The last time the XAU traded as low as it did in Oct. Gold was around $325 an oz.. With Gold now priced more than 2X higher than that I doubt the mining industry is in any danger of bankruptcy, unlike the financial sector. If miners aren't going bankrupt then the only reason I can see for such ridiculously low prices is simply forced selling. Other wise know as emotions run amok.
When the market does something stupid I want to take advantage of it. No matter how I look at this it still looks stupid. Miners should be a big beneficiary if the market rallys.
