Ned Schmidt: Gold Going Through Corrective Phase−Relax and Build Some Cash

Ned Schmidt CFA, publisher of the Value View Gold Report, sees gold going through a normal corrective phase. He advises investors to just relax and build some cash. Ned believes the year-over-year comparisons for the gold companies will be poor, which will lead to better buying opportunities in the summer.
