\u00a0It did.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" style=\"color: #26282a;\" data-reactid=\"23\">A lot of those stocks went from pennies to tens of dollars and I thought I was smart eventually quitting my job to blog full time and that is exactly when gold corrected. \u00a0I lost almost 90% from the highs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" style=\"color: #26282a;\" data-reactid=\"23\">I thought it would be a year or two correction but it lasted more like 8 years and now we are finally breaking out into new multiyear highs. \u00a0It was long dark winter of a bear market. \u00a0But I continued buying after failure and investing in scientists\u00a0I believed in. \u00a0Now it looks as though spring has arrived and the seeds we planted are sprouting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" style=\"color: #26282a;\" data-reactid=\"23\">Gold is on the verge of hitting new highs and palladium has surpassed those record highs soaring past $2k.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" style=\"color: #26282a;\" data-reactid=\"23\">We may be on the verge of that next run in the junior miners like we saw almost 20 years ago. \u00a0The Iran-US tensions now after the death of the Iranian General is the worse since 1979 when gold soared last time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" style=\"color: #26282a;\" data-reactid=\"23\">Now even Iraq is turning over to Iran against US asking troops to leave. \u00a0It seems Obama&#8217;s appeasement is all null and void now as they are threatening nuclear war again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" style=\"color: #26282a;\" data-reactid=\"23\">The tensions now especially around Strait of Hormuz is greater than that of the beginning of the Iraq War in 2003. \u00a0Gold benefits during times of financial uncertainty and war. \u00a0So does palladium which continues to tighten and move parabolic. \u00a0Silver looks strong too hitting almost $18.50.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" style=\"color: #26282a;\" data-reactid=\"23\"><a href=\"http:\/\/goldstocktrades.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/490x-1.png.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5197\" src=\"http:\/\/goldstocktrades.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/490x-1.png-300x168.jpeg\" alt=\"490x-1.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" style=\"color: #26282a;\" data-reactid=\"23\">Unlike many metals I can&#8217;t find palladium projects for development especially with no royalties or streams. \u00a0One that I have featured for months just came out with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genmining.com\/news\/news\/2020\/generation-mining-delivers-robust-independent-pea-for-marathon-palladium-project\/\">economics (PEA) today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" style=\"color: #26282a;\" data-reactid=\"23\">The chart looks amazing and I can&#8217;t find any other junior like this. \u00a0If you can find another palladium junior in North America with these economics please tell me! \u00a0Its hard to find a project that could average 200k palladium eq. ounces annually over 14 years at an all in sustaining cost under $600 an ounce.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" style=\"color: #26282a;\" data-reactid=\"23\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/ENm_IalUwAAz3No?format=jpg&amp;name=900x900\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"530\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" style=\"color: #26282a;\" data-reactid=\"23\">Please remember this is just the base case!
