I had been looking for an article on the 1973/74 stock market rout, since there was some mention that during this period stock markets under performed while the gold sector outperformed. Of course this follows after drawing analogies with the oil sector during this same period..

$ONE:GBN.V Weekly

This chart gives you a heads up months in advance with a strong inverse correlation against TLT which then oscillates to a strong correlation concommitently with a strong correlation of the inverted share price with the gold/silver ratio to generate a buy signal:

This chart obviously does not indicate when the management is at contrivance to defraud investors(be they shareholders, other miners, or equity swap holders), but gives a nicely coordinated signal. I would say that this chart would allow you to proceed on your own actionable advice, had the company been operated as a business, and not as a shell corporation of no value.
