HECLA MINING update...

originally published June 3rd, 2009

Hecla Mining has put in a good performance since it was recommended on the site towards the end of March in the $2.00 area, breaking out of a Double Bottom base area and advancing even some way beyond a still falling 200-day moving average. Yesterday, however, it dropped sharply on heavy turnover, a move which is interpreted as signaling that the current intermediate uptrend is over and a sizeable reaction may be beginning, which fits with silver looking set to react having arrived at a zone of strong resistance in an overbought state. As we are up some 74% on this trade even after yesterday's drop, it is considered wise to book our profits immedaitely and await developments - Hecla could react back to the $2.70 area where we could consider buying back in. TAKE PROFITS.
