Gold Stocks Explode, Silver Stocks Break out as Gold Stops Short of Breakout
What an incredible week it was for the precious metal sector. The stocks really took it away. They really shined. The silver stocks, SIL, SILJ, up 14% and 15% on the week. GDX GDXJ just up over 10% on the week. Absolutely exploding. And folks, this is why I am a buy and holder. This is why you will hurt yourself if you try and trade in and out of the sector. Even though I have been cautious in recent weeks, expecting more of a consolidation, looking for more weakness in the stocks, I didn't sell out of my positions, nor would I advise that because in a bull market, the surprises are to the upside.
