RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Short game/long game...starting to get interested...There is a good deal of wisdom in this strategy which can be hard to process if one is focused too much on the 'potential' of a mine or mining company. The price fluctuations in gold miners are too wild to treat them as normal mid term or long term investments. They are much more appropriately treated as trading vehicles, as you know. It took me a couple years to figure this out but i'm not a masochist, so I eventually learned to take profits when they're available, which can be frequent and can be very substantial. These wild fluctuations are what make them great trades. As for long term investments, I have physical gold and silver that is strictly off limits to trading and is treated as a multi-generational investment. I would advise others to do the same, if they have not already.
