Citron Research is, most of the time, a short seller. (I believe that "citron" is the French word for "lemon".) They do research on companies, especially companies that are badly run, they will take a short position in the company, then write an article exposing management. After the article comes out, the price of the company shares drop, Citron closes out their position and takes a nice profit. They are definitely not saints. Having said that, their research is usually quite solid and is the reason that the shares of the company drop after the article by Citron.
I use Citron as a warning signal. While I may not short a company that Citron "exposes", I would definitely not go long on it either.

Nice article.
I like the way that you give credit to Adam Gill for his VRNG articles. They are one of the better articles around. As a VRNG long, I appreciate his viewpoint even if his analysis at times does not jive with my long position.

@mrfisher111,
Not so sure that I agree with you. The gold miners face increasing costs to get the gold out of the ground. The easy pickings have already been taken. Why not just go for the physical metal as the miners have the extra burden of increasing mining costs?
