Buy Yamana Gold (AUY)

Now that’s more like it. When I dropped Kinross Gold (KGC) from my long-term Jubak Picks 50 portfolio https://jubakpicks.com/jubak-picks-50/ on January 13 I said that what I wanted in a gold mining stock was a company with low production costs and rising production....

Update BHP Billiton (BHP)

As tea leaves go, those presented to investors in BHP Billiton’s (BHP) February 16 post-earnings-report conference call could have been a bit clearer. I think the way to decide buy/sell/hold on BHP and on the mining sector as a whole is to look past the very confusing...

Update Vale (VALE)

And the biggest winner from Argentina’s huge natural gas from shale discovery in Patagonia? YPF Sociedad Anonima (YPF) is certainly a winner. The find of 4.5 trillion cubic feet of gas is roughly double the Argentine company’s previous proved natural gas reserves of...

Update Thompson Creek Metals (TC)

It’s not like you you’re going sneak up on an undiscovered bargain in a copper mining stock these days. Copper has been selling near record highs this year on an anticipated shortfall in supply in 2011 and on increased demand from commodity investors. On December 7,...
