Looking at S/R quickly, support at $3.30 is probably the last thing keeping it from going down to the green line on that gann chart. That would be about $2.60ish. That would not be a big help for the HUI. <_< cheers, john

Thanks Silent, With HL never participating in the rally from May I just write it off as a dog; probable political problems, but I see your point on the HUI impact. CDE and PAAS are back @ S/R from May after violation of the trend. Kissback or head fake? With POS persisting above 7.80 the resumption of the correction is not certain.
