7. The Emergence of Junior Miners: These stocks have been beaten unmercifully into the ground. Importantly, the collapse in the Juniors led, by many months, the collapse in larger cap names throughout the natural resource world. The emergence of the Credit Contraction severely impacted many of these names which are in some cases, credit dependent in order to finance on going exploration efforts. Of interest, despite the waterfall collapse in recent weeks, these stocks appear to be sold out, and are actually gaining relative strength. That combined with some of the most oversold values on record, could make for an impressive turnaround in the small cap mining segment. A powerful rally in these stocks, would almost certainly suggest that the powers of reflation were gaining traction over the powers of deflation, which for the time being continue to prevail.
