Hi Keith.
I live in oil and gas country (Alberta) and basically lucked out on a couple of my picks. As well, I have an interest in alternative fuels and resources so when I discovered ERB and BPR were drilling for coalbed methane gas, I decided to investigate. I made some phone calls, asked for written info and basically did a lot of DD.
As for HHL.A, I have a friend who brought them to my attention. Again, it was DD that made me decide to pick that one.(Always phone the company)
I'll be honest. I don't own any of them except ERB. I've been playing the mining stocks for the past couple of years instead and lost a ton of money so I wish I'd done my homework sooner and bought my five winners. I'd be in good shape now if I had!
Bottom line is DD. I know everybody keeps harping on it, but listening to newsletters and hype on the net won't always help you get ahead. Only you can do that by making the phone calls and reading the reports and searching the net. It's that simple!
B.
