This board is dead. Ha ha....PNP owns great stocks, but all the excitement is with individual miners with big news events.

I too am a loser bottom picker with PNP...and am down over 50%.

My trite guess is that it is credit crunch related?

Major miners are starting to jump again...maybe juniors will follow.

I am looking at emerging market bond funds hitting previous lows....as well as the US stock market looking for support near previous lows.

There is supposedly a lot of money looking 6 months ahead....and contrarians seeing stock market sentiment hitting decade lows...(see Mark Hulbert...and Merrill Lynch european survey)
