Our cyclical and fundamental research suggests a continuing long term bull market for gold and many of the mining stocks.  We expect “pit stops” to occur often along the way. We note that many gold mining stocks have bottomed since July 2013 as accumulation has been continuing. Many mining stocks have rocketed up 300% to 1500% despite few if any recommendations coming from the major banks and brokerage houses; they rarely fail to completely miss the gold market. Few investors have noticed that!
