WEAK BUY
Not making much money.
BUY
Silver price has moved nicely and seem to follow gold prices for the most part. If you're bullish on gold, this would be a stock you could own.
COMMENT
Acquired Minefinders Corp on March 30. If he were going to buy another silver stock, it could be this. In the short term, it depends on what gold does. On a 2 to 3 year outlook you should be very happy.
COMMENT
Silver? Likes it. Others have better leverage, that he owns. He targets US$22. He doesn't like PAAS because it doesn't trade in Canada. Though not overweight, he prefers silver to gold which he feels will soon rise above $16.
BUY
Gold to silver ratio is high at 85. Could you recommend any name that provides exposure to silver? He knows the founder. A superb human being.
TOP PICK
They have a new president now and the mining minister in Guatemala has said he trying to sort this thing out in the next 90 days. It is the highest grade silver project out there. They just discovered a new deposit below one of their existing ones. (Analysts’ price target is $33.88)

PAAS recently completed its acquisition of Yamana Gold and aside from an increase in the price of silver, PAAS can benefit from long-term synergies associated with this acquisition. 
Its increased scale of operations in Latin America should help to increase its production levels. 
Alongside the acquisition, a general increase in production levels at its existing mines can be a positive catalyst for the company. 
We would be comfortable with this name, and we feel that investors may need to be patient as it attempts to find upwards momentum again.  

RISKY

He is a large shareholder but has sold some of his shares on the Yamana deal. He wants to understand how well they integrate Yamana. If they succeed with it, they will do very well. With respect to Escobal mine, they have done a good job with some of the Guatemala political risk, but still have possible lengthy issues to resolve.
