Short-term (shallow) corrections aside, the metal’s momentum has been impressive, up roughly 27% since the start of the year.

A Highballer Report for July 2, 2024 featuring Forum Energy Metals (FMC.V)
In case you’re wondering, I’m still here (rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated). Life has presented numerous challenges over the past few months, but I’m still standing. You should see more content directed your way from this corner over the balance of 2024. I suspect the junior exploration arena is about to come […]

An Early April Update featuring Forum Energy Metals (FMC.V) and a list of companies I follow
With indications that we’re in the early stages of a bull run in junior mining equities, now that the precious metal is carving out new high ground, it’s a good time to bring Highballer up to date.

A Junior Sector Roundup plus an update on Forum Energy Metals (FMC.V)

A Highballer Roundup for December 6 featuring a host of names – familiar and new
I’ll dispense with my usual preamble blather, cept to say… Gold stocks, as per the GDX, are up roughly 30% from their 2022 lows. Gold stocks are stronger than all other major indexes. The GDXJ is up closer to 40% from its 2022 low. My point: this recent breakout could mark the initial stages of […]

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 […]

A Highballer update for August 2, 2022 – Is It Go Time?
The last few weeks have been hectic. In the wake of last week’s .75% rate hike, gold formed a higher low on the charts. But will it stick? If the Fed’s bullying tactics towards the inflationary spiral have run their course—if they’ve exacted enough shock value via these high-handed three-quarter-point rate hikes—it could be game […]
