Gold also typically moves in parallel with oil prices and even though I think today’s movement was more to do with the dollar, the current price of oil is not without its impact. http://investorideas.com/Podcasts/audio/sc-071807.mp3 Wed, 18 Jul 2007 06:00 PDT no 1:40 Investor Ideas, gold, stocks, gold stocks, ABX GG KGC NEM
