Good calls Kinghorn.

My overall fear was that the juniors had gone up 8 or 10 times over the last decade. That's a rise asking for a pullback (which we've had, to the 50% point).

Re: 52 weeks, yes, technicals and volume confirmations tell the story. This August 2008 was a good copy of the pattern of August 2007. Of course we're all hoping that Oct/Nov will also be copies !!!

One small bright note on the 52 week charts:

bigcharts

The 52 week low keeps creeping up. Two weeks ago it was still the old 35 cents of mid-August 2007. Then last week 44 cents was the 52 week low. This week 46 cents. Then 54 cents, 62 cents, 85 cents, and at the beginning of October all the old lows from 2007 will be wiped out, and the 52 week low will be in the $1.20's.

Just cheers me up a bit.
