We could try bottom-fishing on a pullback to 25.73, but GDX is not likely to be so obliging. My suggestion is to tune to the chat room, since there are other ways to get aboard, including buying a bullish breakout before it is noticed by chartists who use other methods. Call options in this vehicle are in the stratosphere, so I would caution against simply jumping on them at random. ______ UPDATE: GDX has gotten whacked for nearly 8% today and looks primed to fall to at least 24.74 over the near term. We should be ready to attempt tightly stopped bottom-fishing if and when it gets there. My worst-case forecast for the next 3-5 days is 21.93.
