David Erfle’s Current Gold Stock Approach and Exit Strategy Explained

Pro mining investor David Erfle of JuniorMinerJunky.com explains his current gold stock strategy and the needed psychology of a successful junior mining speculator. Erfle argues his prior “buy the boredom” message still applies, describing recent weakness as a sentiment washout with the gold miner’s bullish percentage index hitting zero for the first time since late 2015, alongside decade-low COMEX open interest—conditions he says can precede major bottoms. He contrasts investor interest in AI/SpaceX with miners’ record profits, strong margins, improved balance sheets, and cheap valuations, noting low volumes and continued disinterest. Erfle explains his approach: accumulate during capitulation, trim during parabolic “rhino horn” moves, manage exits stock-by-stock, and focus on undervalued juniors and potential buyouts He shares his portfolio performance history and a few specific examples.
