You say you can’t cross the bridge until you find it but surely the miners found it over 100 years ago so we know the gold is there and in large quantities so in a case like that as an investor I would want to be the 1st to the water and the 1st to dip my toe in ! If you simply follow the herd the water is likely to get all messed up and maybe when you get there there might not be any left so getting in early would be my advice
