All things consideredToday was an incredibly ugly day for the markets in general and for resource stocks in particular. Goldcorp down 20%, Yamana down 19%, Barrick down 15% and don't even mention Potash Corp, down 26%.We saw RIM get crushed earlier this week, there was really no sector or stock that was safe. This is fear driven, irrational selling and the people it was meant to put the most fear into was the U.S. congress. You can be sure the plunge protection team had a very light hand today and let things go as much as they could. Besides, they were too busy crushing gold and silver bullion. Everything seems counterintuitive lately, a flight to the dollar? I guess cash is king in these markets and the masses don't yet realize the ultimate cash is gold and silver. I guess only being down 10% today (with all of the damage occurring in the last 15 minutes) makes ER one of the market darlings. I don't know if anyone here holds BVG, I sold all mine ages ago on the descent from 1.20 but just look at what happened today in these crap markets. One day soon I hope to see percentage gains like this on ER's daily chart. If anyone here is a holder of BVG big congratulations today.
