Summary
Suffice to add.. a second consecutive net monthly gain for GDX.
GDX is still 4.0% below the Feb' high of $25.71, but it looks very prone to being broken above in September. Any price action in the $26s would offer a straight run to the summer 2016 high of $31.70.
The 'hyper bulls' should be seeking a push to the $32s, which would then offer a grander run to 45/50 some time in 2018.
