by Sam Collins 07/02/09
ASA Ltd. (ASA) -- This exchange-traded fund (ETF) provides investors with an opportunity to invest in companies engaged in the mining or processing of gold, silver, platinum, diamonds and other precious minerals.

The stock broke from an ascending triangle on a bullish formation called a gold cross.

On May 8, at $47.50, I wrote, "The target for this breakout is initially $65, but longer-term investors could see ASA back to its old high of over $90 made in early 2008."
The target at $65 was easily made when ASA ran to over $72. The recent pullback on profit-taking may be a good opportunity to buy ASA for its longer-term target of over $90.
