>>>wouldn't have to do any of this if I had traded miners last year, but buy and hold just killed me.<<<

I was way down, too, especially on PMPIX, but kept on buying using capital from bear market funds. GDX was one of my best moves; I bought it for my daughter in October and it's up 77% right now.

Some PMPIX bought in my IRA in October is up 95%.

And then Patron helped me discover NGD, in which I have about 10% of investible assets after acquiring it at an average of less than $1.00 a share.

(I admit that I am bragging this way because there is at least one particular jerk on SI who is sure that I have lost my ass betting on gold and who would be terribly happy if I did.)
