RE:"Anaconda Mining Effect" Has Now Spread to VulcanNLMoose.... I call it the "Summer Vacation Effect", it happens every year, speculators go on vacation, but they are going to come back now that gold is starting to run into the fall. Up unitl now, this has been nothing but a spectacular buying opportunity in my opinion. Time will tell if I am right or wrong, but if you look at past records, I like my odds. There are many plays I and others are nibbling away at for the future.
