If you are a true contrarian you would have been buying this week and in the coming days, I think. It's obvious Hamilton's buying beaten down gold stocks currently due to gold and the dollar both converging to their 200dmas. It's a clinical strategy devoid of emotion, yet one must have nerves of steel to follow this approach (as well as a belief that gold and the dollar maintains a strong inverse relationship). I've been trying this approach but have not had peace of mind lately. I also read somewhere that Russwinter has doubled his position in CLG and MNG. He's also started a position in NNO.In Russ's profile, he describes his investing style as a contrarian. Others have been on the more cautious side waiting for a clear indication that the gold/silver correction is over. I'm an inexperienced investor trying to learn from those that I respect and who make sense to me. I'm playing with fire at the moment, somewhat wreckless and naive, but I've been riding one large learning curve. Hopefully I'll ride this curve up and not down. At this moment there are a lot of contradicting indicators out there (based on what I have read). I guess it all depends on one's risk tolerance. (JMO) John

Yes I'm quite sure that those who are being spooked out of their shares will be disappointed as gold rises very soon. We must remember why we are in gold. Those in it simply for a quick buck will be subject to the sailboat without a rudder syndrome. Those who are in it because they believe in it will be victorious. I'm 55% net worth invested in gold and silver bullion and junior shares. All I can say to those who are selling out is BYE BYE. Junior mining shares don't need large volumes to move up. They can move up or down on a few thousand shares and leave you in the dust.
