Major Raid on Miners - Any Good At All? You Bet...

  • 1st positive - As it is, HUI (gold miners index) has just retraced to 38.2% of Fibo. level (around 398 vs. yesterday's close at 399) within its multi-year bull rally trend since 2000.

  • In fact, it has more room to withstand further correction to 50% Fibo. Level (around 329) to be right on the support of this multi-year bull trend line.
