I think we all know that "The Midas Fund" has IPM in it's portfolio. Today's St.Louis Post-Dispatch has a big end-of-quarter Fund Performance table. It shows the Midas Fund it down 51% for the past year. The charts show it has bottomed now and is moving back up.

Richard: Your point is well taken. I would agree that the Majors will appreciate first, and then the juniors. One closed-end fund that holds primarily juniors is BGR. Its a little hard for U.S. investors to track it, but I remember that very recently it was trading at a 10-15 % discount from net asset value. I can post the symbol if anyone is interested, but it trades on Toronto. Regards Dan

A suggestion for an exploration Mutual Fund: It is based in Vancouver and is managed by Cannacord . I believe the manager's name is Chad Buckland. It is called the Multiple Opportunity Fund ( MOF) . It has over time one of the highest returns of any mutual fund in Canada. A great time to buy into it is in November and get out in May or so. ( In a decent market.)
