Geoly, I don't just have short-term plays or daytrades, though I do plenty of both. I have long and mid-term holds too. And rare-metal exploratory plays, are longer-term holds for me, I have been holding URST since .14, now look at it! Mining stocks tend to get hot too, when the rest of the market is sucking wind, which IMO it's getting ready to do, charts look okay right now on the INDU and the COMPQ, but the fundamentals are weak.
