Excerpt from Mind of the Market 2 – "Golden dreams in times of trouble."

Gold.
The very word conjures images of wealth and success, with good reason. And while it may be a long way from the last heyday of the junior golds – when companies like Golden Sceptre Resources, Golden Knight, International Corona, Breakwater, and Goliath were making legends out of men like Murray Pezim, and millionaires out of ordinary investors – still gold has been on an impressive run over the last three years.

Which makes some ‘gold bugs' very happy. The bugs – people who believe gold is the ultimate currency – had to endure a long, painful bear market in the ‘80's. And over the course of a 9 year bear, you learn a thing or two about the "buy and hold" philosophy!

"Many were kind of forced to hold on due to the long bear market. So a lot of the old ‘bugs' were in gold stocks for so long they had to really get to understand the sector." says Running Fox Resources President Michael Meyers. Which means there are a lot of astute companies and investors in the gold game these days.

Historically, gold has been the refuge in times of trouble, whether economic or military, and since 2001 it has been on a strong upward run (see chart) fueled by both fear and a faltering supply. After all, during the ‘90s, when the price of gold was in the tank, nobody was building mines. So now there's a shortage of new production ready to come on the market. That's led to a current spate of mergers and acquisitions among gold producers. Right now, it's faster to buy production than dig for it. Echo Bay Mines Ltd., for example, merged with Kinross Gold Corporation and TVX Gold Inc. to create a new company, turning a trio of relatively small companies into one of the world's top ten miners. Expect to see more deals like South Africa's Gold Field Resources takeover of Canada's Iamgold in a $2.1 billion stock-swap.
