Gold is at 800 $/ounce, silver at 14 $/ounce, platinum at 1516 $/ounce, palladium at 356 $/ounce ... 25 years all time highs.

But look how the big world class precious metal companies are performing this year: Barrick Gold 37,99 USD down from 47.72 USD, Gold Fields 14.41 USD down from 20.70 USD, Harmony 9.57 USD down from 16.70 USD, Newmont Mining 47.71 USD down from 56,35 USD and the list goes on and on...

These were the companies analysts promoted last year because of higher metal prices, low investment risk, little downward risk ...

If you want to put your money in the metal sector, then it is my point of view that big money is only to be made with quality small cap mining companies. So, you already made the right choice. Just take the ups an downs that are inherent to these companies. Sit back and take it with grace or sweat it out. If you want reward that is the only way you will get it, and you will.

Or else, take your money to the big caps for a nice quiet ride....
