SC, The larger cap gold miners (GDX) have done almost as well as the small cap GDXJ. The charts are looking near term overbought, but with the dollar breaking key support it's likely that gold will continue its recovery.
Those miners had gotten so cheap that even with the recent double, they're still not even back to the 2014 high, which was around 45 for the GDXJ. Its peak was over 170 in late 2010, so still a lot of upside if the dollar continues to weaken.
