T, In the late 70's and early 80's I think some of the mining stocks actually peaked almost two years after the metal but memory is the 1st thing to go. <g> t

It has been my experience that the miners tend to hold for a couple of months after the general economy does a downturn. This does not include pm's. Couldn't say on them.

The rule is metal stocks peak BEFORE the metal price. Market cycles are known to be 10-20-40 months, but I am not sure the cyclical phase difference. One could say 10 months but it is often less than that. Gold was running about six months. In the last run up of gold the gold companies did not appear to lead. They may in retrospect have led, but it was not apparent to me. EC<:-}
