The premium to NAV went from 30%+ down to 5% in a matter of weeks. As mustbepatient points out this may indicate a reasonable entry point. See details here:

When things turn around it will be a result of the governments around the world having pumped money of all kinds into the system. This will cause a surge in inflation as economies start to tick up. That's why I've been and continue to be bullish on precious metals and the miners of said metals. Really, anything that is sensitive to inflation is a good place to be.

The armageddon nuts and gold bugs always think that gold is the place to be, but in this case that does not mean they are wrong.

You can blame TMFBreakerDave for me adding pitches to so many of my picks.

The feds keep printing money, I'm betting on inflation, therefore...gold to hedge.
