    GDX trying to get going—again–lol–s/t possibilities, long term, much work to do.

      Hi Mike,
      Yes, I’m exposed via BVN, AG, PAAS, and RGLD… you’ll want to watch them closely as many are approaching the 200 day SMA from below, the pattern has been to sell off as they test the 200 day (as they are in a downtrend), of course there’s always hope that “this will be the time” they break through, I’d just watch them closely as the approach some hefty resistance. Best of luck, I’ll cover them some more when they test the next key resistance / support level.

      Josh
