"I don't own gold mining stocks. There's so many other easy ways for people to buy gold now that the miners have stiff competition. And there's lots and lots of competitive situations in mining.

Thirty years ago if you wanted to buy gold, you were almost restricted to gold mining shares. That's not true anymore. You can buy all sorts of coins. In those days only Krugerrands were available, 30 years ago. Nobody even made gold coins except Krugerrands. Now many countries have them.

Mark Twain said the definition of a gold mine is 'a hole in the ground with a liar standing at the top of the hole' because there's just so many of them.

Jim Rogers : Some Gold Mining Stocks are extraordinarily beaten down

Jim Rogers : “Some of the gold-mining stocks are extraordinarily beaten down,” he said. “Many of them deserve to be beaten down. I think more money has been lost in buying gold-mining shares over the past 100, 150 years than any other sector, including airlines and railroads.
