Peter Grandich:Ratchet Up Your Enthusiasm For Gold
Given the fact that the great secular gold bull market has gone on for about eight years and has seen a more then a tripling in price, the amount of enthusiasm in and around the metals and mining industry currently doesn’t come close to matching the results. In fact, I believe there was far more exuberance with gold breaking above $400 than there is now at $1,100. How anyone can call gold in a bubble is beyond me. Continue…
Norman Duncan:Windarra Minerals, An Unusual Play On Gold
I’ve come to the startling conclusion over the past few months that my crystal ball has a problem with timing. The gold correction that I was worrying about came in January, rather than the usual early spring pull-back.

Kevin Barker:West Timmins Gold Play Picking Up Steam
I’d like to update one of my Canadian gold picks from recent months, West Timmins Mining Inc, formerly trading on Canada’s Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol WTM. West Timmins is a company I’ve followed from its inception at pennies per share, and I’ve been gratified to see the share price increase to better than $3.00. Much of the gains occurred in the months following my reiterated buy last March when the stock was under a buck. Continue…
Peter Grandich:Three Junior Stocks To Consider For 2010
While I think 2010 can be a far tougher year for equities in general than 2009 was, I still believe on a very selective basis speculators can pick away. Just remember two things when you’re looking at junior resource stocks: The word speculation was created by Wall Street so they didn’t have to use the real word that describes what you will be doing — gambling.
