uforia98 Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 I think a sensible minimum to start is about C$25,000, spread over 5 shares = = = I think that is more within my budget and something I would be willing ro risk/loose for a potential higher return. Apologies if you this has been mentioned before (or just refer me to a link where this has been discussed before): how and where can I invest into the minors ? would I need to go through a Canadian broker or can I do this via a UK (or US broker) and do you have recommendations. I also have a german broker so need to check if it would be possible with them, I know I can trade worldwide with them but then the question is what are the txn costs per trade... Any guidance welcome. Many thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverharp Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I am just in the process of buying more physical gold, but intend putting a wedge of cash into the juniors over the coming months. A couple of questions for anyone If the major indexes fall by say 20/30% in sep-nov , would the juniors get hit more or less? my guess is more but this would be a great buying opportunity. One argument for physical over the shares is that Asians/Russians/OPEC will only be buying physical gold not North American mining shares. If because of Peak Oil or skill shortages etc mining shares may not perform as well as one might think? any thoughts? Who would you recommend as a reliable newsletter writer to get a list of good picks, Paul van Eden and Jay Taylor come to mind, Any others. I think I know one of Jim Puplavas juniors but would still be reluctant to put all my junior money into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbubb Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 "If the major indexes fall by say 20/30% in sep-nov , would the juniors get hit more or less?" MORE could be right. But it also depends on what happens to Gold. I think of Gold shares as sitting between Gold and shares, so if Gold is up, they may do okay. However, Gold exploration shares are mopre vulnerable, since they need to keep raising money, and will not have the Gold-link income streams that the miners have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frizzers Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I don't have charts to back this up, I am just quoting from someone I heard talking on goldseek. But in previous crashes gold has held up better than gold shares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbubb Posted September 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 It depends on what causes the crash. If it is a fear of inflation and a falling dollar, Gold will do well If Gold shares are between Gold and Shares, you may have a downward influence (sliding shares) and an upward one (rising gold) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbubb Posted September 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 ON SELLING ... “Never, never, never buy just one gold stock, 4 - 6 is a minimum…” Click! And as each mining stock doubles in value sell half and reinvest that half in another recommended speculation. “…many people automatically sell half their holding in a stock that has doubled. From then on, they reason, there is no way they can sustain a loss…” John Dorfman, president of Thunderstorm Capital in Boston. Click! So following this strategy can easily find our initial half a dozen companies becoming 12 companies. And that 12 becoming 24. And the 24 become 48. This is how wealth is built. Do successful and internationally well known professional investors support this practice of selling half a stock when it doubles? Below, Doug Casey talks about the trading philosophy of the founder of the world’s most successful resource and precious metals investment company – Rick Rule. Doug Casey - “One foundation of Rick’s remarkable success is his readiness to sell once he earns a good profit. He’s not tempted to risk everything by holding on for an ever bigger return... that may or may not materialize. In Rick’s view (which we share), if you’re going to err in this business, erring on the side of caution is the least painful mistake you can make.” ///MORE? http://www.kitco.com/ind/vaughn/sep142006.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbubb Posted September 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 TEN SECRETS TO INVESTING IN JUNIOR MINERS & EXPLORERS + A Top Performing sector, but not widely followed - - + Small can be Better, in Exploration Small Exploration companies... - can get the job done cheaper, - they are more nimble and adventurous, - provide more upside, when they make a discovery, ...so can attract top talent Large Mining companies... - have lost many of their best exploration geologists, - have cut budget, or jv-ed with smaller co's - are acquiring smaller companies at the right stage (some names: Virginia Gold ...) - - + First $2 million ... Can be found for New Mining Ventures Costs of going Public: - China: 2-3 years, and over us$1 million - Hong kong: hk$10 million = us$1.25 million - London: pds 400,000 = us$ 700,000 - Canada- venture = maybe c$ 100,000 every dollar counts, at an early stage scandals of the past, have been minimised by new regime. - - + Capital Gains matter not Cash Flow + The Quickest gains is in the Drilling Phase + when it doubles, sell half + Junior Miners are a Geared Play on Gold + there's sizzle in seasonality + placements are structured for profits + a dud project is not the end of the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
