This always happens just before the big gold crash. As soon as you see adds in the paper "bring your old silver and gold to the fair grounds Sunday and we will pay you cash"-baby, it's time to get out of gold stocks.

Another strategy would be to buy stocks with nice dividends and hedge your stock purchase with the appropriate short-ETF. For instance, if you bought $5,000 BAC or PNW you might offset it with $2500 of SEF. Yes, if the market tuns around before you get out of SEF after this bailout you miss a little upside but you still have a nice dividend that you wouldn't have had otherwise.
