Bruce, . Eventhought i'am not qualified to comment based on my near total lack of anything related to good mining, and especially the companies whom have trading shares on exchanges, i would like to ask a few questions. . Is the Northern Miner a web site, of which i am sure it is, could you mention its history if it existed in print only before the pc & internet allowed what we have today. . i could ask if its a "free" site like Bob's that obtains revenue from selling ads, or is it a pay to join site. This issue to me is quite ridiculous as some like onelong richard seems to demand full disclosure from those that mention any trading activity as information for others to obtain and use for their own trading. To me everyone here has agenda to maximize their profits, and will use whatever means they deem in line with whatever values they hold as "the good" for themselves, which does sometimes carry over into a religion type stand that they have the correct values, and others need to convert or acknowledge that they are sinners and dishonest etc etc. . re: publish the 2003 recommendations of 5 junior mining stock <<analysts>>, namely Kaiser, Poirier, Bishop, Mustard and Roulston. But they are missing the best! [Claude Cormier] . Is Bishop the Jim Bishop of TGL here and on eyeHub ? . What about Russ Winter and gold_tutor (o49r) and others like 4Figureau and Jim Steel and Bob Johnson and many more that i'am clueless on since i don't trade and only glance these threads looking for mention of my pennies. . To me Russ Winter's picks would be more useful than those of Claude Cormier being restricted by this for sale newsletter in the sence that Russ's are more "real time" as he will play these everyday based on immediate information, versus those picks by a for pay newsletter person looking into the future and idsclosing the names after his or her subscribers get them. . Guess i'am saying that the mentioned re: publish the 2003 recommendations of 5 junior mining stock has little value except for those that want a very long term hold as in years without any concern for trading in and out, like a father might gather into a child's nest to help with college costs while the son or daughter is still in grade school (aka) GE, IBM types. . Maybe i'am saying that "But they are missing the best!" is correct when directed for a pay to obtain real time picks using Claude Cormier's newsletters, but the "becomes part of this panel next year." i see as an empty honor to obtain. . Since this post of mine here has taken a nasty flavor, and i didn't mean it to, please let me suggest something that is more in line with my attitude here, in that start a thread here on Si that will follow the Northern Miner re: publish the 2003 recommendations of 5 junior mining stock <<analysts>>, namely Kaiser, Poirier, Bishop, Mustard and Roulston. and when that list is published ask everyone on Russ's and 4Figureau's thread to name their own picks in a type of a contest without a prize except bragging rights.
