I think some people here need a lesson on bear markets. We may well be coming out of one and have seen the worst, but even so it's the quality big cap stocks get the most benefit from the early recovery rallies, as seen today.

Most smaller resource companies would have been red today as it takes longer for confidence to return to these more risky plays. So be patient and think about why you bought this stock in the first place.

I bet many were feeling like this last August but in three short months we were above $4. The hoards will be back, just make sure you have your target holdings in place by then so you don't have to chase it on the way up!
