I sat down with Gwen Preston, newsletter writer, and ex-mining-journalist, on August 29, to talk about the current state of the commodity market, as well as pick her brain on what she looks for in a good junior mining company.
Is Gwen Preston Bullish or Bearish on Mining Stocks?
Although Gwen recently sold a portion of her mining stocks for tax purposes, she remains bullish on the metals and mining stocks.
Which Metals is the Mining Maven Bullish on?
Gwen is most bullish on uranium.
However, she is also bullish on the precious metals gold and silver.
For the growth side of the commodities market, Gwen is currently investing in copper, nickel, and lithium
How Does Gwen Research Good Mining Stocks to Invest in?
Gwen and I talked through my research framework, she helped me develop it, and told me what to look for in each of the areas that I research.
My research framework is called “The 10Ps”. Those “Ps” are:
- Primary metrics
- People
- Place
- Project
- Problems
- Plans
- Promotion
- Prudence
- Patience
- Potential
