A Banquet for Bottom Feeders

A Banquet for Bottom Feeders

Resource exploration stocks are notoriously volatile. Fear and greed play out in this sector like few others. Stocks tend to go irrationally high and stupidly low. And therein lies the opportunity.

So, let’s look at techniques you can utilize to speculate in the resource exploration sector to  make unfathomable profits. Read the full story

M & A: Resource Style

M & A: Resource Style

I’m no math wizard but I know enough to not buy state sponsored lottery tickets. Your odds are much better when you buy your tickets via the natural resource sector where you can stack the deck in your favor and make life changing money.

Small cap resource stocks have been absolutely trashed over the last 12 months. Many companies are running out of cash as well as credit and some are closing their doors. It’s Darwinism at its’ finest. The strongest companies, those with world-class management, strong balance sheets, and access to capital will survive and prosper. Those with little cash on hand, shaky prospects, and inexperienced management will disappear.  And now is the time to take positions in the most promising leaders who are positioned to directly benefit from the ongoing financial chaos.

A merger and acquisition mania is now underway. Take a quick look at some recent announcements:

  • Canadian Gold Hunter (CGH:Toronto) is taking over Sanu Gold (SNU:Toronto).
  • ATW Gold (ATW:Toronto) is merging with Kinbauri Gold (KNB:Toronto).
  • New Gold (NGD:US) is combining their business with Western Goldfields (WGW:AMEX).
  • IMA Exploration (IMR:AMEX), Kobex Resources (KBX:Toronto) and International Barytex (IBX:Toronto) are working on a merger.
  • Linear Gold (LRR:Toronto) recently acquired GLR Resources (GLR:Toronto) Goldfields Project.
  • Geoinformatics Exploration (GXL:toronto) is acquiring Rimfire Minerals (RFM:Toronto).

This is just for starters. The primary point I’m making is that M & A activity is on a massive upswing. This is rapidly changing the complexion of the sector and creating fabulous opportunities for investors.

This environment is ideal for selecting and riding the best run companies as the precious metal bull market continues to unfold. The companies leading the charge in this consolidation will emerge from this process stronger than ever. There are numerous advantages for shareholders:

  • A superior management team typically results.
  • Synergies are created.
  • Overhead costs are lowered.
  • The portfolio of properties and projects are increased which improves company diversification.
  • More dollars are allocated for the most promising exploration targets.
  • Larger companies attract the buying power of heavyweight financial institutions.

“Super Juniors” are being created. Companies with cash are marrying companies with exceptional projects in need of funding for advancement. Producers are gaining access to more reserves. Key technologies are being shared. These are clearly win-win situations.

We have long been acquiring the companies acting as resource consolidators in my Resource Windfall Speculator advisory. They are snapping up distressed bargains across the globe. Cash and connections are tough to beat these days.

Yes, size does matter. So does staying power. Personal fortunes will be made by savvy investors who now hitch their wagons to the talented and aggressive management teams constructing companies that will grow and dominate in the coming years and decades.

There is nothing quite like owning an un-expiring lottery ticket!

Invest Resourcefully,

You say You Want a Revolution?

You say You Want a Revolution?

Americans should have been in the streets to reclaim the country long ago. Patrick Henry and his fellow patriots are turning over in their graves about the present day USA. The savvy folks I talk to on a regular basis are exceedingly pessimistic that our blessed republic can pull out of this present financial, economic and political tailspin. The US as we have known it is on the ropes.

Our third President and signer of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson, long ago stated …”Banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies”.

He also declared …“If Americans ever allow banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless.”

Hello.

A second American Revolution is now at least as necessary as the first one was though few citizens have an overall understanding of the problems we face. Anything short of a complete house cleaning will be mostly a waste of time and effort. The elitist banking entities running and ruining this country must be shown the highway. Nothing less will suffice!

Who exactly am I talking about? The Federal Reserve is exhibit one. Their partners in financial crime like Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, et al absolutely must be excised like the cancer they are.

“Tea Parties” are once again on the horizon. Lots of citizens are awakening and protesting. How keen is their focus going to be?

Those that put the preponderance of blame on President Obama, ex-President Bush, the Liberals, the Conservatives, the Trial lawyers, the unions or any other distraction will never accomplish anything worthwhile. The rot is deep, systemic and centered on money and the banking system.

Those that demonize Republicans and worship Democrats, or vice versa, have been suckered into a divide and conquer plan. My expectation is to never again vote for a Republican or a Democrat in their present form. The Demopublicans must go.

The Fed is a serial bubble blower. Their funny money products initially line the pockets of their cronies closest to the trough. From there it is directed towards distorting prices in stocks, real estate or the latest manipulated craze. Economies without foundation inevitably collapse. Our central planners need to take an indefinite overseas vacation.

America’s biggest exports over the last decade have been toxic and fraudulent financial products. The creators of this crap are the ones who have brought us to the present disaster – yet they remain in charge of sweeping changes designed to perpetuate their power and imprison us.

All of these Wall Street entities and the lackey politicians who support them must hit the road. Those behind the scenes pulling the strings have to be stripped of their illicit power.

Surely you heard about Goldman Sachs’ record second-quarter earnings of $3.44 billion? Making money hand over fist comes fairly easy when you get to implement official policy. Records follow when front running is the name of the game. They may get their bonuses now but ours will be even larger when tar and feathers once again hold sway.

Congressman Ron Paul has sponsored a bill to audit and put congressional oversight on the Federal Reserve. 261 representatives have so far signed on to this meaningful element of true change. A similar Senate bill is just getting started. Knowledgeable citizens seriously doubt the Fed could withstand an audit because of its shady dealings. This is one bill that holds some promise.

The huge majority of US citizens are really peeved, justifiably so. That anger will certainly play out in the coming months and years. The tea parties could even spill into the streets. You can rest well assured that nothing will be accomplished without a purposeful and focused anger.

Concerned Americans have a critical choice. We can rid the system of all the parasites and malignancies or just stay home and continue to get our reality through television.

You know by now I’m also going to advise you to protect yourself and those you care about. The monetary metals, gold and silver, sniff out economic, financial and monetary chaos. They’ve had a massive snort lately and more is coming. These precious metals have appreciated nicely almost every year of this decade for good reason. They should still be purchased and the speculators amongst you may consider my Resource Windfall Speculator for leveraged gains in the resource sector.

Live Free and Resourcefully,

Rusty

It’s the Debt, Stupid!

It’s the Debt, Stupid!

The Georgia coast is a hidden treasure. There are beautiful beaches, secluded islands and marshes teeming with fish, fowl and even alligators. I’ve recently returned from celebrating Independence Day with a dental school classmate of mine who has a relatively modest and affordable home on St. Simons. His place is right on a small river overlooking a gorgeous marsh. Read the full story
