What I've witnessed on here over the past few weeks appears to simply be a case of 'stock market exhaustion' rising to the surface from a number of very well known posters who have been extremely active & successful for a number of years.
Don't forget to set some profits aside for well earned holidays with family and friends. The bb's will still be here.
It's an irrational trait and I've seen it happen to many posters who spend their time fighting naysayers 24/7 suddenly decide to have a blow out on another bb.
There was a poster from the GGP bb (not E1) who spent most of last year deramping WSBN all the while I practically 20 x bagged my WSBN holding. (I no longer hold or post over there). I actually think that individual must have suffered some kind of breakdown, as they couldn't see the two companies for what they were (at very different stages) and kept trying to argue it was no GGP.. lol.. you don't say!.
Most posters on here, in fact, most invested in any of the precious metals sector over the past few years should have been making some serious returns from their investments.
'Never waste a precious metals bull run' is the matra
But not all companies will move in lockstep with one another.
This is even more true of exploration companies
And the further down the junior market you go, the rate at which some will move in comparison to others is even more stark.
For many seeking out upside leverage to the gold price the first starting point for most will be the good quality producers.
You can practucally stick a pin in almost any of the top producers and all will have seen outsized returns vs the General markets.
As you move up the risk v reward scale into the junior space, you should want / demand to out perform the majors/ producers as a reward for taking on greater risk.
Plenty of 10 x baggers on offer in this space, but the junior index is and always will be more of a stock pickers space as not all will return 10 x 20 x 50 x or 100 x for the very best performers.
If you don't want the hassle just buy the junior gold miners index.
If however, you are prepared to do your research it should be possible to outperform the index by avoidiing the juniors that are unlikely to perform and concentrate your portfolio in the ones you have firm conviction will perform going forward based upon your own sound research.
However... don't expect a highly concentrated portfolio to go up in a straight line.
Anything at the extreme end of performances will always be far more volatile and if you can't ride out that volatility it's unlikely that you will ever see a 10 x or 20 x bagger nevermind a 100 x bagger.
