I am in the same boat as you. I am breaking my personal trading guidelines and it makes me uncomfortable. Today was a terribly disappointing day and I am starting to see a clearer picture of what is going on here. We have quite a few "eternal optimists" on this board and I think they are getting many people's heads. I'm sure you recall posts all these pps estimates that were being thrown around yesterday based on 1.5, 3, or 4.5 million ounces,etc. My view is that it is apparent that the overall market does not believe these estimates are accurate in the slightest bit, and that worries me. I guess it all boils down to how comfortable with risk each person is. Personally, I think it would take quite a positive day tomorrow in order to keep me around much longer. One more observation... for all the crap that gets said about bashers, lets look at the opposite end of the spectrum. How many times have we heard these "excuses/reasons" for any price drop... "It's these dang MMs playing games" or "The bashers are bringing this down because they are short". To me it makes more sense that the big money and smarter investors are not falling for the pumper's games. Just my thoughts, take it or leave it.
