It is good to be defensive about advice on the net. What you do with the advice is up to you, obviously. Any half-serious investor would not buy a stock based on a simple recommendation, and do his or her own homework. Same goes for implied risk and asset allocation. But fact is that most people don't. I do not know the motive for this site. What i can see is that the recommendations they give are well researched and based on solid facts. You might not agree with their recommendations, and I certainly don't agree with some of them, but at least the site offers interesting ideas for one to ponder and develop. One might know how to evaluate a company, but one does not always know which companies to evaluate. That's where these ideas come in. And speaking of stockgroup, 3 of their past speculative ideas(non-mining), namely Mindflight(now RDM), Smartire and Silent Witness were all small high-tech firms that have skyrocketed since. Not all of their picks have performed that well, but it is up to the individual to do his or her homework on these stocks. Secondly, comparing stockgroup to www.equityanalysis.com is like comparing apples to oranges. i doubt that you have even bothered to visit www.equityanalysis.com it is certainly not pushing penny stocks; most of their recommendations are blue-chips, which sets it apart from the "boiler room" sites which are dedicated to pushing vse and otc stocks. Given that we are on a natural resource thread, you might be inured to such sites, and have probably adopted an instinctively cynical attitude towards them. I strongly suggest you visit the site and substantiate your superficial claims with solid evidence, instead of just labeling everything with the cynical brush of a hardened resource investor who has been impoverished by Asia while everyone else is making record profits.

RH, Was looking for a way to get some information updated. Back in 75-76, I remember reading in Geology that there was very little silver in Russia, that most "pure play" silver deposits were in the Americas. It had said something about all their silver existed as a contaminant in gold reserves or far north of arctic circle. Is this still true, or have there been additional silver deposits found in Russia? Is it possible many people did not know this and silver was only taken down with gold? Or have sub-zero mining technologies just improved and gotten cheaper? I'm betting that the mining analyst community is so beat up now, no one even know or listens to those that do. rh

Warning Martin A is starting to spread rumors.....is he now resorting to dirty tricks? From Gold Eagle Forum today: "(AG-Man)Oct 09, 23:47 I have been conversing with Martin Armstrong at PEI about silver. He raised some interesting points which I wonder if others can verify. Firstly, that the regulators in the UK are planning to introduce forward silver contracts on the LME later this year (and forcing all the UK silver depositories to report their stocks, which MA believes are huge). Secondly, that there are 500 mill ozs of silver parked at Zurich airport in a warehouse, owned by some arabs (for a long time, I assume). Appreciate anyone's thoughts\comment on this." Any thought on how to respond? The battle is starting to heat up! THC
