RE:$2.71 low inFirst off commodities in general are even harder to trade than stocks and are more erratic. Junoirs in general are more like gambling so yes they are more unpredictable. Very seldom are we given the full story what is happening of course the company is going to paint a rosy picture. Yes timing the market is very hard but striking it rich off a junoir is even harder. Taking some profit when a stock surges and buying on dips on a company that the fundamentals have not changed is not a bad strategy. Agreed if you panic every time a individual stock goes down then an ETF is a better place to park your money. Markets down and silver down tough place to be right now .
