Ace metals dude, standup guy and site friend Mickey Fulp is in the bigtime media swimming lane nowadays, as shown by his appearance later today on CNBC. In fact, there are two lined up and here are the details:
Thurs Dec 23rd 5:00pm EST Live TV CNBC Fast Money with Melissa Lee.
So today The Mercenary Geologist gets a five minute slot on Fast Money. Then next week....
Mon Dec 27th 6:35-6:50pm EST Live TV CNBC: Asia Squawk Box with Martin Soon.
....Mickey gets 15 minutes to shoot the breeze on metals, a slot that will also air on CNBC World.
So make sure you watch Fulp today and then write in to CNBC to tell them it's nice to have a bit of commonsense about metals on their channel at last. Personally, I just want his autograph......
So Mickey, what you got there? Praseodymium, promethium
or just plain boring kryptonite? c
Mickey Fulp's columns over at Rare Metal Blog are becoming must-reads on the sector. This week's is no exception and gives solid, practical advice on stockpicking for some of the companies in the universe of REE. Go read it youself by clicking this link. And yeah, DYODD dudettes and dudes.
UPDATE: If that link above doesn't work for you, please checkthis post.
Way back when rare metals weren't the hottest dish of the day, Mercenary Geologist Mickey Fulp was singing the praises of this Avalon (AVL.to) stock. Since then we all know what has happened to the REE sector, but we now get to read an update on AVL from the first-footing Fulp. We also get to see just how much money you would have made by following his original advice... and it's a very lot.
So click here to download your PDF report of his updated analysis and thoughts on what might happen to the high-flying AVL.to going forward, dated September 27th and sent out to his FREE reading list on that day. This report is well worth your time, metalheads. By way of a taster, here's how the eight page report starts:
Avalon Rare Metals Inc (AVL.T) is a company that I have covered since June 2007 with a commissioned report on behalf of a private equity fund by my friend and colleague, Rich Radez, well-known for his semi-annual Chicago Resource Expo.
I was invited by Rich to evaluate AVL on a field tour of one of its three “flagship projects”, a hard rock lithium play in northern Ontario. That project did little to garner my interest but another one that CEO Don Bubar discussed in his power point presentation that morning over breakfast certainly grabbed my attention: Thor Lake, an advanced rare earth element play located 100 km southeast of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories.
Since that sunny day on Rainy Lake near Kenora, Ontario, I have followed and written about Avalon both privately and publicly (Mercenary Musings:September 1, 2008; November 3, 2009). This is the fourth in a series of yearly comprehensive reviews on the company. CONTINUES
Mickey Fulp in his role as Lex Luthor in Superman Returns..... no wait...hold on...I'm getting confused here.....
Site friend Mickey Fulp was on BNN this morning. He talked gold, silver the ratio between the two, why everybody should own at least some gold and all things related. He then comes up with a couple of stock picks in the Rare Earths sector, plus there are updates on his previous TeeVee picks (that have done rather well, must be said).
I hope you're already signed up to Mickey Fulp's free (yeah, free) membership subscription service. If you're not, here's the link to go learn all the about the guy and get yourself organized.
Anyway, I wanted to share with you an excerpt from the latest Mercenary Musing that hit my inbox last night. The general subject was on the ownership of gold (something I fully agree with doing and for the very same reasons as Fulp), but this paragraph made me laugh and shout "Correctooo!" at the same time.
"...The Executive comes to Congress screaming “World financial collapse imminent unless we act immediately and decisively.” Congressmen without bothering to read the bill vote for taxpayers to “loan” $170 billion in bailout dollars to AIG. This monopoly money is then created by the Fed with a few strokes of the keyboard. AIG gives $165 million (less than 1/1000 of the new money created) to its executives as retention bonuses. After all, these are indispensable employees in great demand in the world of financial engineering. Who else could they find to perpetrate the chicanery of their toxic credit default swaps and collaterized debt obligations? These derivative instruments were so efficiently disseminated thru out the world that even a municipality in Norway went bankrupt...."
Mickey Fulp's latest Mercenary Musing is now available on Kitco. Here's the link, so if you haven't seen it yet go now. I have seen it already because I'm a member of his free subscription service. Those on the list get to read his musings on Friday evenings and not Monday mornings.
Anyway, it's more good stuff from Fulp (and he's kind enough to link over to IKN...thanks man). My only argument about his excellent article (written to help the smart layperson investor in the world of junior mining) is with his call on polymetallic deposits. In fact I swapped a couple of mails with the Fulp man on the subject Saturday...kinda number-cruncher's view versus rock-cruncher's view. It's always an education for me to see how a highly experienced economic geologist sees things, whether we agree to disagree or not. Friendly dude, too.
So go read his stuff. Well worth the effort and refreshing change from the normal permabull to da moon alice goldbug dross on kitco.
Get yourself over toMickey Fulp's website, join his free subscription newsletter and read his latest Mercenary Musing. This is top quality advice and information about investing in junior exploration miners and required reading no matter if you just dabble in the sector. Saying that, even experienced investors will come away knowing more from this week's episode.
I don't get paid in any way, shape or form for promoting Mickey Fulp's site, this is just a straight reco call from me to you. So do what I do and take advantage of Fulp's geological brain and his knack of conveying a technical profession in layman's terms. I'm on his subs list and I've read this week's edition three times already, it's that good.
The name of the new recommended site is "The Mercenary Geologist", and it is required reading for anyone invested or interested in mining, and particularly junior exploration miners.
I've personally subscribed to his site in the last few days, and what's more it's totally free to join. I've also been in contact with Mickey Fulp, and to give you people a taster of what's on offer over there, he's given me permission to re-print the first section of a great article he published late last month concerning the often misunderstood differences between mineral resources, reserves, ores and suchlike. Have a read, and I hope it interests you enough to go over and sign up to his list. It really is free, and there's no better bargain than that. Enjoy. (By the way, I get zero kickback, commission or anything for recommending this site. The only thing happening here is sharing knowledge...I like what I've seen and I hope you benefit, too)
As a classically-trained economic geologist, I was introduced to the definition of “Ore” and “Ore Deposit” during the first minute of my first course in graduate school at the University of New Mexico.
In the early afternoon of a late summer day in 1975, Dr. Wolfgang Elston walked into my Economic Geology 401 class, introduced himself, and asked us to open the chosen textbook, Ore Deposits by Park and MacDiarmid, second edition, to page one and read the following: “Ores are rocks and minerals that can be recovered at a profit.”
At a profit.
So now let’s expand the basic concept and definition to an “Ore Deposit: A mass of rock or mineral that can be developed, mined, processed, and delivered to the marketplace or technology at a profit.”
At a profit.
These two simple definitions have been the fundamental concept anchoring my continuing education and experience since I first set boot in the field as an explorer and prospector in the summer of 1976. The idea is so ingrained in my brain that I need reminding that the overwhelming majority of investors in the mining and exploration sector have absolutely no clue what an Ore Deposit actually is.
Another reminder of this serious lack of insight and understanding occurred a few weeks ago. In a public conversation, I heard meaningless statements such as: “(Unnamed company) has proven up a 1.5 million ounce resource”; “millions of ounces of gold have been taken out of the district and (unnamed company) is about ready to mine it again.”
What was that again? Resources…proven…about ready to mine??
Ai, Chihuahua! I was flabbergasted by these wildly promotional statements and will explain below.
