Why such a disappointing week?
Gold stocks have been topping...the momentum surge has slowed and so many people are looking to trim their 2x+ profits. Now this is a very big and frisky baby bull market, but nothing goes straight up. And it's just been born, so it's not like everyone is all in...long-termers are still traumatized by a lost decade in gold and resources in general. Then as well, gold etc has rocketed up, which attracts people who wouldn't know a porphyry from a potato chip, and who maybe trade on charts, maybe on a hunch.
So the wise and the scared and the ignorant are all looking to sell a few sometime, and maybe that time is now for some. And maybe they're wrong? Bull markets go and go and go...with each leg up getting over extended. And this gold bull market looks to be a doozy from it's early form. The brave and the patient will outperform the nimble and the clever, if it really does roll on for years.
But anyhow, I trimmed quite heavily because I'm spooked by the Grasberg incident. It's still my biggest bet though.
