Notice what's been happening to Canada's balance of payments? They used to run large annual trade deficits with the U.S. Now it's the other way around. And their GDP is looking progressively healthier.
Is there something the Canadians know that the United States doesn't?
How about natural resources? It's the key to the Canadian economy. While mining accounts for 00.5% of the S&P 500, it makes up 45% of Canada's principle index, the TSE 300. Canada is also turning out far more geophysicists than the United States and every major Canadian university has schools of geology and mining engineering.
Not surprisingly, then, the new exploration industry is emerging not in New York, but in Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary. And most of the best new mining juniors are headquartered in Canada.
So, unless your broker has been flying to Canada frequently, look elsewhere to invest in the worldwide resource rush. Even then, be careful. There are tens of thousands of stockbrokers out there and most just sell what management tells them to or passively take orders.
Why not use the best in the business? Let Doug Casey give you the phone numbers of the six top brokers he personally uses and trusts. These are specialists in the natural resources sector who have proved instrumental to Doug in amassing his own millions.
Don't Be Surprised If No One But You Knows These Secrets
(Be Very Happy)Partially for the reasons above, junior mining shares are all but invisible to analysts based in Manhattan. You'll almost never see them talked about in Business Week or Money.
The other big reason for this "information blackout" relates to the typical size of these new exploration companies. Their market capitalization is often too small for the big brokerage houses or mutual funds to bother with. There simply aren't enough shares.
Consider this a blessing. Because of the intense scrutiny that analysts lavish on the 30 companies that make up the Dow-Jones Industrial Average, or the S&P 500, every move they make is headline news. As a result, it's impossible to take advantage of your own special knowledge and any return you get from these stocks won't be too different from what the stock market is doing as a whole. You're running with the herd.
Junior mining companies, on the other hand, are tracked in detail only by a handful of investors. And the trading volume is typically so thin that even a modest uptick in interest has a powerful impact. So when a major discovery is made and the news finally hits - it's a bombshell.
It isn't unusual to see the price of a mining junior quickly double or triple. There are dozens of these stocks that have shot up 100%, 500%, even 1000% or more in under a year.
When Mutual Funds Move In, Watch Prices Explode Caution is an excellent investment habit. If you hope to profit from the worldwide resource rush, however, let me advise you to start now.
Doug Casey's story, and the killings made by his readers, have not gone unnoticed. We have seen that quite a few subscriptions to Doug Casey's International Speculator are being purchased by some rather prominent individuals with Wall Street addresses.
Last year, moreover, Mr. Barton Biggs of Morgan Stanley, the world's largest brokerage firm - he is called "Mr. Wall Street" - announced that he was moving 3% of the assets they manage into gold-related securities.
This represents a movement of a billion dollars, at a time when the powers on the street were "confident" that inflation had been licked.
I can promise you that plenty of analysts, brokers and fund managers follow every move of Mr. Biggs. Some will eventually mimic him, and right now, at the very least, there are plenty of folks at brokerage houses trying to find out more about the natural resource sector that they so studiously ignored for 15 years.
Whether you view this prospect with joy or alarm depends, of course, on your investment portfolio.
When the time arrives, if you have taken Doug Casey's advise and already loaded up on the right investments, you'll have plenty of fun as Wall Street desperately tries to buy them from you in the months and years to come.
And if any significant fraction of mutual fund buying power shifts toward natural resources... watch for an across-the-board price explosion.
You don't want to miss that. It's going to be the big one.
Another Reason Not To Wait The Global Gold Rush is just that - a rush. It's not going to wait at the station for you.
Inevitably, the best mineral concessions in the newly opened countries will be snatched up by the smartest exploration companies. As this happens, the major mining companies - the giants - will make their deals with the explorers, either with joint ventures or outright purchases.
The juniors and their shareholders will get rich in short order. And the stocks, while very pleasant to sell, will have realized their most dramatic profit potential. You want to be selling then, not buying.
The global resource rush is gathering steam already.
