But first, just a reminder about the gold conference in Canberra November 2nd through 5th in Canberra. You can read about it here. Space is limited, so if you’re keen to go, you’d better move fast. Your editor will be there too, for the first time, and is looking forward to a world-class line up of speakers on gold as money and gold investments.
