    still looking for the 'final purge', any thoughts or projections how low they might go? oh, and thanks again Matt for convincing me that selling GDXJ 16 puts was not a good idea a coupla months back....

    I would say if it busts the support area labelled "short term support", then 2008 lows are in the cards.  Crazy to think of that.  Here we are at record highs in $SPX in 4+ year bull run that has had two main features: "precious metals bull market caused by fed"; and tech bonanza led by Apple.  On this day of RECORD highs, gdxj is down 7.5% and AAPL is down 4.5%.

    nice chart, fed wants er is busting the gold bubble....

    that is, out of ammo to inflate - thus the strong US$ & weak commodities - look at the early '80s for a template.

    gold stocks are breaking the "march 09 lows" -- because they bottomed way sooner than the broad market.  Don't know if the "V-bottom" of 2009 can happen again is the problem.  The "shock and awe" monetary campaign might be a once in a long while effort (or at least the reaction to it).  Gold stocks had a 5 year bear market from 1996-2001.  We are only a little over 2 years into this one.

    well hazbin1- either GDX makes a slight new divergent low, or it goes a lot lower to eventually hit the weekly H&S patterns, which basically meet or exceed the 2008 lows.

    also remember the gaps that I pointed out on GDX that were never filled from Dec 2008, here's that chart, those gaps might be targets
