Mining’s old guard needs strong medicine
A new report details subpar investor returns in the mining industry over the last decade, particularly big cap diversified companies which have not adapted to new realities.
The argument over whether it is better to hold mining shares or real assets has now been dramatized and animated.
BrotherJohnF uploaded Mining Shares – Exposed – Office Series 15 on YouTube last month.
Gwen gets a dressing down at a New Year’s Party when she tells Peter she is looking for investment options beyond holding physical silver:
Gwen: “Actually, I am glad we ran into each other because I am thinking of investing differently next year.”
Peter: “Really, how’s that?”
Gwen: “Well, this friend of mine convinced me with silver prices so low it is a good time to jump into mining stocks. So this year I will putting all money into them instead of stacking physical silver.”
Peter: “Mining stocks? Gwen, have you ever heard of the term ‘epic fail’?”

there is a great difference between holding mining companies shares and physical metal assets for any reason the price of metals goes down u still can sell the metal in the market without any problems but selling shares is not really easy because when there is sell of in market there are more sellers then actual buyers in the market

The metals will always have an edge over stock if you ask me. The metal carries only the market risk. The stock of a metal carries not only the market risk of the metal but also the specific risk of the owner-company.
