Junior Resource Stocks Are Killing Me
Peter Grandich
February 4, 2012
I’ve called it the worse bear market in my 30 years in and around the financial arena. I lost seven figures in actual losses and on paper in juniors myself in 2012.
Below is an actual email I received from a friend of almost 25 years and once was one of the biggest junior resource stocks brokers in the USA:

Hey Pete
I have not been feeling well for a few months….dull headaches, lightheadedness and anxiety.
While driving yesterday I got lightheaded so I went into Rite Aid and took my blood pressure and it was off the charts 189/112.
Alarmed I went to the hospital emergency room, they took me as a priority and gave me a CT head scan, EKG, blood tests and chest x-ray. All tests were fine.
They gave me two BP pills and got my pressure down to 165/95. It should come down to normal after a couple of days but now I have to take erection killing BP pills (hello Viagra).
The doctor asked if there is anything causing me stress and my reply was:
“Doc, are you a junior resource stock investor?” He said no. I said I wish I was not either but I am, hence the high BP.
For his sake, yours and mine, I hope the worse is getting behind us!
After losing 50% of its value, the TSX Venture has yet to signal a significant bottom. If it can rise above the bounce high of October, we could come out from under the desk (but not before).
