Gold is on a tear, carving out fresh all-time highs as a matter of routine. Short-term (shallow) corrections aside, the metal’s momentum has been impressive, up roughly 27% since the start of the year. Where the equities are concerned, the Bigs appear to be under steady accumulation as per the GDX (chart below). Many 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. But at the risk of coming off as a lone voice in the wilderness, I’m confident we’ll see a meaningful turn in the […]

A mid-May Highballer Roundup featuring Patriot (PMET.V), Prime (PRYM.V), i-80 (IAU.TO), Teuton (TUO.V), Goldseek (GSK.C), Forum (FMC.V), HighGold (HIGH.V), Arizona Metals (AMC.TO) and others
If you’re inclined to wager bets in this high-risk/high-reward arena, I don’t need to tell you how compelling the current set-up is for medium to long-term (high-quality) exploration and development plays. And the potential is not just in gold and silver—it runs the (metals) gamut. It’s fair to say that, as a society, we’ve been […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

Rounding up the 2020 shortlist and Highballer’s Top Three for 2021
If this is your first visit to Highballerstocks—if you’re wondering who or what Highballer is—the About link at the top of the page will help shed some light on the subject.

A rundown of the companies comprising the Highballer shortlist
I decided today was as good a day as any to take stock (scuse the pun) and see how the Highballer portfolio has performed since I began covering our shortlist of ExploreCos earlier this year. I launched Highballerstocks on January 15, 2020, to take advantage of what I believed was the beginning of an epic […]
