Salomon ups industry rating on precious metals NEW YORK, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Salomon Smith Barney on Friday said it was raising its rating on the precious metals sector to outperform from market perform. The company also said it was raising its ratings on Canadian mining companies Placer Dome Inc. (Toronto:PDG.TO - news) (NYSE:PDG - news) and Kinross Gold Corp. to buy from outperform. ''Gold has been an uncharacteristic laggard among the commodities this year, but we are encouraged by high lease rates -- which reduce the likelihood of significant producer hedging and short selling before year-end,'' Salomom said in a press release.

(NYSE:NEM - news), Agnico-Eagle Mines(Toronto:AGE.TO - news), Stillwater Mining Co. (AMEX:SWC - news) and Apex Silver Mines Ltd. (AMEX:SIL - news) ''Sentiment appears to be shifting abruptly in the wake of Tuesday's second UK auction,'' the firm said. ''With gold having climbed by $12 per ounce in the three days following the auction, we are more confident than at any time in the last year that this rally has staying power--at least through year end.'' Placer Dome rose 1/2 to 11-15/16 on the New York Stock Exchange. Kinross was at C$3.75, up 25 Canadian cents on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Saw this on another thread: The Truth About Bashers Lesson 1: Remember, BASHERS NEVER BASH A BAD STOCK. Watch the boards for stocks with no potential. They never have any bashers. Bashers only go after stocks that are going upwards or have excellent potential to go up. Bashers get left behind, so they want to bring the price down to be able to get in at a great price. Lesson 2: BASHERS ALWAYS BRING UP OLD NEWS THAT YOU HAVE HEARD MANY TIMES. New startup companies always have a few bits of bad news. The basher will post this over and over again. The stupid basher will try to make the old news a bit fresher to try to fool you. Lesson 3: BASHERS POST MANY TIMES A DAY. They try to wear you out. They comment on everything, every other post, and can answer every question. THEY KNOW IT ALL! There is no positive comment they won't bash. They try to control the board. True longs may have to address the bashers or they will appear to the newbies as being the people with all the information. Lesson 4: BASHERS WILL LIE TO YOUR FACE. Never trust a basher. The truth on startup companies is that many mistakes are made and losses happen. The basher will try to make you believe all startup companies make a profit, release financials every quarter and all aspects of the business run smoothly. THIS IS NOT TRUE. THE BASHERS LIE TO YOU. Startup companies go years without profits, financials and good business. Lesson 5: The bashers know YOU CAN'T VERIFY THEIR STATEMENTS. That's why they make the statements they do. Lesson 6: The bashers PLAY ON YOUR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. They can lie about information and you couldn't know the difference. Lesson 7: Bashers play on your lack of patience. YOU have held a stock for a while. You knew it will be a big stock someday, but the BASHER CAN GET TO YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE TIRED OF WAITING FOR YOUR GAIN. That's when the basher is best. You are tired. You have forgotten the goal for the stock was to hold it for one year. The basher is bothersome, so you dump it on a bad day. Some others also dump. Then you get mad for your loss and return to let everyone know how mad you are. Then you turn into a basher as well. THE BASHER HAS WON, AND GAINED A NEW PARTNER, TOO. Lesson 8: BRING THE PRICE DOWN. That is the basher's job. The truth is not important. Lies are the norm. Post continuously on the board every day. They are trying to hit the newbies visiting the board. They are trying to wear out the longs on the board. They do whatever it takes to wear the longs out
