No guarantees though, of course. <g> |

Happy New Year.
The #5 company on the list, Aurcana (v.AUN), is showing hyper-growth in 2013-2014. S/B producing close to 10 million silver oz. within 12 months. This coupled with a likely spike in siver prices could very well drive AUN to from 3X to 5X of the current SP. Isn't rapid increase in SP the objective?
Regards,
DrBill |

| To: DrBill who wrote (4671) | 1/12/2013 4:50:57 PM | | From: TheSlowLane | | | | Hi DrBill,
Thanks for your comments! I am not familiar with Aurcana so maybe the information in the Motley Fool article is dated but that says:
"...now that Shafter has achieved commercial production we will see whether this budding mid-tier producer can come through with theambitious initial production goal of 3.8 million silver ounces in its first full year of operation."
Do they intend to go from 3.8MM to 10MM ounces over the second/third year?
Scratch that...I just found it here:
fool.com
So that article was from February and the CEO said 500,000 ounces per month within 2-3 months. Do you know if they are there yet?
Thanks!

| From: PaperPerson | 2/13/2013 4:03:07 PM | | | | | | | In the emerging cannabis industry, my | current favorite is XCHC (36 mm shs, 13-15 cents per share).
This is a highly volatile stock field dominated by penny stocks such as MJNA, which I sold. This one is more of a microcap than a penny, in that it has only 36 million shares. It was a shell taken over in December by some excecutives from CBIS, which is a penny stock but had been gradually putting together a couple of interesting deals.
The stock is running on news it acquired a 25 percent stake in a jv with an indian tribe in Canada to produce cannabis and run medical clinics up there.
The chart shows it breaking out above its 200-day moving average, and that the on-balance-volume, which i watch as a sign of accumulation or distribution, looks very strong.
stockcharts.com
XCHC risks: zero cash, feds conceivably could kill the deal.
but I think this latest announcement should have some investors writing checks.
