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 […]

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 […]

I apologize for the lag between articles. I’ve been scouring the junior landscape in search of a new entry, a new addition for the Highballer shortlist portfolio—a list that currently reads eleven.

Companies on our shortlist in the news – Defense (DEFN.V), HighGold (HIGH.V), and Skeena (SKE.V)
Even though virus-related shutdowns have hindered the pace of mineral exploration in recent weeks—some regions more than others—progress is still being made on multiple fronts. Creating shareholder value is the primary objective of the companies we follow here at Highballerstocks… virus be damned. Three of the companies on our shortlist dropped headlines last week. Two […]

Deep value in the Highballer portfolio – Cartier (ECR), Defense (DEFN.V), and White Gold (WGO.V)
Last week I profiled what I considered one of the better values in the junior exploration arena… Strategic Metals (SMD.V) tees up Mount Hinton for high-grade gold and silver With a number of high quality gold and silver plays beginning to catch a bid in recent sessions, Strategic was an anomaly. An extensive project portfolio, […]

A February 21 Roundup featuring Forum (FMC.V), Goldseek (GSK.C), Patriot (PMET.V) and others
Gold continues consolidating its steep run launched in early November 2022. It recently tested support at $1825 after slipping through its 50-period SMA. Amidst this volatility, news events dictate trade as rattled (twitchy) investors attempt to glean the Fed’s next move. The current weakness in the metal weighs heavy on many of the stocks we […]
