Of the four, yours truly favours Newmont. The cautious will arguably be on the sidelines, and hoping for a main market washout before the midterms, which would likely see the metals/miners cool back... if briefly.

Of the four, yours truly favours Newmont, but the monthly charts offer zero sign of a floor/turn. Arguably, even the bold will be sitting back, and waiting for a cyclical turn, which will likely be some months away.
