>>22715706I get the impression that Al-Haji is more useful for trading crude oil futures or trading oil company stocks than he is for knowing which oil company's stock to buy. That is, from what I understand, he provides timing information. I'm only aware of Al-Haji through his appearances on Macro Voices.
I think a lot of people here would benefit from subscribing to a useful news letter that does better securities analysis on the mining companies. Most of the postings here are related to investing in stocks of mining companies but I feel that there is too much focus on exploration stage companies that are at extremely high risk of going bankrupt or being diluted to kingdom come.
Out of the stocks endorsed here that I've seen, only a few haven't been total catastrophes and none has been a multi-bagger.
Blue Lagoon: It fell 80% or so from the time it was put forth and has recovered to be down only 20%. For those who bought at the absolute bottom, they've made about 4x their money.
Dolly Varden: It's about break even from the time I first saw it. The stock has not had tremendous volatility though so it was never down too much and never up very much either.
Nicola Mining: It's up about 20% from when it was first mentioned. The stock at its worst might have been down 20% or more. Not gut wrenching but the return has been poor so far.
Klondike Gold: This thing is down 60% from when it was first mentioned.
Bluestone: Down 55% from first mention.
Scottie Resources: Down 50% from first mention.
These are all junior companies and they really should only be a very tiny part of one's portfolio as they are highly speculative. I mentioned Fred Hickey because his big recommendations (he personally had a very large percentage of his portfolio in these stocks) were:
Alamos Gold: Up about 3.5x, 250% since 2020
Agnico Eagle Mines: Up nearly 100% since 2020 and the stock pays a dividend
Wesdome: Up nearly 60% or more than 100% if you bought it at its lows in 2023.
