Mining Stocks picks

[echebota]

I own plenty of physical PMs. Was lucky to get in on a large sum in Dec-March period. I'm planing on purchasing a portfolio of Silver / Gold / Palladium / Platinum mining stocks now. I'd make an accent on Silver stocks though. I guess that within the next month or two it's going to be a nice window to do so. Obviously I'll do the due research, but I'd really appretiate if you can share your picks. Please help the newby in the PM stock market.

I am not a stock mkt expert but the companies i like and own, also i will avoid South Africa and South America.

Also try and get producing companies with a strong balance sheet , cash to debt.

these mining companies love to issue new stock to fund projects.

company ( sym ) --- gold (m/oz) -- silver(m/oz) -- uranium(m/#) -- cash -------debt
---------------- ---------- ----------- ------------- ----- ----
Fronteer dev(frg) 3.73 -- 5.4m/oz gold -- 36m/0z sil -- 133 mil # ur -- $126m -- $ 3.3m


silver corp (svm) 4.52 -------- 191m/oz sil ------------------- $ 75m -- $25m


nova gold (ng ) 4.13 --- 29m/oz gold -- 105moz sil ------------- $ 37m -- $106m


svm is a chinese co , the goverment buys the silver from svm at 75% of world spot price.

nova has vast gold resourses next to barrick gold (ABX )

Of the three i like fronteer and silver corp. these co's are producers.stay with producers
nova gold is always looking for money to operate.
