Just yesterday, one of those Fools, All-Star Chemdawg, tapped the stock as a solid way to play the pullback in gold prices:
[G]old is struggling right now ... best time to buy is when everyone else is looking someplace else. [L]ong term drivers of inflation already in place. [N]o rally continues unabated ... this is just a momentary pause in a long term bullish trend.
