Hi Claude a friend wrote me this in response to my post "I haven't figured out what the difference is between some of those pr guys and con men" " $150K/yr, a pension plan, new car, kickbacks..etc. But con men are fighting for the" same. Yes..you are right there are a few companies in Canada such as a richmont.meridian.possibly silver standard,pan american,but there are so very many landmines.. Also the Canadian government seems to allow these landmines to perpetuate..maybe I am wrong about the government having a laissez faire attitude but I find that the scariest part ..hope you can correct my view..

<<These are the gems you have to look for and these offers unbeatable leverage, several time higher than the SA golds. They are not many, but you will find enough to build a well balanced portfolio between explorers and producers. >> CC, I would have to disagree with your assertion that Canadian Juniors are superior to the South Africans. This is a very bold statement to make, especially when no specifics on current choices or track record are provided. From my own personal experience the financial viability of my Canadian Juniors is being questioned one by one as this bear market in PM's drags on. But so far the survival of ALL my South Africans is NOT in question. If you take into account the companies that have either gone bankrupt or near bankruptcy or diluted the heck out of their shares, you will find the performance of the Canadian Juniors is abysmal. Or are you saying you have discovered a magic formula for picking only the rare juniors who are successful, while avoiding the majority who are losers over time ? I will challenge you to come up with a specific list of juniors that you think as a package will outperform my HGMCY, DROOY and RANGY combination going forward, and we can compare notes in 6 months or 1 years time.
