George Frangeskides, Chairman at ALBA, explains why the Pilbara Lithium option ‘was too good to miss’. Watch the video here.
Lucky buy for me, as only bought yesterday... wishing I'd bought more!!
Of the Gold mining companies sill have very low P/Es whilst their revenues are kicking-up dramatically.
A not unexpected drop in the price of gold over the last couple of days (not just because of Israel/Iran going quiet, but the laws of gravity coming to play) has resulted in some buying opportunities for those who have hedged their bets with physical bullion holdings, and the multiplier of Gold mining shares.
82% since buying first batch in August 2023. When comparing performance figures for HOC against multiple other Gold miners of medium to substantial size it comes out tops, though with some of the smaller companies possibly MTL may present some outstanding gains from the very active position that they are in at present.

Worth buying on the dips
Appears to be a industrial recovery underway in China and USA which will help boost the value of companies involved in PGMs. I'm up 20% since buying back-in on 20th March. SLP, JLP, and THS have all started upwards since 4th March. Non UK companies such as Anglo American AAL and Sibanye Stillwater SBSW are behaving similarly.
It could depend on what currency you have available when buying. The Toronto, LSE, NYQ and the Mexican listings all track each other when overlaying the SP graphs.
Tangible Gold. Gold's impact in a bigger picture involves who owns it, the USA at Bretton Woods in 1944 had the reserves and could call how the future would be i.e. the Dollar was backed by Gold. Being a reserve currency bestows many bonuses. Russia is actively trying to reduce trade using Dollars. China resents the Dollar's reserve currency status and the free gifts that it bestows, such as exporting its inflation. China despite its statements re owning only 2,000T of Gold probably has around 30,000 T looking at past purchases and their own production which is not available for export. Gold is where it is at when the day ends.
Sliced today and sold 152,833 shares at 24.7572p. Nobody can predict world events and there's been a hell of an upwards run, so its probably prudent to take some profits. Sliced a few of several other Gold miners today; with the thought that a retrace may bring a dip worth buying into. Who knows what will happen?
The dip
The rolling P/E for PAF is 5.9 compared to 12.8 for EDV.
PAF meets three of the long screens on Stockp.... whilst EDV doesn't meet any, though there's a case for holding EDV as well as other Gold miners as it appears that the rising tide is lifting all ships at the moment. There's an excellent article in Bloomb.... this evening "The Gold Market Hunts for Answers Behind Bullion’s Sudden Surge" which explores all the possible reasons for Golds rise, there are more than a few, but none really definitive.
Its been reported in one of the financial papers that Hedge funds "boosted bullish bets on gold to the highest in four years" as the price of Gold soars.
"Net-long positions in US bullion futures and options surged 13% in the week ended April 2 to the highest since 2020" according to data released on Friday.
Many Gold companies up today along with the record price per oz. SRB 0.72%, RSG 2.98%, HOC 0.6%, EDV 2.28%, CEY 1.44%, a couple down MTL 2.86%, WPM 1.38% (but up in USA listing by 1.26%). Among the US stocks HAR up 3.35% along with many others. Monday should be another rattling good day with its 1 year rolling P/E of just 4.4.
Another cracker has to be SRB with a P/E of 5.9 and rocket like upward momentum.
Eldorado in Canada up 2.3% ELD.TO
The ETF VanEck Junior Gold Miners GDXJ:LSE:USD up 18% in the past month, all bodes well for continuing upward trend, there's plenty of legs to run on the Gold bonanza.....
Still plenty of legs for this to run further higher. Now only waiting for some of the other smaller companies that are also under the radar to rise, such as RSG, SRB, (possibly even KEFI) and the bigger ones EDV, PAF, HOC, WPM . Some gems in the US and Canadian markets e.g. HMY.NYSE and ELD.TO
