Sorry for the slow response. This year has been better than the last 7 for sure.
I guess it’s largely depended on what you’ve owned, because unlike in the past a rising tide hasn’t lifted all boats. I’ve had some winners I’ve sold too early, and some losers I’ve held too long, but still profitable on the year if I don’t mess things up.
As for sentiment, I would’ve expected the shares on the whole to have risen much higher given the move in the metals and thought we had a real chance to get to $16-1700.
