During the past year there has been very little talk about gold, silver or gold stocks in the media

2013 was one of the worst years for gold in a generation and the strangest part of it is that this loss came during a time in what should have been a banner year for gold.

Last week on October 8th the financial market experienced a broad based sell off. Every sector was down with utilities being the only exception.

The life cycle of most things not matter what it is (living, product, service, ideas etc…) go through four stages and the stock market is no different.

It has been a very long couple of years for the precious metal bugs.

Precious metals and their related mining stocks continue to underperform the broad market

How to trade Gold and other precious metals related investments is not that complex. But you must be willing to wait for price to provide low risk entry points before getting involved.

For the past several weeks, everywhere I looked all I could find was bullish articles.

Gold and gold miner stocks have underperformed in 2012 disappointing most traders.

We don’t hear much about gold and silver anymore on the news.
