I have owned HL off and on for some time now. Most pundits don't even crow about HL they like SLW or FR. In FR's case production cost is about 8 bucks vs. a negative cost for HL so go figure. HL:<SECOND QUARTER 2010 HIGHLIGHTS Silver production of 2.6 million ounces Gold production of 17,880 ounces Cash costs of negative $1.82 per ounce of silver after by-product credits in the second quarter of 2010 and cash costs of negative $2.41 per ounce of silver in the first half of 2010 Net income of $13.7 million, or 6 cents per basic share, applicable to common shareholders> FR:< Silver ounces produced 1,538,798 ounces (excluding equivalent ounces of gold and lead) Silver equivalent production 1,656,165 ounces Silver equivalent ounces sold 1,623,844 ounces Total cash costs per ounce $8.20 (U.S.) Direct cash costs per ounce $6.16 (U.S.) Average revenue per ounce sold $18.68 (U.S.) <The company generated net income of $8.9-million in the second quarter of 2010, or earnings per common share (EPS) of 10 cents, compared with a net income in the second quarter of 2009 of $1-million, or EPS of one cent. Net income for the second quarter of 2010 included non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $600,000 and an income tax provision of $1.4-million. In the first quarter of 2010, net income was $3-million, resulting in EPS of three cents. If the revenues and expenses of the new plant were deemed commercial in the first quarter (recorded as income rather than capital), an additional $2.3-million of capitalized profits would have increased EPS in the first quarter to six cents. > Considering location and reserves and costs I will bet on HL in the long haul but FR has done an oustanding job.

And, here we are again... This HL board didn't see a single post from 2006 to 2010... missing the bottom in silver that was put in during Feb 2008, and the slow break down off the peak in 2011... and, now, other than a single random drive by posting, there hasn't been a meaningful post to the list since April of 2011 ? That's coming up on FIVE years ? Wow. Is this post going to be more like the first one in 2006... preceding the 2008 "market bottom" by two years... but still landing closer to the absolute bottom in prices than the later market dynamic, from 2008 - 2011, might suggest ? I've followed HL for years... but, somehow never thought to look for a HL list here until today ?
