All rights reserved it went from 8 to 2...so what, it first went from 20 or 30 cents to 8 after all. at $2 it's still up several 100% from its lows. in the 90's, it once traded at $21. when the gold bull market goes into its final phase a few years hence, you will probably need a microscope to detect that move from 8 to 2 on a linear chart. in the 1970's bull market, the correction that began in late '74 took some gold stocks down by 80 to 90% from their '74 highs...once the correction ended many proceeded to rise by 1000ds of percent from their correction lows. this is only meant to illustrate that the biggest risk in a long term bull market is being out of it. of course nimble traders who catch all the important turns will make the most of it, but guessing where those turns are is tricky. and it's bad when after suffering through lots of ups and downs one gets left at the station when this market really takes off.
