RichieD, miners were spared yesterday IMO.  Metals took a bigger hit -- miners held up well.  Could be a bullish sign going forward (maybe gives that slim chance of an IHS that Matt alludes to a better chance).  Even today, miners re-couped 50% of yesterday's losses, whereas metal didn't quite make 38% yet.  Again, miners outperform.  What would worry me is if the equity market had a decent correction as well as gold.  I haven't like PM stocks in a while as they have vastly underperformed the metal.
