Alani111, thanks for these reminders, my-self having been in the junior exploration sector since the 70 ts also recall the hype that drove the pennies becausue of the commodity boom.. To-day i hear two different versions with North America crying bust yet Asia is set for the next big commodity boom. China has been buying up the copper as 70 more cities are being built housing minimum 1,000,000 people while Japan has the financiss in place to start rebuilding Hydro grid systems requiring tons of copper and silver. Asian analyst see copper shortages 3 rd Qtr on the LME dry up with not enough new production coming on-line until 3rd Qtr 2013. The hidden driver here well be that Russia, Qatar and India are holding World sporting events ( 3 TO 5 YRS ) incomparisson to the BC olympics requiring 100ds of billions in infrastructure. Silver prices could see higher gains as Regulations tightning up guidlines along with Banks trading gold and silver. .I see alot of juniors that are down to a few pennies yet have proven 43-101. I guess holding a few little juniors in the portfolio can"t hurt as investors look for cheap commodity stocks with huge reservers.. Traps7
