I'm just buying, dips or not!

I'm also strictly a physical stacker, no more mining stocks for me! I dabbled with mining stocks about 10 years ago and I really got disgusted with the whole sector. Exploration stocks (while a very few have gone to the moon) are mostly filled with scammers and scumbags. As they say in Star Wars, "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.".

If your companies are in the US or Canada, they get taxed and regulated out of business. If they are in South America or Africa, they get nationalized by tin-pot dictators.

But the worst of the worst of the worst are the "newsletter writers". They come across as delivering political commentary, but in reality are just pumping penny stocks.

I quit the mining sector and am almost exclusively physical. If I cannot hold it in my hand, I don't control it.....therefore I don't own it.
