Will the Real Price of Gold Please Stand Up
Source: Terry Coxon, Editor, Casey's Gold & Resource Report  (9/4/09)
Gold is traded around the clock and in so many places and so many forms that it's not clear what the "real" price is. The question is more than a matter of curiosity, since many retail coin and bullion shops quote selling prices in terms of "spot plus X%" or "spot plus $Y."

Source: Neil Charnock, Goldoz.com.au  (9/3/09)
Australian gold stocks have traditionally traded at lower valuation metrics compared to their North American counterparts. This time, however, in this Gold Bull Market, it will be different. . .A global demand wave inflicted on our small gold sector would push share prices into equilibrium with North America in quick order and to a point this has already begun.
