GDXJ is off 60% from 2011 high. GLD only off 12%. Now , I can put half my net worth into GDXJ , she go down another 20%, YES this could happen, I can still live a comfortable life till my expiration. I don't have to worry about stock market shenanigans , wars, crises....And I earn a decent dividend.
The upside... I expect a 100% gain when another #$%$ something happen.
