Your implying they should have sold their SOC holding to buy producers and would have been in profit ?
and if gold got pushed down to sub $1180 like many called ? Would you have in turn said bad choice ? Again, a luxury of hindsight
Why can't people have multiple holdings or exposure to more than one asset class or gold stock, unless you are assuming some people are weighted 100% in SOC
Have you ever considered some punters here are long term ? Or that they may want to wait for Arcadia results, or approval to drill Castor or magnitude of other reasons
Not all people are traders, some are investors with multiple holdings and exposure and therefore don't have to sell at inconvenient times to chase other stocks
