Just yesterday, one of those Fools, DarthMaul09, tapped Primero as a particularly timely bargain opportunity:
The metals sell off appears to be both a capitulation of many gold investors and probable margin calls on long positions in the metals market. Irrational pessimism in the metals space will persist until [JPMorgan] and friends find it profitable to go long and harvest profits from the momentum players who decided to go short at the wrong time. As weak miners go bust, the ones that weather the storm will be rewarded. [Primero] is likely to among them.
