From my perspective I have never been a fan of Rick Rule, although I recognize his personal success from his strategy, and the longer companies can hold out from cheap financing, the better off they will be even if it means slower progress and less short term results. At the same time I recognize some will have to move sooner than later or not survive, this last couple of years has really been difficult for companies and investors in the gold/silver equity sector. This does appear to be changing as the pendulum has already started the long march back to a positive trend.
