Richard, I almost don't know where to start.
Nobody is consciously trashing metals just so that people will buy other specific things. Rather, it's a question of limited financial resources. If I have $100 to invest, I have to invest that where I best see fit. While the #'s are different for everybody, the same principle holds across the board. But CNBC, et al, is not going on the air saying, "Khris, psst, don't buy Couer d'Alene, rather buy Washington Federal Savings." Maybe you hear such voices, but I don't.
If CNBC is not giving the coverage to the metals that you deem to your liking, it could be due to the fact that they have gauged their viewers' interests, and decided that the audience for such coverage is relatively limited.
There are other media sources for metals and mining. Several newsletters cover this sector. But to be honest, just my opionion, I don't think the most of us view metals and mining co.'s as being part of our investment plans. Sorry. |
