You bring up an excellent point, tax loss selling has not been a major factor in this market for the last year or two. In the "old" days, I used to sell all my juniors by Nov.30 and pick up stocks from about Dec. 15 on. We should all keep those old cycles in mind.

<Isn't the San Nicholas deposit uneconomic?. Borderline, as is nearly every zinc/copper mine and prospect on the planet. Pencils very good on a relative basis however: top quartile. My primary interest in WTC is the Penasquito silver target. <"Mostly I've gone into some cash."> Not sure you fully read my remark. "Mostly into cash" with one position BAY (of about twenty). I'm not that heavily into cash, maybe a 20-25% stash (if you count FGX) of my PM allocation. At one point (at the bottom) I was, shall we say "overexposed" almost to the point of recklessness, so this is just a pull in to more rational levels. <Nevsun will likely decline to C$0.30/share, and MNP could see C$0.8/share. Our cash may look great this December.> If I waited on the prices you mentioned, I might as well shut er down. I would buy well before those levels.
