---what may you exercise caution or do something differently this go around?---

dude, we do need to learn from our mistakes or else we would not be around for long ... I mean, my lady would kill me if she finds out what I have done with her money ...
Previously I found myself entering a position afraid of missing being in a rally, as you know this thread and other PM thread are predominantly bullish most of the time, and sometimes emotion will get the better of your judgement ...

I do scale in some positions in the last couple of weeks, namely GBN (SA miner), MGN (silver play), PMU (it can't go lower, can it ??? and if it goes down, I think I have company in Bert)
at present I am 90% cash and 10% miners
I intend to increase the PM allocation to 20% miners by the end of January, even though it might not be the bottom, I feel that at least a tradable bounce is forth coming ...

didn't you just buy back some PMPIX last week - you are feeling bullish ???

Yes, I believe that PD is still in the $XAU and it is at or near an ATH.
One interesting thing to watch is whether the PMs lead the overall market in both the ST and IT timeframes. I have noticed many times intraday that if the golds started to rally on a down day in the general market that it would signal a rally in the general market soon after. Does a protracted weakness in PMs signal pending weakness in general stocks or are the PMs setting a low here and everything rallies to another new high? Anything is possible but it is not likely the golds continue lower here and the market goes higher IMO.
