Next bull run in gold ..... As for me and my miner thread, I put a ton of work into it, and did my damnedest to succeed, but in the end I was just swimming against a tide that was just too strong. In all honesty, the best call on miners I ever made was when I got out. A lot of people didn't follow my lead, and got butchered for another 60% loss from there.
My advice, next time you want to play a bull run in gold, is just to buy gold. That's it, just buy gold. Physical or ETF's, whatever floats your boat. DON'T get greedy and think you'll make a better killing in miners. You won't. And if you want leverage? I don't recommend it, but if you do, just leverage gold itself. There are double or triple leveraged gold ETF's you can buy, or buy on margin. Steer clear of the miners.
