Platinum is a Buy — but What’s the Best Way to Invest?
Platinum has, like every metal, been in the wars.
But the travails of platinum mining companies have been even greater.
Rising costs; mines that have become cash-drains; lay-offs and labour disputes leading to violence; and, in one case, an ill-advised purchase of a copper company at the top of the market.
In short, they’re in a bad way.
But is this reflected in the price? Is it time to put on our contrarian’s hat and go looking to buy into the sector again?
Let’s have a look… [Read more →]

Dear member,
Pacific Potash (PP:TSXV), like many juniors, has seen its share price battered over the past two years. Take a look at the company’s two year stock chart below.
Does the chart look familiar? Pacific Potash’s stock chart probably looks very similar to a junior explorer, or two, sitting in many portfolios. However, there may be a few significant differences between Pacific Potash and many other junior resource plays.
While many junior exploration companies are in a tough financial position (in February a reported 600+ junior resource companies had less than $200,000 in the bank), our new Client and Featured Company, Pacific Potash (PP:TSXV), just completed a $2.25 million private placement financing with the intention of executing a summer 2013- exploration and drill program in an emerging potash district (click here for full news release).
In addition, over the past 30 trading days - a period which has seen liquidity dry up for many juniors - Pacific Potash has traded nearly 10 million shares. It currently trades for $0.095.

Potash: A Necessity for Many.

Dear member,
Potash is one of the easiest commodities to understand. When going long potash, one is betting on increased food consumption. That’s basically it.
There are two undeniable facts that ensure increased food consumption and demand for potash over the long-run: Exploding populations and decreasing arable land on which to produce food.
The global population is increasing and arable land is being destroyed at an alarming pace. To be clear, this doesn’t guarantee the price of potash is going to explode and that potash companies will always make money hand over fist, but it does support consistent growth in demand for this commodity. Furthermore, this combination ensures that rising populations will need to grow more food in less space and for that to happen, fertilizer (one primary ingredient in many fertilizers is potash) is a necessity.
With those facts considered - and the weak demand for many other commodities at the moment - our team has become very interested in potash and countries working to increase their mineable potash reserves.
200,000 babies are born every day. Minus the average daily death rate of 75,000 people and the world is left with a net 125,000 daily population growth. In the next 35 years an additional 2.5 billion people are expected to be living on this earth. In addition, millions will be lifted from poverty every year in China and India and will demand a higher quality of food. [Read more →]
