Muppet Eating Crow

The miners continue to stink it up.  Stay clear.

On the other hand, last years energy has become this year's $$.

The market is weird.  Buy the dip on stocks has been the name of the game.  I've largely missed out, except for energy. 

Muppet Miners Update

Well, Mining Muppet celebrates a year of sporadic updates, exuberance, and capitulation next week.  In the meantime, I'm posting the "Muppet Picks" from about 8 months ago.  Sunward continues to disappoint, and Tinka is currently in an interesting channel.  SilverCrest is the star of the group.  The only one I currently own is SantaCruz.

Muppet Picks Update

Here's an update of the Muppet Picks that I bought last May.  Tinka is the biggest disappointment--but at the time, it was the junior that had made me the most money, it was a winner all of 2012 for me.  It still makes up a decent chunk of my core, and I haven't trimmed since the smack-down last April.  Recent additions, that I won't be tracking (just because I haven't decided if they're trades or "core" yet) include Golden Minerals (AUMN), Quest Rare Minerals (QRM), First Majestic, US version (AG), and Sandstorm Gold (SAND). AUMN and SAND have been impressive.  Wished I had bought EXK, but it was weak early (just a lagger, it turned out), so I missed out.  I also have some GDXJ, which is just a momentum trade.  I also have to point out, that although I bought SWD.TO at $0.31, I still have some that I bought back at $1.12.  I wish I had sold--seems like the company is not much more than a shell now, although the website still looks good, and they had good drill results as recently as September--no real reason to sell now.
