Great post, Wanderer.

I totally agree. Holding on for dear life is a good analogy... it may take a while, but better times are ahead for the whole sector. If you are able, this is the time to build your portfolio and average down costs, ready for when prices start to accelerate up. The demand for metals will continue to increase significantly as many nations continue to industrialize (China, India, Southeast Asia, etc). The bigger mining companies may seem to be a safer investment, but there is a lot more opportunity for high returns with the juniors, especially at these low low prices.
