The Stocks Thread

[AGgressive Metal]

Since equities are anathema to some realcenters, I thought I try to herd it all into one thread. But some people are heavily invested in stocks, where others are not but are still active observers of the market. I fall into the latter category - I have less than an ounce of gold in the US stock market, but I love following it and phantom trading with my online account (putting stocks in my watch list as if it were a portfolio and watching the prices).

My favorites are energy stocks (nat gas, coal, oil), tobacco, railroads, AT&T, emerging markets funds, gold and silver miners, and select industry stocks like Honda.

best stock pick right now is silver standard. they are an emerging producer of silver. they have a claim next to seabridge's KSM that is mostly gold and copper. Seabridge has a nice valuation but hte market is largely ignoring SSRI's brucejack and snowfield claims. one of the reason is SA is 2+ years ahead of SSRI in drilling it out and determining what metal is in the ground. its looking like SSRI may have a richer claim than even Seabridge, and they are still finding more.

Anyone that bought into Arian Silver, when I was talking about it quite some time ago, congrats, they have now announced production and are up over 40% today.

If anyone looking for a penny stock play, I have been buying GPXM over the last week, they have put a bottom in, gone thru debt restructuring, initiated a stock and warrant buy back program, and has changed their business model to one like SLW and Sandstorm resources.

Of course DYODD on this as pennys are very volitile.
