“During our many walks together, my father and I often compared his experiences in the 1920s and ’30s with mine in more recent decades. Each time brought new revelations. But we rarely missed the obvious fact that history repeats itself in strange ways. His experiences with the world’s leading gold mines in the early 1930s are a classic example. Their shares were downtrodden, misunderstood and undervalued, much as they are today. Then, right in the midst of the nation’s worst depression, select mining shares surprised nearly everyone. They bust out of their doldrums. They surged to their highest levels in history.”
