Insider Buying Alert - Northern Tiger Resources

2012-03-25T12:26:00.000-07:00

One microcap gold explorer which I own and think is a good buy here is Northern Tiger Resources (NTR: TSX-V). The gold explorer market is severely depressed right now with many explorers trading at ridiculous valuations, but I expect that to change sooner than later.

"Northern Tiger Resources Inc. (NTR: TSX-V) is a Canadian-based resource exploration company focused on gold and copper exploration in the Yukon."

The 3Ace property has big potential! Here are some recent drill results:

3A-11-19 - 1.18 g/t gold over 31.7 metres
3A-11-33 - 2.58 g/t gold over 53.0 metres, including 17.72 g/t over 2.0 metres
3A-11-34 - 4.37 g/t over 10.0 metres and 70.11 g/t over 1.1 metres

Insiders have been buying: The CEO has purchased over 150K shares in the past month alone, most recently on March 16.

I am long Northern Tiger.

What You Need to Know About the Capital Gains Tax

2012-03-19T10:58:00.006-07:00

If there is one thing that you cannot avoid, it is paying taxes, and the same goes for paying taxes on capital gains made in the stock market - you must understand what the capital gains tax is! It is important to understand different tax structures to see how much you have to pay on your capital gains.

There is a big difference between short term capital gains (positions sold less than one year) and long-term (more than a year).

The Many Uses of Silver - Why It's a Great Investment

2012-01-11T10:49:00.000-08:00

I am pretty confident silver is going to at least $100 an ounce sometime in the near future, and this is one big reason. Silver is used in so many different ways, and it is thrown away in microscopic amounts.

What people don't realize is that today, silver is actually RARER THAN GOLD, because there is less above ground supply to buy.

Is Real Estate is STILL The Best Investment Out There?

2012-01-10T15:49:00.000-08:00

I do really love the idea of investing in real estate for passive income. I don't think the crash of '08 has changed this from an investors point.

Cash flow is the name of the game. Here's why I think real estate looking pretty good right now in particular.

My Top Silver Pick for 2012

2011-12-27T12:10:00.000-08:00

"Established in 2004, Silver Wheaton has quickly positioned itself as the largest metals streaming company in the world. The company currently has fourteen silver purchase agreements and two precious metals agreements where, in exchange for an upfront payment, it has the right to purchase all or a portion of the silver" (www.silverwheaton.com).

Who Said Gold Doesn't Pay a Dividend?

2011-12-22T11:44:00.000-08:00

This gold stock pays it MONTHLY! It is my #1 stock to own in 2012.

With my forecasted gold price at $2,100 - $2,500 for 2012, Franco Nevada could be trading in the $60-$70 range in 2012. With current gold prices at $1600, I believe they are still worth more than the current $38 price, and value the shares at over $50.

In my opinion, Franco is much more undervalued then their major competitor, Royal Gold, and they have a lot more room to grow and do more deals in the near future.

Inverse ETF's could be huge in 2012.

You can make money in any market - besides buying a stock you can SHORT a Stock. But shorting stocks is not exactly easy and you have to know what you are doing. However, buying an Inverse ETF fund is the next best thing.

I believe that we are in for a roller coaster of a ride in 2012...

(PLEASE READ): Please don't take this as an investment recommendation or personal advice. Please do your own due dilligence and read our disclaimer before making any investment decisions!

MY Top Pick - SNDXF - Sandstorm Gold.

As you can see, I am clearly in favor of the gold/silver junior mining stocks and warrants. I do hold positions in non-PM stocks in my other portfolio (mainly mid-cap dividend stocks) so this is just one portfolio but these are my main positions and the portfolio I expect to outperform considerably over the next couple of years. Some of these equities are extremely undervalued and I am hoping the market finally pays some attention to them.

My Top Mutual Fund Pick for 2012

2011-12-16T17:39:00.000-08:00

I've scoured all the mutual funds available to invest in and I am convinced that one mutual fund will outperform all the rest in 2012: the Tocqueville Gold Fund.

Yahoo!Finance

The fund is comprised of gold stocks, but physical gold itself, which I expect to rise to $2,500 in 2012. Political chaos in Europe (and even here in the US) will continue, and so will rising inflation, plus increased concern over the US national debt, which is now over $15 trillion and 100 percent of our GDP.

Earning a Second Income is Important

2011-12-16T15:22:00.000-08:00

Unfortunately for many, one source of income is just not enough. Therefore you should consider picking up a second side job. I've listed some examples in this post. Keep in mind you can always do something you love as a second job - it doesn't have to be "work"!

For example, writing is one of my passions, and I just started blogging for InfoBarrel. I'm new so I haven't made any money yet, but you have to give it time. If you write about something you are passionate about, and if you write articles that will be useful to people, I think the money will follow. Some people on the site are making upwards of $2,000 a month!

What is Silver and Why You Should Be Buying it!

2011-12-14T20:47:00.000-08:00

There is a reason Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, has dubbed silver "the best opportunity I have ever seen."

Today is Dec. 14, 2011, with one of the biggest one-day drops in the silver price in recent memory. Silver is back down under $29.

The price of silver is VERY volatile, so investing in this metal is not for the faint of heart. I have been a buyer since it was in the low-20's, only to watch the price then shot up to $49, only to crash down...

*Despite the big drop today, over the long-term I STILL believe Silver could be worth well over $250!

Silver is no doubt one of the most interesting investments out there.
