I agree, no "Gus Chiggins" old-prospectors-with-pitchfork-compa... for me. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, or those who do, or anyone who just needs to laugh on a day like this, here is the SNL clip of old Gus:

The defined deposits I do like are: Tyhee, Kimber, Aquiline, Vista, Great Panther.

The emerging producers I like are: Minefinders, Silver Standard, Silvercorp, Minera Andes, Golden Queen, First Majestic.

As much as I believe that certain companies are going to be home runs, I am not comfortable only owning a few. I am heavily in this sector, but within the sector I prefer to spread my risk around 10 or so companies. I figure in the long run, a few may go bust, a few may mirror the HUI, and a few may be life-altering home runs. I just am not wise enough to know which will do which. But they will happen.
