New York spot gold fell $11.20 to close at $2,637.90 on Cyber Monday -- the New Age version of Black Friday shopping. Unfortunately, investors were not flocking to their on-line platforms to buy gold stocks today, as the TSX Venture Exchange fell 1.25 points to 613.01 and the TSX gold index fell 4.95 points to 353.23. Oh, there was some encouragement -- Mandalay Resources Corp. (MND) added nine cents to $3.70, but on just 65,000 shares. Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. (WDO) was more active, as it added five cents to $12.28 on 712,000 shares.

Among those in retreat today were Alamos Gold Inc. (AGI), which fell 62 cents to $25.99 on 996,000 shares, and Jaguar Mining Inc. (JAG), which lost 18 cents to $3.60 on 146,000 shares. Neither company had news today, but one that did, B2Gold Corp. (BTO), suffered a harder fall: It dropped 20 cents to $3.88 on 5.91 million shares on word that miners at its Fekola mine in Mali have hit the bricks.
