If you expected Kimber to move just a couple days into a gold leg up, you probably invested in the wrong company. If you study the gold market, the major gold producers tend to move up with gold first. Then, once gold has settled convincingly at a higher trading range, and the major producers have the higher gold price priced into their stock values, investors start looking for value down the foodchain. That's when the juniors start to move.

But again, gold has to confirm its higher valuation by staying up for some time, allowing the 50 & 200 day moving averages and other technical indicators to improve and establishing that the move up was not simply a temporary spike. Someone who does not understand this simple dynamic has no business investing in juniors and should probably stick to bullion and the major producers.
