All rights reserved in dollar terms it's about 120 million...not a whole lot. but the Rydex funds are a good barometer of general retail investor money flow trends, i.e. it's reasonable to assume that the overall outflow of small trader money from the sector was far larger.

All rights reserved there's that, but with the exception of a handful of stocks the entire sector looks weak. still stuck in the same mode it's been stuck in for several weeks - you need fairly big gains in the PoG just to keep the stuff from dropping further. not sure what, if anything, will change that. that said, we can probably expect a good post tax-loss selling spike in January. also, Rydex pm funds have lost about 40% of their assets over the past two weeks on account of withdrawals by Rydex timers - and remain about 50% below last year's high. that's a bullish contrarian sign, esp. as WS ratings for pm shares remain very restrained as well.
