invited all people with gold positions to contribute
ergo, I reported on a transaction completed that day. There was a start and a
finish to the gold transaction and the percentages reported were net of
transaction costs. The figure for the rise in the Kiwi dollar did not have
commissions deducted since I did not initiate nor close out a position
during the corresponding period. Had I thought the percentage rise in the Kiwi
dollar would have been less, thereby bolstering the case for gold.
Cheers,
Allan

<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi
Allan.<BR>
The reason I asked Lazy Haggis the question was, firstly he was the one that
told us to buy gold this time last year.<BR>The other more to the point reason
Is, he Is smart enough to give honest answers without point scoring.<BR>I was
going over my list of shares In my portfolio at the start of 2003, and asking
the question of myself, with hindesight what I did right and what I did
wrong. I did
tell lazy haggis he was wrong at the time, so It was only fair to direct the
question at him.<BR>I wanted to compare and hopefully learn something
new. <BR>I did keep the question basic so lets be having you
haggis you were wrong with sky city.<BR>I very nearly bought gold In the
eighties, which put me off for life, remember the one In NZ when they opened
the
vault nothing was there. I bought a house section on spec
otherwise I was one of them. The reason I
gave the first and last trading days of the year Is simple, every trade has a
start and finish, and cost to undertake therefore to leave one out, makes an
answer absolute
rubbish..<BR>
