Radius Gold (RDU-X)

Very good management that will do their best to make sure this works. Have a deal to build a small mine in Guatemala, which doesn't cost them anything and they get a percentage of what comes back. Have some joint ventures and projects out there. This is one to watch. Accumulate on pullbacks.

Has lagged considerable. The president of radius is focused. Probably one of the better times in the past year to buy this stock.

Had a lot of high expectations a couple of years ago. Didn't deliver up to what the market wanted. Very good management. Prefers others.

Good management team. Lots of cash in the bank. Low price.

Excellent management. Although the stock fell, he kept his stock and will wait to see what management can do with it. Management has a big vested interest in it.

Their drill results from Navividad will be very important. If they are good, this could be a very exciting project. Likes management and if the stock should decline, he may very well buy.

(A Top Pick June 27/05. Down 40%.) Would have been a Top Pick if Market Call did not have a limit of over $1 for Top Picks. The stock was clobbered when there were negative results a year ago. Not expensive.

Down 48%. Sold 20% of its holding. He still believes it is a good company. They have a superb management team They have had disappointments with one project but believes the next project could be better. He is not buying anymore but is still holding a big amount.

Had 2 disappointing drill tests, but worrying about that is short term thinking. If you are a speculator it would be worth having in your portfolio.

This company had developed a project in Nicaragua called Natividad which they joint ventured to Meridian Gold. Meridian came in on the first round of drilling, the drill results were disappointing and the stock fell quite dramatically. That reduction was maybe a little overdone, was justified by the drill results as they were disappointing. Sold a little bit of his stocks when it was falling but when it got to $.80/.90 he stopped selling. When it got around $.70 it wasn't worth selling but because of his significant holdings, he hasn't bought any more. The update is that Meridian is coming back in the first half of this year and they are going to commence another regressive second round of drilling. What could have happened is that the first round was too shallow so they are going to drill deeper. In subsequent prospecting they identified an additional gold zone so they are going to follow up on exploration there. Radius has also generated an additional project in Nicaragua and have also been generating projects in Mexico. The company is still very active. Good management team and a very strong treasury.

Got whacked pretty good recently. Have some outstanding projects in Central America. Good management. Likes the stock longer term.

Management is honest. Wouldn't give up on it yet. Would buy if the price was a bit lower.

Was one of the largest holdings in my portfolio. If it falls under 50 cents it's a buy.

(A top pick March 2/05. Down 14%.) Likes the El Pavon discovery. In joint venture with Meridian (MNG-T). Meridian will spend $5 million for the option to buy 60% of the gold that's discovered. Very early stage, grass roots.
