Gold Stocks: Hold and Wait

Adrian Day's Global Analyst (05/03/2009)
"As for gold, we are rapidly approaching the summer season, traditionally a weak time for gold and gold stocks, particularly the juniors. Though in the current environment, gold can always surprise us on the upside, this summer is unlikely to be different for the junior sector. So we would hold gold and the better producers, but be cautious of acting too aggressively or too early in adding to the juniors. We may see significantly lower prices in the sector in the months ahead.

On balance, in our portfolio, for the next couple of months, we are holding most of our global and resource stocks; looking for opportunities to sell laggards; and will likely refrain from additional buys. But we expect to find many good opportunities towards the end of the summer."
