Apparently,In the 1970's, the juniors did very poorly until 1978-79 , (so, a good 7 to 9 years into that secular gold bull market) which was odd considering that the price of gold had already made incredible new highs. But finally, at a certain point , the juniors woke up and started taking off like there was no tomorrow....We could very well be on the verge of the juniors starting a bull-run that could be the mother of all bull-runs...let's hope anyways but maybe we need gold at 1200.00 to start the ball really rolling...Who really knows?

I think it's all about the profits, that the majors and intermediates will be making, when gold hits 1200.00 to 10,000/ounce. Lots of institutional money will start flooding into this tiny sector and that means hundreds of billions of fresh dollars rocking the JPM world....Junior stocks should go through the stratosphere... Can anyone say ECU at 100.00/share....:) lol Hey if JDS Uniphase could go from 2.00/share to 190.00/share (tech stock bubble)why not ECU?
