    Played contrarian and decided to start a run at the miners this week. Will purchase more if it goes lower. Hoping for at least a 9-12 month holding period.

    I've been dollar cost averaging into GDXJ and GFI the last couple weeks and will continue with that strategy until gold hits $2000.00.

    Ugly chart - unless we see a double "W" bottom.

    I continue to nibble on GFI and GDXJ because I'm crazy.

    I'm crazy too. I bought some GDXJ yesterday morning, but I'm going to dump it if it makes new lows. Holding onto gold miners is not for the faint of heart.

    I was playing with AUY for a few months, got a nice run up, sold it, then thought I was buying it back low at $13 - then it sank another 20%. Hoping I'm patient enough to recoup the loss.

And then they just keep falling. Trading/investing in gold and miners can make you poor in a hurry. Because I prefer to buy low (and sell high), I like doing a little bottom fishing in beaten down sectors--especially when sentiment is at all-time lows (like it is with gold and miners right now). But I've lost more money trying to make trades in gold/miners than I care to count. Even when gold has been on a tear, miners have lagged. A lot of miners are near their 2008 lows, even though (I think) gold has more than doubled since that time. If you look at a chart of GDX or GDXJ, you'll see that shares of miners are going to have double and even triple before getting back to 2011 levels. Maybe even more incredible is the fact that GDXJ is going to have to rise by 50% or more just to get where it was in March and the first half of April. If yesterday was a meaningful bottom in the miners, then I'm going to hold on to these shares (GDXJ and NEM) for a while (and hopefully make a decent chunk of change). But I have no problem selling for a loss (hopefully a small one) and living to see another day. I guess I'm too much a wimp--my stomach can't take the way the miners, in a bear market, often drop 5% to 10% on a regular basis.

    I'm not going to buy any gold, but I might get my shovel and sluice and jump in the river and dig some up.

    Who am I kidding I used to do that 20 years ago (I have about half an ounce), but 2 back surgeries in the past 6 years means I can only mine in my dreams and memories.

    I looked into selling that gold last fall when the price was in the $1650 range. The old rules still hold - you buy at a premium+ and you sell at a heavy discount.

    If you invest in mining companies you are subject to performance mistakes of the company and sentiment of the group by investors. I think I'll just stick to the GLD when the time comes to buy.
