Tribal warfare kills at least 20 near Porgera mine in PNG, estimates UN
The mine was briefly forced to cease operations as the fighting intensified, according to media reports.
As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information
Central banks money printing is out of control. The constant printing of all the world’s currencies is just another way for countries to default on their debt – the repayment of a creditor occurs using a currency whose purchasing power has been reduced. Gold’s price will continue, has to continue, too rise in value against all depreciating paper currencies
For equity investors and speculators alike history shows us, time and again, the greatest leverage to gold’s rising price is owning gold exploration/development junior mining stocks. Will mainstream investors eventually catch on to the fact they need to own gold and to own gold shares?
The Dow on Gold’s terms:
This author believes that the first part – investors are catching on to the fact they need to own precious metals – is already happening and that part two, the buying of shares in companies involved in the search for and development of gold projects will not be too far behind.
Use Summer Doldrums to get Ahead of the Herd
During the summer months investment demand for junior precious metal company’s tends to be lethargic with volumes not picking up till post Labour Day – this slowdown happens most every year, it’s just traditionally a slow period of time hence the old saw “Sell in May and Go Away.” And this year has been no exception – junior precious metal shares weakened in the spring/summer. But if TSX.V volumes and precious metal equity prices follow the traditional path they will strengthen again in the fall.
And as long as gold’s secular bull remains intact – remember gold outperforms most other asset classes in both a deflationary or an inflationary environment – then precious metal stocks will have their day in the sun.
History shows, time and again, that August can provide an excellent buying opportunity for precious metal juniors, especially when, like now:
Conclusion
Declining confidence in government, markets and paper money is pushing gold toward a front and center mainstream media position.
“The gold story has been around for millennia, but is now attracting investment for thoroughly modern reasons. This month, we advance the thesis that none of the three major tradable currencies will regain its role as a prized store of value. Gold is moving from the shadows, where economists and politicians had consigned it, to center stage.” Don Coxe, founder Coxe Advisors
Junior gold/silver companies reporting good to great results regarding project acquisitions, sampling results, drill assays and having experienced management with tightly held, low, outstanding share counts should do well for their investors.
In my opinion now might very well be the perfect time to start accumulating select PM stocks – and this author has been a recent purchaser. At the very least junior precious metal company’s should be on every investor’s radar screen.
Are they on yours?
