I see you are still Threading! So, when everything on the planet is 'Tanking' as you call it, what is the reason? Is it the 'By the Numbers' stuff that Oh so many Traders go by these days? Does History provide any insights into what is really happening under the surface? If so, what has History to say with respect to new mineral developments into and coming out of just such an event? Remember NOT all cycles are the same. Many similar attributes, but there are a few specific attributes that allow distinctions to be discerned. So, when you get off the thread mill, want to help us out a little? Old Joe
