We've all obviously been conditioned that gold only goes down.  After 5 years of it, I think (hope) you'll be slightly upset you didn't hold longer. 

But these are miners and miners and gold don't always follow the same tune.

Of course you're right. RING was a light higher a year or two ago and I missed my chance to sell.
I'm still comfortable holding real gold, and I bought more  when it was really beaten down, but I don't think the miners are for me.

looking back on this thread, I can now see I was a year early from the optimal time to get into mining shares.

I have some mad money that is falling into my hands... $100 - $120 per month. I'm going to try trend-following on a gold fund like TGLDX Tocqueville Gold Fund, mostly so I don't have to pay the collectibles capital gains tax.
