BUY
Likes them. Have a variety of projects in the Newfoundland area. Seem to be on early stage in South America on a project that merits a lot of attention. Had a management change which was good. Total speculation.
WEAK BUY
Had an intial drill result that proved worthy. Stock ran up in anticipation and on rumours of the drill results that it sold off on the actual news. They'll probably want to raise capital now. Has some speculative appeal. Good management.
BUY
The Russian project is formidable and more viable than some people thought. Will probably be in the 2nd tier of companies that he sees as take over candidates.
BUY
Taken a long time developing a cobalt deposit in Idaho. Had a hiccup on an announcement about access being denied on the property. Stock dropped and he bought more. A judge then ruled in their favour. Still have to get feasability studies and permitting. Sells at book value which is about $0.80/1.00. Speculative.
BUY
A very interesting story. They have put together a merchant bank operation that is 2nd to none. Looks like they have the right formula to make money even in a troubling environment.
WEAK BUY
Long term, this is the premier operating company. His concern is that he can see an economic slowdown. Longer term, because of their ability to partipate in the next economic cycle, it has value.
BUY
A speculative uranium play. It has managed to get a very interesting land position and is positioned to take advantage of any up movement in uranium prices. Highly speculative.
HOLD
Has broken a down trend that's it's been on for quite some time. Still hasn't been accepted back into the gold-bug community. Was a major hedger and is still not hedge free. Not in the 1st front of choices.
DON'T BUY
Had some interesting discoveries in Mexico. With almost 80 million shares outstanding and the price at almost $1 giving it an $80 million market cap, there is no rush to buy. They'll have to prove up and do some more deep drilling.
DON'T BUY
Thinks they're on to a world class deposit. Anything south of $5 offers some real value.
BUY
The worst is behind them. The takeover talk that existed a year or two ago has been wrung out of the stock. Continue to prove up a nice deposit. Going to be a market performer.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 19/05. Up 8%.) Returning to be one of the more formidable mining companies. Expect them to be a leader in the next move up. Still likes.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 19/05. Up 33%.) Starting to show some really relative strength here. Will be a candidate for consolidation.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 19/05. Up 20%.) Has bottomed very nicely. Could be a candidate as a takeover.
BUY
Think the market is starting to discount it somewhat. Thinks that it has seen its worst. A speculative long term value.
