Maybe it's just me, but it sure seems like there's been more and more articles suggesting that the PM price rise is imminent, not next fall or next year, but right in front of us. Time will tell, of course, but it all sort of fits in with what Jim Sinclair said just several days ago about gold's coming price rise. In days not months. Maybe we're seeing the beginning.

I thought he probably had an inside look at the intentions of many mid-east deep pocket guys after visiting with some heavy hitters there recently. Could be these guys are really fed up with the London and New York shenanigans and their outright thieving and lying ways in the PM markets. Time for them to bring their gold home and load up on what's still out there. And Jim Sinclair knows this and its eventual impact on prices. Could be.

As far as the juniors are concerned, I think some of us just sit and stare at the daily wheel spinning going on with the juniors and the PMs scratching our heads and wondering what next. My juniors collectively are still about 1/2 of where they were a few years ago so I'm a long way from jumping up and down just yet. Right now most (but not all fortunately) of my juniors seem still to be caught in some kind of algorithmic muck that allows them to creep upwards for a few days sucking some guys in and then taking it away penny by penny. No rhyme or reason. Nothing personal. Just business.

I'd like to think all of my juniors are top notch, high quality miners, partly because a number of guys I respect own them too, so I'm quite confident that they'll have their day in the sun. If Jim Sinclair and others are correct, we may not have long to wait.
