It will be interesting to see if any strength comes back into the market when traders are back in full force. We can't forget the fear factor has clobbered confidence in the market in a weak period for mining shares and with bids drying up the volidity can make for more than exaggerated moves. If it puts a floor under us mid sept. than we have a kick at the cat for a good rebound. God knows, the spring will be tightly wound for a rebound this fall, so maybe it will give us a crack at making some coin on our bottom picks. Moving into the time of year for some strength in gold, gotta wonder how this will play out with the current prices this year. Maybe silver will be the choice for the Brides this year.
