Bob Hoye: "Rising real prices for gold also enhance the worth of gold discoveries and while there is plenty of 1930s history on the seniors, there is very little on the juniors. In the early 1970s I attended a promotional meeting on a stock.

Can't remember what it was, but the older and dapper gentleman who introduced the "great" promoter had been a broker on the wild Montreal Exchange in the early 1930s. When I asked him if the juniors had been hot then, he said "Sonny, in 1933 my best customer gave me a brand new Ford Roadster - as a thank you."

I liked this longish article even though I found some of it difficult to follow.
