Actually it's an American adage, so tax is not applicable. Maybe it's to do with the upcoming summer season there. I don't know.
But I think you may have missed my point...we're not talking about the ASX here:

And gold stocks - for obvious reasons - seem to have a life of their own (even tho they are ASX traded).
