No worries.

The premise that gold stocks exaggerate (or are "leveraged" on) the price of gold itself still holds true, so you were coming from good intentions.

The relationship is quite a bit looser for the exploration, vs. the production companies.  The price of producing mine stocks are strongly affected by the price of gold and appear as if they are leveraged on it - and depend as well very much on whether the mining companies have hedged their forward production or not.

For the junior exploration companies, the price of gold would have to go way, way down to suggest that they're wasting their time, and ditto the price of gold could go up quite a bit before the existing enthusiasm for junior exploration is boosted any.

In any case we've had a good consolidation.  A few days ago I saw every one of my stocks go down, and now they're all bobbled back up, like the good ducks they are.
