Markets. Part of the crisis is that governments continue to print money and to stimulate. Part of the demand for gold is from central banks rather than holding euro dollars. Ultimate solution is monetary inflation, which eventually leads to stagflation and the printing of more money. Feels we are setting up for another 1976-1984 type of recovery, which is stagflation, lower sustained unemployment, more government involvement, slow muddling growth and hard assets acting as an inflation hedge.

Continues to remain positive on this for the longer-term. Pretty good net margins, which continue to grow. Short-term, BHP Billiton (BHP-N) is talking about 16.5 million tons of capacity that they want to bring on, is affecting the stock negatively.

Not bullish on uranium. Doesn't really see the spot price escalating to $100 in the next year or so. Governments are looking to reduce their exposure.

All Cdn banks have been pretty volatile sideways traders from around 2005. Considers that more as yield plays, not growth stories. In the short-term, they are being compressed on interest margins. There has also been a decline in consumer spending and mortgage lending has been flat. They could trade off a little more.

An exploration story in Burkina Faso, Ghana and Mali. Have 9 exploration properties. Recently updated their resource on their Kiaka deposit of 4 million ounces at about 1 gram per ton. Pressure is probably concern about liquidity. Longer-term, he likes the name.

This is a growth by acquisition business. Relatively low margin and has been pretty steady Eddie. Good cash flow generator. Doesn't see a lot of long-term growth but if you're holding it for yield he would continue to do so.

Great leverage to the silver price. Has been pretty sideways. He is positively inclined on the price of silver. They're growing from 24-25 million ounces a year to 40 million. Should get great leverage because they don't share in the operating side of the business. Just increased dividends based on cash flow generation of the prior quarter.

Based in Eritrea, which has some higher political risks. Recently had a really good quarter. Converting from a gold company to a base metals producer.
