The Irony! I have unpopularly been calling for gold to sell off for a while. Ironically in my opinion it has actually held up better than I expected so far but the gold equities are trading as if gold is in free fall anyway. I think it would be better for the equities if gold just had the a big flush out day I think myself and many other traders are expecting instead of this steady drip lower that allows the shorts to grind lower, and traders to keep positioning for the big flush out that feels inevitable but may or may not ever come! I mean gold is still at $1916 as I type this. Not much more than $150 off it's all time high! lol. And the equities are getting smoked, AR included! Imagine someone telling you not too long ago that $1915 gold would be a reason to sell a gold stock! lol. That said it looks like reasonable or not, for now the person running the elevator is wanting to go down! Crazy times for sure! Just my opinion. Good luck to all.
