gold stocks haven't had investors "believing" and rushing in to buy. They hardly go up with gold rising but definately go down substancially when gold goes down. It's hard to imangine when this change but I guess if you're going to bet that it will some of these stocks are getting reasonable and even though they may have some room to go down yet I decidecd to start with baby steps and pick up small amounts not wanting to be pressured when a bottom is put in. Auq , aurico was my first buy. This is a highly recomended play for growth by Casey Research and positioning is being recomended by them. .....we\ll see if better buys come but for this one inparticular, they have prod. coming online very soon.....do your own dd especially in this market/
