The other strategy is to buy gold. Preferably the metal, not the mining stocks, though either should treat you well. Within a week, gold should pull back a little. Buy and sell in about 5 months, if you're a trader..... or hold for 2 to 3 years if you're an investor. Hey Kevin just a heads up on the yellow metal. December-May is the traditional strong period for gold stocks. Often there is a lag/swoon over the summer as the field crews are out sampling and drilling in the northern hemisphere. Therefore, buying now and holding would present historical annual cycle risk that would only be challenged by extreme conditions pushing the price higher. Usually its "buy in December and sell in May." Also, the junior explorers could appreciate 4X + if the metal can get to $325 and make a run from there. Therefore if speculation is your objective, buying the metal is not the way to go. I am a proponent of gold as money however. This is a sensitive time to pick up anything large IMO. Small producers such as RIC that you noted earlier today in a scan for % gainers is a high quality company operating in Canada. Its near fair value however and needs a gold price break above the recent trading range. We are in the third week above 310 and I agree there will be a rest coming soon. The key will be to see if the uptrend can continue. If the US markets can establish a near term bottom the flow out of Gold could sync with the weak summer cycle. All JMHO. Anyway its fun to watch. Good luck, Jim
