Apollo Silver (APGO.V) and Forum Energy Metals (FMC.V) – A Highballer Update
There’s been some rather extreme volatility and negative sentiment at play where global markets are concerned. With sentiment in the gutter and stocks getting hammered across the board, some market analysts believe we’re near a bottom and are trotting out the C Word – Capitulation. I suppose it makes sense in certain respects. But in […]

Updating Apollo Silver (APGO.V) and Patriot Battery Metals (PMET.V)
The volatility rages on across all market sectors (Gold and Silver are off nearly 3% as I edit this piece). With the Fed set to deliver a half-point rate increase after their two-day meeting on the 3rd and 4th, expect that volatility to continue and perhaps ramp up even further. The next five days of […]

Optimum (OPV.V) and Teuton (TUO.V) tag high-grade at Harry Project, Golden Triangle BC – Forum updates progress at Wollaston, Athabasca Basin – some thoughts on market volatility
Volatility dominates the investment landscape as this inflationary spiral appears to have legs. There’s potential for tremendous shock value in the coming weeks as the Fed has taken on a decidedly hawkish stance leading up to its next meeting in May. The Bank of Canada may go even more rogue on rates with as much as […]

A mid-April Highballer update featuring Banyan (BYN.V), Prime (PRYM.V), and a few new names worthy of your due diligence
We’re waiting for a rising sector-wide tide here in junior land, one that’ll lift all boats, especially those we’ve singled out with significant assets on their books. As we examined last week, we see accumulation in the Bigs – the senior producers. If history is our guide, it’s only a matter of time before the […]

Inflation, Gold, and an early spring roundup featuring Goldseek (GSK.C), Teuton (TUO.V), Forum (FMC.V), and Cartier (ECR.V)
Inflation is every investor’s concern right now. It’s on everyone’s radar. Spiraling price pressure doesn’t just represent a loss in purchasing power; it’s a precursor to a lower standard of living (if wages don’t rise commensurate with the spiral). All eyes will be on the CPI numbers set for release this Tuesday (April 12). Analyst estimates […]

A new addition to the Highballer list – Optimum Ventures (OPV.V)
The allure of the discovery cycle… There’s nothing like establishing and holding a position in an early-stage junior exploration company that goes on to tag a significant discovery. It’s akin to picking a winning set of lotto numbers. The allure is especially amplified today in this era of depleted ore reserves and a discovery cycle […]

Commodities push higher in the wake of Putin’s war – updating Goldseek (GSK.C), Forum (FMC.V), Teuton (TUO.V), and Defense (DEFN.V)
Yesterday’s breakout in the precious metal could set the stage for a massive run in the medium to long term as a de-escalation in Putin’s military aggression against his sovereign (peaceful) neighbor appears highly unlikely. If you were to quiz the likes of Pierre Lassonde, this currency of last resort has the potential to run […]
