Finally, when reviewing the price action in the mining stocks, we cannot help but think that the trend remains down and if anything, there is a real risk that prices may fall below the recent lows.

To your point and to mine about the admittedly falsified data coming out the USG. https://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/fake-employment-numbers-and-5-more-massive-economic-lies-the-government-is-telling-you (BTW in the month before the 2012 election, people predicted the BLS numbers would be fabricated.
