tip:  don't buy gold miners - period.

 

probably no other industry that's destroyed more shareholder capital.

Just analyze them like most other companies.

 

How much money do they make?  Do they have a good capital structure?  How big is the dividend? 

 

What are their future prospects?  What is management's track record?

 

Jurisdiction they operate in?

 

There are some good ones out there that may be excellent investments!  HOWEVER, they are RARE (just like other good investments)!

Thank you! Have you read it? Do you like this edition or the newer 4th edition?

The gold miner I am eyeing on shows in the  43-101 report that the reserves have about 1 gram per ton of gold, but in its quarterly filings, they consistently report about 3-4 grams per ton of gold being processed each quarter, which is a bit strange to me. Is that possible?
