March 10, 2010 by Editor · Leave a Comment
There’s a saying in the investment business that when the taxi driver and the delivery person are talking about a “no-lose, gotta-have” investment, it’s time to run for the exits. At that point of maximum adoration and comfort, the masses have gone wild. And that’s often the warning that the smart money is on its way to the exits and the novices will be trampled in the exodus. Think technology stock bubble in 2000, or house flipping three years ago. Now, think gold. Words: 471

9 Things to Look for When Choosing a Junior Mining Company to Invest In
March 4, 2010 by Editor · Leave a Comment
In mining exploration, an “anomaly” is a geological formation that might attract a prospector’s interest. However, one rule of thumb is that you have to look at 1,000 anomalies to find one prospect and fewer than one prospect in a thousand turns into a mine. In other words, finding a mine is a million-to-one shot and that is one reason why junior mining stocks are highly speculative.
