It's the ideal tool to help you make quicker, more informed decisions for managing and tracking your investments.

You might be interested:

BUY

A good management team. It is a good, high quality, original mine. They had problems with the shaft and had to shut it down. He sold because he was overweight silver. It is a high quality company. It will recover well with the silver price. It is his favourite of the three.

COMMENT

One of the biggest mining companies with very low cost of production. However, he doesn’t like the management. This company’s target is $3 US. If you are looking for silver exposure and a rebound, it is not a bad choice.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.)

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick July 28/11. Down 41.77%.) Great assets but had a death in one of their mines last year so it is closed for about a year for maintenance and safety precautions. Sold his holdings but will probably revisit in the future.
HOLD
This is a play on silver and zinc. Doesn't see tremendous upside in the name. He is a little less bullish on silver versus gold. Both silver and gold have been suffering because the costs have been escalating as fast as the commodity.
TOP PICK
Silver with all their production in the US. 10 million ounces and trading at about 7X cash flow. Feels that silver is going north of $100 an ounce.
BUY
Silver has finally broken out of a base and it's going to do as well as gold. It's important to stick with majors such as this one or a junior that is on the verge of becoming a major like Silver Standard Resources.
DON'T BUY
Perceived as a silver stock, but is moving more to becoming a gold stock. Being listed on the NYSE is an asset as this is a name US investors will come to for gold. Not cheap. Not as much leverage as other stocks.
BUY
A good company.
