Some very old trading advice

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jumped over the candlestick. ;))

In today's market it just doesn't make sense to buy and hold. My portfolio has taken a substantial hit these past couple of months, with the greatest drop in the last 2 weeks. Gold needs to hold $1600, and all signs point to $1440 on the downside if that level doesn't hold. As I write this, gold is at $1590.

In Canadian dollars, gold is at $1648 C$, which currently places Canadian miners in a sweet spot.

Choose your favourite miners and begin accumulating when those stocks settle down and it appears to be consolidating. The period leading up to Christmas and New Years is a quiet one with very low volume. Trade carefully, and invest wisely.

Until we get a clear signal for the upside, be like Jack, nimble, quick and buy higher when a stock begins uptrending.

Merry Christmas to everyone, and here's to a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year!

Cheers
