The crumbling Portuguese economy is probably one of the driving forces behind gold's rise today. Good news for miners. All these problems make me think of Pierre Berton's book 1967 - The Last Good Year. A family friend gave it to me years ago. Peter Grandich said everyone should spend a couple of hours to watch the Inside Job. I sure will. It was great that Amanda Lang came to the STA Convention last year. I found her talk quite alarming. There are a lot of wrongs in this world. The craziness of Wall Street and sovereign debt are among them. I had seen a Financial Post article about the potential of sub-Saharan Africa for investment. This is indeed true. I was amazed that there are now mining prospects in Eritrea and Ethiopia - two formerly war-torn countries. I've certainly been fortunate to cash in on the success of Continental Gold in Colombia. What a change of events there too! Didn't FARC release some captives just last year? The only problem - and it's a big one - is how is the whole world suppose to sustain economic growth? If the under-developed world wants what we enjoy, how can it continue?
I've decided to use some of my geophysics background to make some $$ from junior miners. Unfortunately, I never took electromagnetic methods because I was chicken and I figured I was only interested in seismology anyways. Big mistake. Although I think I can read IP profiles like the ones from Romios Gold, it would have been better to know the theory behind all those methods!
