STF, Thanks for your perspective and clarity on fundamentals vs. non fundamentals, especially about undervalued companies staying that way for a LONG time. Regarding having your portfolio hit, I think most investors in precious and base metals had a rough year, but hopefully that will change now!? Cheers, DT

You are right: an undervalued company is not necessarily a good buy, because it can remain undervalued for a long long time. Nevertheless, sometimes the promise in buying a dormant undervalued stock pays off, spectacularly. Check a long-term chart for SWG.T. It sat around $2.00 for the longest time while knowledgeable analysts like Claude Cormier kept pounding the table about how undervalued it was. When it finally moved, it shot up like a canon, going from $2 to $17 in a couple of months, if I remember correctly.
