My trading plan is to invest $500.00 max in any one given gold mining stock that offers potential. Take gain at $5,000.00 and reinvest in other potentials. Maximum loss ten times $500.00 ($5,000.00). Maximum gain ten times $5,000.00 (50,000.00)or higer if you choose wisely. I like the odds. I am up $300,000.00 this year on one of my picks and am holding out for a million.
