    Mining Stocks

    I have some stock-buying money free and am thinking about mining companies. Does anyone have recommendations for me?

    Thanks!

    For a solar play that I currently own, NENE looks like it still has some great upside potential. It is a very speculative stock but it has shown some phenominal strength recently...

    Do your reasearch on this one for sure, but as of now I only regret that I did not buy more of this one initially....

    Yeah, there is a good possibility that you would be buying at a relative peak...

    Of my miners, none are listed in that index! I'm doing exceptional. All small cap silver miners, a couple gold miners like Australia.

    Ramelious Resources ASX: RMS RMLRF
    Eagle Plains CVE:EPL USA: EGPLF
    Impact Silver CVE:IPT USA: ISVLF
    Aurcana CVE:AUN AUNFF

    I have about 5 simliar. I'd call them the 2nd string maybe, maybe sometimes one on 2nd string the most exciting. I am buying 5000 # shares a day in it. It's involved in the Pacific.

    Check out Ramelious, highest grade producing mine in Australia yet when I found it it had a sub 200 million market cap! It now pays a big dividend and is barely over $1 a share. MGMT is awesome. And look who I found trying to slip in the back door of this one:

    You probably already knew this, but penny stocks and junior miners are highly volatile. Up 100% one day, down 50% the next (which puts you back at even).

    If you cannot read mining drill results, or value a company yourself based on resource estimates, I would highly recommend staying far AWAY from junior explorers and developers. You could still do okay with some of the mid-tier producers, who actually have income, and readable balance sheets.

    The junior game is one that takes years to understand properly. I can honestly say that I have read thousands of news releases from junior companies. After a while it becomes easy to pick out the 10% that have a chance of becoming a mine. But it is still difficult to find the 2% that actually do. It certainly helps being in Vancouver, where most of them are based and where it is easy to approach management and ask questions to get a feel for their competence.

    Ramelious looks interesting. What is your outlook on this one?

    I bought some Gold Wheaton today.

    At this point in time i would stay away from exployers , buy only a producing miner , NG may be a exception as a buy out. Also do not buy a mining stock that trades less than about 400,000 shares a day . If you ever have to get out you could take a beating as the bid-ask spread could really hurt you.

    Most mutual funds do not buy stock that are trading less than $5/share. There are hundards of exployer companies of which many have a good story but no money, mostly pump and dump . They are always issuing more stock to fiance their operation and pay.

    It cost 10's of millions of dollars to start a producing mine. A company would have to issue 30-50 million more shares to just get started producing.


    Buying $500 of 5 different penny stock can be fun but so is betting on 6-6 on the crap table.

    Two small miners i own and like . CXZ and USSIF also the best is PAL .
