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 […]

A Junior Sector Roundup plus an update on Forum Energy Metals (FMC.V)
The bear market in junior (exploration) equities has become so entrenched, so protracted that many are questioning whether we’ll ever see a return to normal valuations, let alone a raging bull market.

A February 21 Roundup featuring Forum (FMC.V), Goldseek (GSK.C), Patriot (PMET.V) and others

A Feb. 6 Highballer Roundup featuring Patriot (PMET), Apollo (APGO), Teuton (TUO), and Forum (FMC)

And there might be enough gravitation pull to yank the metal back into the $1825 […]

A Nov. 8 Highballer report updating the companies on our list PLUS a few new names that may represent good value at this juncture
Just as Gold appeared to be in the process of breaking major support last week, it staged a dramatic reversal after tagging a fresh 52-week low. On the weekly chart, it staged an outside reversal (taking out the previous week’s low and closing above the previous week’s high). Interesting price action. As has been the […]
