The R/S is irrelevant, however, things like JNUG's vs. GOLD's chart, the decay in JNUG, and where you see GOLD heading over the next six months are all very relevant to mastering a workable trading strategy for JNUG - or GDXJ - which is essentially JNUG without the leverage and therefore without the big decay element. Junior miners have been weak wrt to gold over past two months (check out GDXJ two month chart vs. GOLD two month chart) so trade or invest in either or both JNUG and GDXJ but with appropriate caution and diligence, imo.
