BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR

Of all commentaries that we have ever written, those dealing with ethanol and the subsidies that they enjoy have been our most controversial and have generated the most criticism from readers.  It seems that our anti-ethanol comments in early 2007 were the most criticized.  It is more than a little ironic that this was also one of the several times we warned our readers about the coming rise in food prices…and look what has happened in just fifteen months.

ARE YOU KIDDING US JOHN?

Hello and warm wishes to you this April 21, 2008.

ARE YOU KIDDING US JOHN?

GOLD STOCKS ARE GETTING CHEAPER VERSUS THE METAL ITSELF

GOLD STOCKS ARE GETTING CHEAPER VERSUS THE METAL ITSELF

In recent months, gold stocks have lagged in their performance and have not kept up with the appreciation of gold itself.  As a result, we have been shifting some of our gold investment into shares and away from the metal.

We continue to favor shares with as little derivative exposure as possible.  We have been purchasing those with a royalty model, or those which self finance through share sales.
