Charters Read Replies (1) | Respond to of 78413 PG is fairly predictive if you stick to broad topics, like the POG or the economic direction. Where he does not shine at all times is his dilly on stock a or b. He seems to talk about lacklustre performers instead future star bottom feeders. I have however noticed and noted the odd stock he has talked about like Solex etc.. although I did not praise them to the skies so much as say their geo potential had a fair chance. (The stock itself is nowhere near as good as its geology or even its personnel, f'rinstance.) Fair geology a play does not always make. PFG's unusual Palladium deposit in River Valley near Virgin Stalls, Ontario is wildly interesting geologically, most ground breaking in potential, and entirely different from any other sort of Sudbury basin stuff. It should be spawning a veritable maggot colony of imitators to be abuzz on the exploration scene given time. No other class of metal is in such potential short supply on the world stage. Yet the reality price wise and action wise is far different. t-t-t-t-timing is all. Entirely absent, it seems, from his portfolio are really succulent area and discovery plays like Sacre Coeur, Everton, Beaufield, Guyana Goldfields, the whole Opinaca area, and of course the long-ignored-for-political-reasons copper-gold field, Ecuador. I would forgive him for plumping forth on the uncertain politics of Peru. I forgive few people for overlooking Chile or the Opinaca on this thread. B.C. is a fore-given in that it was devastated by a political nuee ardente or ash-hole-flow in ancient times, and its will to resourcefulness fixated, Pompei-like, dying a terrible death. EC<:-}
