There are approximately 26,000 books written on mining history, over 20 books published on gold bullion and the junior speculative mining market but, to date, no book has been written specifically on the Trading, Speculating and Investment of gold and precious metals stocks.

Gold stocks are stocks first and commodity instruments second, bearing this in mind we need to adopt appropriate stock trading and investment strategies in order to trade and invest in them successfully.

In North America, gold and precious metals stocks are permanently overpriced, which causes even the smallest and marginal gold mining company's properties to be funded without dilution and tends to make junior and independent gold mining companies into great trading and speculative vehicles.
