RE:RE:RE:RE:Follow the money trail.......I just read your most recent post and kind of smiled. You must know that just about every gold mining stock has had the worst rout ever these past few years. There are so many quality gems out there (gug is one) that are ripe for the picking.
The psychology of the average investor is very short-sighted. They buy at the high because everyone else is (herd mentality). These are the people I sell to. And these same people who bought at the top will sell at the bottom. And these are the people I buy from. Also, not all gold stocks rise (or fall) at the same time. Unfortunately, sp movements can be often sudden and thusly many miss a buying opp.
All it takes is research, chart watching, and in this market, putting in "stink" bids on quality gold stocks and finally, patience while you wait for your order to get filled. Most investors are too scared when a gem is selling so cheap, even though they know in their gut that the fundamentals are screaming buy! They'd rather buy along with everyone else when the sp is much higher, and prone to profit-taking. And that's just the way it goes.
It is very important to have a skeptical eye, but not at the determent of missing out on an opportunity -- be it stocks or anything else in life.
Take care and hope this helps. Jmvho.
