The trend for gold should be up...no argument here, but anyone buying gold shares in the past couple of months has had to sit through fairly big drawdowns and unrelenting abuse if they are readers of SDII. My question is more towards this end...what can long-term investors learn from short-term traders about finding the best entry points for positions (i.e. IT bottoms) and what are the best vehicles for investors that are less concerned about trading IT waves then getting positions established in quality companies at reasonable levels. Since I am attempting to work within a long-term timeframe, I have been looking for companies like Wheaton and Ivanhoe that appear to have strong, savvy management, provide exposure to both copper and gold and are not likely to experience significant drawdowns over the short-term.
