Ron are you sure and can you prove it with a graph? I'm remember reading that people were glad to buy treasuries that yielded nil - far better than buying things that went down in price - whereas gold stocks did well - Homestake at any rate. Also, on your point about valuations - there is a certain satisfaction in buying low - as opposed to buying high (very very high) and hoping to sell even higher. Look at the AMZN chart and many others. At some point one has to consider risk/reward - even if buying something low means that one may be out in ones timing by a few months. Actually I notice that many junior gold stocks are moving - some of the speculative excesses may mean that sentiment is right for 'having a go' in the exploration field. The ARP play has been a catalyst IMHO dd
