MARKET OUTLOOK:
Three of my BNN top picks are beating the Dow year to date in U.S.
dollar. It’s surprising because the industry index (HUI) is down 30
percent during this same period, and they are the three precious metals
producers that I have been consistently recommending for the last three
years. Detour Gold is leading the charge up 30 percent followed by both
Agnico Eagle and Silver Standard up 10 percent, in contrast the Dow is
flat for the year. That goes to show that good old fashion stock picking
still works. These numbers are much greater in the Canadian dollar. (more)
