And so, what now? Do we feign shock and awe day after day that bullion continues to soar, or do we reserve that for when gold has an off day -- a day that must surely come, right? Right? Bullion reached $4,250 early on Thursday, but that was just the start, as it carried on to the midafternoon pause, reaching $4,315.50, up $108.30 on the day. The TSX Venture Exchange nevertheless lost 20.25 points to 1,007.36, but the TSX gold index soared past a new hurdle, ending the day up 27.61 points to 815.16 -- just 17 sessions after having crossed the 700-point threshold.

There were naturally some big gains among gold miners listed in Canada today. McEwen Inc. (MUX) jumped $1.71 to $31.98 on 566,000 shares. (Remember when McEwen conceded defeat to the New York Stock Exchange and rolled back its stock 1:10 to return it above the $1 (U.S.) mark? No? Well, that was just three years ago. The consolidation bump-and-grind, usually a losing dance, worked, as it put McEwen at $4 and it has never looked back since then.)
