I just don't get it, when I first jumped in the gold/silver market in mid 2010 up until now, every time gold or silver's spot price went up, the miners flourished along with them. As of April of this year, this trend stopped. Stocks like Monument Mining, Hecla Mining, Crocodile Gold Corp, Minco Silver, CDE, Silver Wheaton, I mean you name it, that trend where the share price of a mining stock went up in adjacency to the spot price of gold and silver stopped.. As mentioned before, patience has got to be our best friend here.. I mean I betcha back in the day, there were guys like us saying the miners were due for an explosion anytime and it finally happened in 2010. You would think with gold and silver as historic highs that that trend would still be in effect and to a much greater extent.. gosh this is painful, I wish I could flash my memory of purchasing shares in these miners away for about a year or two only to discover one day that I'm an owner of 20,000 shares in Monument Mining worth $4-6 per share.. boy that would be something..
