i hope the bullion gets up to $1,475. oz (USD)...because my gold miner stocks lag about a week
or so behind the spot price
the reason is because i plan to sell some shares around May 1st to pay off some liabilities...
Here is one example of buying into prescious metals, to have the ability to pay off debts with the
gains one has made during the Gold run-ups...
then to re-buy the shares sold, when they become cheaper during the pullbacks
this strategey has worked for me 99% of the times i've done it in the last 3 years...
my one time decline in my holdings/position was when the next run-up in gold stocks
lasted longer than expected and i was not able to recover a total of 18 shares (in my fund)
for the same $2000. of USD it provided me 6 months earlier.
(IOW = my holdings diminished- but my Principal remained the same) No great shakes
i expect (hope) to time this current run-up in price...cash in some shares now...
then to recoup those sold shares with less expensive shares during the expected
summer 2011 slowdown of Gold & PM...
A standard sell on the peaks= buy on the dips model.
that's how owning AU & PMs helps you throughout this volitile time...
