Hi SP - I know curiosity killed the cat, but I'm just wondering what you trade when precious metals are down. Do you hold through the downswings, waiting for the next rise? If so, does it take long to make up for the downswings? So sorry if this is obvious, but I've been wondering.

Thanks for the reply SP.

Everyone needs to find their own way of doing this stuff for certain.
When I personally look for a place to park money, my most important criteria is to not lose any money. I have found that this was super important both when I first started out and also later on when I've had to protect what I've made. Therefore, plays like TAHO that have no record of positive earnings are ones that I would not touch as a long term play. Sure, they may indeed go up and I may trade them, but for me, I would not park money in them - just way too risky. The mining biz is risky enough to generally keep me away from parking there (of course not ALWAYS as I think NEM is a fine prospect at these levels to consider parking there, but they have a long and proven history and even provide a divy) but parking money in one this young, with a current mrkt cap well over 2billion that is already projecting some rosy earnings coming up of over $2 would just worry me to death. I see it is down over 4.5% today and these kind of swings are also something I try to stay away from when looking to park my money.
I realize we each have our own style and I wanted to share some of my style that would preclude me from a play like this. But, ya never know .... it could be a big winner :)

Best of luck bud!
