tough day in most miners, some holding up better than others. Looks like "bond issue" with recent rising rates is at hand, had some stops hit early on so about 33% long now. NEM "so far" holding up fairly well, stuff like GDXJ hit harder down now over 5%. This last hr could be ugly, however any sharp mkt decline IMO only brings in more easy money which ultimately will IMO lead to a much lower dollar and perhaps the FED as I have mentioned before may at some point try to "cap" longer term rates, interesting times

at some point in this cycle I think we are going to see the gold/miners decouple from the gen stock market significantly. It could be soon or could yet take a while. And commods are not phased much at all today "so far" with crude oil up today and copper barely off recent rally highs and DBA not down much.
