In early October, there was evidence that an important bottom was forming in the precious metals arena. The following excerpts are from a (timely) article I put up on the Equity Guru website on October 4th—Unabated selling, dry powder, the upside of buying when you’re the only bidder in the room… (click on the following […]

A Highballer roundup featuring Forum (FMC.V), HighGold (HIGH.V), Prime (PRYM.V), Skyharbour (SYH.V), Sokoman (SIC.V), and Defense (DEFN.V)
As the reality that inflation is not as “transitory” as the Fed would have us believe kicks in—though chairman Powell now concedes that it will likely be more “persistent” than previously thought—some are calling for violence in the gold arena. An October 22nd Bloomberg headline… Gold’s Inflation-Haven Appeal Means ‘Violent’ Run-Up May Be Ahead We’ve […]
A Highballer roundup featuring Banyan (BYN.V), HighGold (HIGH.V), Prime (PRYM.V), Defense (DEFN.V), Forum (FMC.V), and Skyharbour (SYH.V)—and a hurried heads-up on Sokoman (SIC.V)
We’re a few hours away from the conclusion of a two-day Fed meeting. Better than expected retail sales last week (the retail sector currently accounts for two-thirds of the GDP in the U.S.) might’ve turned the Fed hawkish. We’ll find out when Chairman Powell steps up to the mic. Talk of tapering its $120 billion-a-month […]
Inflation, Gold, Copper – Forum (FMC.V), Defense (DEFN.V) and Prime (PRYM.V) – Part 1
Recent trade in gold is showing some real conviction having taken out key resistance at $1750, a level that has held prices in check for the past month and a half. After forming a Double Bottom at key support in mid to late March, the low may be in for what some call “eight agonizing […]

Gold was dealt What For last week, taking out major support, trading at levels not seen in over eight months. The culprit of this recent carnage was a major sell-off in bonds pushing the yield on the US 10-year note to 1.5% (yields were a mere 0.5% only six months back). Though current yields represent […]
A Highballer roundup – Forum (FMC.V), Defense (DEFN.V), Harfang (HAR.V), Highgold (HIGH.V), Skeena (SKE.T) and Pure Gold (PGM.V)
The launch of Highballer back in early 2020 sprung from the belief that we’re in the early stages of a bull market in precious metals, base metals, battery metals, and all things mining—a bull run that will prove epic in scale. I’ve seen this movie before. It has a riveting plot. Bolstering that belief, central […]
Companies on our shortlist pushing their flagships further along the curve – Defense (DEFN.V), Harfang (HAR.V), Minnova (MCI.V), Prime (PRYM.V) Skeena (SKE.T), and Strategic (SMD.V)
It seems we’ve entered yet another rout in the metals and mining stocks with several of the companies we follow closely getting sold off, testing their recent lows. It’s frustrating. One would think that with events over the past two weeks, gold would be ripping higher, tagging all-time historical highs. There’s been a lot of […]
Companies on the Highballer shortlist pushing forward as the metal consolidates – Banyan (BYN.V), HighGold (HIGH.V), Cartier (ECR.V), Harfang (HAR.V), and Defense (DEFN.V)
Everything in the junior exploration arena, with few exceptions, has taken it on the chin in recent weeks. High-quality gold and silver stocks have been tossed with little regard for their underlying fundamental value. To paraphrase my thinking in a recent Equity Guru article… If your convictions regarding the precious metals are weak, you’ve likely […]
