You could say the Junior is more risky, but potentially more [...]

Movies entertain and enlighten. I love to go out for a drink and then to a movie and to be able to slip back deep into the seat to be totally enveloped in the warm dark and vivid action and emotion of the movie house. It is just not the same on the TV, regardless [...]

At midweek let us pause to decide if you should buy, hold, or sell your mining stock. This enquiry is brought on by news that Suncor is “preparing for $40 crude…getting ready for the worst.” The issues is should you prepare for the worst and how should you prepare?

A personal reflection on my most admired politician. I never met and never was able to vote for Helen Suzman. But she inspired hope that things would get better in South Africa. In the Economist at this link is her obituary. Nothing I can add can bring her further honor or fame. But I must [...]

Dinner party discussions are not necessarily the best way to gauge the state of the mining industry. Nevertheless, here are some ideas that have been floated and argued over during one or more of the four suppers I have enjoyed with friends in the past four days.
