subject: Gold Trends Driving Force Behind SmallCap Mining Companies Success [print this page]
Investors these days are tired of speculation by analysts on which technology or drug will rise to the top. Instead they have shifted their focus and capital into more tangible assets such as oil and gold. Of course record gold prices are the catalyst for this shift. However, the normal investor doesn't have access to the amount of capital a bank and/or government does so, they can't afford buying a bunch of gold and oil contracts.
So, instead of just sitting on the bench, many have branched out and expanded their scope to include higher risk, higher return investments, i.e. SmallCap Mining companies. I have noticed this trend really gaining ground of late and the evidence is right in front of you with just a few examples from the SmallCap space that are purely speculative and exploratory instead of fundamentally sound.
Just a few of those today flourishing from this trend are Silver Falcon Mining (OTC: SFMI); Tuffnell (OTC: TUFF); and Gold American Mining (OTC: SILA).
Shares of Silver Falcon Mining jumped up 20 percent to $0.30 per share on volume nearly 1.8 million shares which is more than double its average daily volume.
Shares of Tuffnell were up nearly 19 percent at $0.95 per share on volume of nearly 350,000 shares which is also more than double its average daily volume.
Shares of Gold American Mining jumped up more than 5 percent to $0.81 per share on volume of more than 503,000 shares which is slightly above its average daily volume of 478,000 shares.
How long will this trend last? Several factors will answer this question with the most powerful influence coming from gold prices, but also a huge factor to consider is how management executes its acquisition plan and overall business strategy. The timing and efficiency of this will separate and identify the leaders from the laggards in the precious metals industry.
