I wouldn't think they were very sincere. I mean they all pleaded not guilty. They all made deliberate steps to hide what they did.

I don't think there is a compelling reason to be in equities right now. I would be actually sitting on cash, looking for a better entry into the gold market. Gold has awakened out of 20-year bear market and surprised a lot of people.

This is not a surprise, based on their last earnings disappointment. I think they're a one-product company and somewhat of a status company. We expect more of the same in quarters to come.
