If gold miners got destroyed in 2013, junior gold miners got taken to the woodshed, obliterated, then eviscerated. You really can’t find a more beaten up sector over the past 3 years. You can’t find a sector that is more hated, where more pessimism and fear reign...

WHEN the stock market comes crashing down like it did in 1929, the DOW could feasibly go from 16,150 to 1,700 a 90% drop! The U.S. GDP would also plummet by $1 trillion in economic value today.
