Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Further to my earlier question I would appreciate your comments on both TKOs mining/refining processes and an evaluation of the stock's potential.
My research suggests that the company has a significant mine, Gibraltar, in BC and a copper in-situ mine under construction in Florence, Arizona which should be operational within 3 months. It is my understanding that a major pilot project at the Florence mine has been very successful using the in-situ process. In this process the ore body was drilled and fraced, a low ph solution is pumped down the drill holes dissolving the copper and then pumped back to the surface. The copper retrieved from the solution was of cathode grade. No crushing or smelting.
There was considerable public support from the environmental community when this pilot project was completed.
Please correct any errors in my comments/statements as the results of this process appear to be too good to be true.
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: Conspiracy Theory???
For decades I have heard and read that JPM, as a bullion bank, has an enormous inventory of silver bullion actually owned by the firm. This is in addition to the bullion they store for other parties making a nice fee. Further, it is suggested that JPM backstops other institutions that may require an infusion of bullion to meet an emergent demand. ie. The London Metal Exchange. Fortunately, this rumour was what motivated me to choose JPM as my US bank stock a 2+ decades aqo.
I have searched JPM's 2004 Annual Report (330+ pages) in vain looking for some record of massive silver holding which would show up as a major asset on the Balace Sheet. As the price of silver has appreciated I would expect that this growing value would be reflected in the financial statements.
Can you explode the myth or confirm any of the above?
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: Dear Peter et al:

I am NOT in a Panic mode....yet! Having been a long term subscriber, I KNOW "Time IN the market" is more important than "Timing the market"!
Also know that "pull backs" are NOT Crashes!
I have your favourites in Gold, FNV/AEM/WPM/AGI. ARIS in the Mid tier. Added Silver with Ag/PAAS/CDE. (Down now!) I was going to add your recent pick SVM. But before I could pull the trigger the sudden drop in Gold/Silver happened.

With this in mind, where do you see the new floor for Gold and Silver? 3600/40 respectively? Should one add or wait or sell?
Thanks as always.

Q: AbraSilver has recently closed a bought deal financing at $7.10 with Kinross as one of the buyers to finance its advancement of Diablillos in Argentina. This seems to be a large project so with shares now at $6.29 would you be a buyer? Please comment also on the PAAS outlook.
