Has anyone, and everyone who digs ginseng ever thought that if we held all our roots till the price goes up to about a 1000 a pound to sell. The simple answer in no. Why, because we need money now. The average american digger will sell for very low just to get money on the spot. For the brite mind ones there is a stock trade market that is in play, and I am one to say that if you sell you roots during a period when the price is low, then you are played by the market! For the smart ones, they might sit on 20 pounds till the price is right. Now, as smart as that is for people like me they are going against a bigger trend , reason that the price is only rarely ever right, is the fact that we sell wild ginseng all market long to Hong Kong.
