Gold Stocks: Stick with Juniors and Avoid Large Caps

By Jordan Roy-Byrne, CMT

In covering the gold sector for my premium subscribers, I have noticed something lately. The large-caps really suck! Ok, that is harsh but it is the truth. In the chart below I show large-cap indices. What do you see? Read more…

Timmins Gold Up 116%!

January 11th, 2011 No comments

Congratulations to all Timmins Gold investors. I had recommended Timmins Gold on February 7th, 2010 in my Timmins Gold Trading Card when its share price was only $1.13. This Canadian junior mining company is one of the lowest cost gold producers around and is currently ramping up to full production. Today Timmins closed at $2.44, an 116% increase since my recommendation! Not a bad a return… but hold on there is still more to come. Read more…

Timmins Determined To Get Capital Gold?

October 13th, 2010 No comments

As you know, Timmins Gold recently went public with their various attempts to merge with Capital Gold. After repeatedly getting the cold shoulder from Capital Gold on their proposals, Timmins decided to bring the matter public and more importantly to the attention of Capital Gold share holders. It turns out that Capital Gold’s management was giving Timmins the cold shoulder because they were apparently already in bed with Gammon Gold which later made an offer that was accepted by Capital Gold’s management. It would seem that we have come to the end of this chapter, but really we’ve only just turned the page….. Read more…

Petaquilla Closes Deutsche Bank Refinancing!

September 23rd, 2010 No comments

At last, Petaquilla Minerals has closed the DB refinancing deal. This has been a very long process that has tested the patience of many long-term share holders. This is obviously a huge vote of confidence in a small junior mining company down in Panama. I expect this closing to help legitimize PTQ’s operations in the eyes of potential investors still sitting on the fence. Read more…

Metanor, WTF??????

September 22nd, 2010 No comments

Yesterday, Metanor Resources [MTO, MEAOF] provided a news release on their much anticipated NI 43-101 report. Shortly after it was released, Metanor shares were literally pushed over a cliff. The share price fell almost 30%, thus giving many long term share holders a very nice hair cut and wondering WTF! Metanor’s VP Ron Perry in the news release below claims he does not understand why the market reacted so poorly to the NI 43-101 data. So in this post Ron, I would like to provide a few clues as to why share holders and the market is saying, “WTF.” There seems to be widespread disappointment with the results of the results of 43-101 and the market’s reaction to it.

All Eyes on Metanor’s Barry Resource Update

September 20th, 2010 No comments

Tomorrow, Tuesday 9-21-2010 Metanor is going to make known results of the Barry NI-43-101 resource update. The stock price could move substantially depending on how many ounces are there. It could be an exciting ride for Metanor share holders. I don’t know how many ounces will be announced but, I hope its at least 1 million plus. For more background on this Canadian junior mining stock, please see my Metanor Resources Trading Card.

August 31st, 2010 No comments

By Jordan Roy-Byrne, CMT

The various large-cap gold stock indices are readying for a major breakout. As we’ve noted, this isn’t just a breakout through 2008 highs but a breakout through highs dating back to 1980. Yes, there are some gold stock indices like the Barron’s Gold Mining Index and others, which show a 30-year base dating back to 1980. This will be a historic breakout for the gold stocks. Read more…
