(I remember it well!) The last 1/3 of January 06 was also strong for the HUI.<br /><br />If you look at SPTGD (I'm in Canada), that ran straight up from the 2nd week of March to the 2nd week of May. CDW gained 6c during the same period (weakening the SPTGD price action overall).<br /><br />Still interested in your info source on hedgies shorting miners....

In lieu of yesterday's in your face negative action in many mining shares there could be more to this story than hedge funds ratio trade. I have observed that in the past just prior to a take down in the PM metals arena mining shares are sold down as the insiders to the game are given advance notice of the plans. It can also be viewed as a momentum stopper for those new to precious metals who are considering investing in mining shares as a KEEP AWAY! tactic. Those opposed to PM will use all means at stopping joe q public from jumping in, anyway just my feelings in what I see happening.silverwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06356548144251479901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708908742323002823.post-17135402369039314392011-04-16T11:48:00.754-07:002011-04-16T11:48:00.754-07:00Great article, Dan.

If we are following that model this year, then next week could literally be the breakout week in the miners. We're about a week behind the 2006 pace, but after the last short-term correction, the mining shares began to take off in the second week of April 2006. So perhaps we shall soon see if 2006 is any guide to the current action.Laurence Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512608792667325309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708908742323002823.post-70384886155327999042011-04-16T09:43:24.755-07:002011-04-16T09:43:24.755-07:00Thanks for addressing the comatose metals stocks T...Thanks for addressing the comatose metals stocks Trader Dan. Gold and silver are going nuts, but the PM equities are losing value. If Hedgies are to blame and their scam will soon be up, that day can't arrive soon enough for me. Meanwhile, the bulls and bears are making money, but PM shareholders are the ones getting slaughtered.queencatbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07837979796096666493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708908742323002823.post-22381262960658904302011-04-16T09:07:13.501-07:002011-04-16T09:07:13.501-07:00crystal clear and informative - as always; thx Dan...crystal clear and informative - as always; thx Danstanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07151334384287326821noreply@blogger.com
