RE:RE:RE:Gold and Silver Is Moving Sharply Higher!Javaman, you wrote that
"But few persons would choose to hold a stock while it falls from such high levels, all the way to the bottom! That would just be foolish!"
You are presuming that everyone is an active trader, but the truth is that there are many passive investors who still buy and hold, and have been burned badly as a result. Even those who sold, had to sell at a loss.
You state in your post that it is "no big deal," but is it a big deal for many retail investors. Just ask them!
With the exception of the top quality juniors, most others have suffered a loss in market value. Agreed! But what critically seems to be missing from you analyses is the word, "accountability." Either you don't see the need for current management to be held accountable for the staggering losses to shareholders, or you are simply willing to gloss over the matter.
