Underground investor Christian DeHaemer says junior gold stocks are the ones to watch. In fact, he says this asset class will be “the number one asset class over the next two years.” This means that junior miners could make you more money than any other asset class in the near future. According to DeHaemer, there are several factors contributing to this play (most of which will be familiar to Notes readers).

For one thing, the US is creating more money than at any time in history in an effort to inflate the next bubble, save the banks, and extend the hand of government. Bloomberg has put the total bailout bill at $12.8 trillion, which is roughly this year’s annual GDP. The profligate spending by current and past administrations is well documented and ultimately must lead to inflation. What we are seeing now is the de facto definition of an inflation-generating machine. […]We have seen from the 1970s that hard assets perform better in a high inflation environment. Add to this a falling dollar, which is the other side of the same coin, and a flight away from paper currencies into gold, and you get a powerful long-term trend in real assets like oil and gold.

*** Christian says junior miners are a great way to play this scenario because they offer low risk and high reward…

Junior gold stocks didn’t fully participate in the rally that drove gold from $250 to $1,000 per ounce over the last seven years. But they absolutely got hammered in the commodity/credit bust of 2008. Many fell by 75% or more. And these are the top-tier, small companies with little or no debt and plenty of proven reserves. These are companies that were trading at market caps from $500 million to $1 billion a few years ago, that you can now buy in the $100 million range… in December I was able to pick up some of these small-cap gold companies for little more than the cash they had in the bank.

This kind of trade is for gutsy investors only. But here at Notes we reckon this could pay off big time.

P.S: James Davidson’s Crisis Strategy Alert portfolio continues to soar to new heights, without the risks of conventional investments. James has a nose for what he calls “investment outliers” — assets mispriced by crisis conditions. One “income outlier” he recently discovered allows ordinary citizens to pick up “tax rebate” (up to $781.33 a month). These monthly payouts are easy to set up. But you must act fast. The next check could arrive as soon as 4.00 EDT, Friday, June 12.

The Five Reasons Why Now’s the Time to Buy Junior Miners

Gold could be ready to end the summer doldrums even before summer begins.

The most relevant area of resistance in the way of this outlook is the 30-point range between $890 and $920. If gold can break through and find support at these values it will be poised to rise for the summer.

With that said, I think we’ve had our seasonal low and now it’s gold’s turn to shine…as the most preferable commodity…and better yet, to become money again.

Just writing that makes me realize how early in the game it still is. Who today would believe gold will become money again? Yet, at the top of the market everyone will.

Here is the best opportunity for us right now…

Get Filthy Rich While You Sleep

Doing nothing while collecting royalties has to be one of the best — and easiest — ways to get rich. For instance, David Sengstack does nothing and collects royalty paychecks of $2 million per year…just because his dad was smart enough to buy the commercial rights to a song you’ve sung a hundred times, “Happy Birthday to You.”

Michael Jackson does nothing and collects royalties every time a Beatles song plays on the radio (he bought the rights years ago). But Paul McCartney — now a billionaire — does nothing and collects even more on the 3,000 song rights from other artists that he owns.

Today, you can do the same…and you don’t have to buy song rights. We got something even better. Check it out here…

The Five Best Reasons to Buy Good Quality Precious Metal Juniors

Most of the small-cap and junior resource market has been in decline since gold first broke the $700 level back in 2006. But that’s all about to change, I have five reasons why you should buy juniors now before the window closes — lets get started…

Reason #1, is that, several depressing factors have come together to produce an early seasonal low, at least for the precious metals sector.

Reason #2, as implied in the introduction, gold has lagged the commodity cycle because the market is infatuated with the growth in developing countries, and has inferred a “realness” to their demand for commodities. I’ve never disputed that the growth exists… just that there is a lot more inflation, and that inflation is what drives prices higher.

I believe the gold market is at a bullish inflection point — a point of recognition of sorts.

Reason #3, the precious metal juniors have hardly benefited from the bullish trends in these commodities to date, especially since 2006, never mind the future.

Lots of money found its way into the junior segment over recent years, to be sure, but this expansion in capitalization has been dilutive. The Canadian Venture Exchange (CDNX) has had a hard time keeping up with gold itself, and is at its lowest level relative to gold since 2002. Simply put, the juniors should be tracking gold — and right now they have a lot of catching up to do. The result is a widening gap between the values of majors and juniors. In my mind, that gap will soon contract.

With that said I think it’s the best buying opportunity in this segment since 2002.

Reason #4, The money that has poured into the junior precious metals segment over the past few years has been soundly invested. I am impressed with the value that I’ve seen many juniors create throughout this cycle — the development of assets discovered back in the nineties has been astonishing.

Finally, the best reason to own these juniors now…

Why Has Oil Surged?

Dwindling value in the dollar, a crisis in U.S. credit, rising demand from overseas. These are all explanations for the recent surge in oil prices. But that’s not the whole story.

There are more dangerous and deadly reasons for the rise in oil prices, and the real truth explains why we can expect this surge to last for a long time to come. Click here to read about the “bloody backlash.”

Reason #5, the next takeover wave!

Many of the large-cap producers are priced for growth, and they know that if they want to sustain those multiples, they’ll have to buy or find reserves. That’s the incentive.

Meanwhile, the juniors spent lots of investment dollars proving up their assets, and the market has ignored them. So they are ripe for acquisition.

And, the majors have plenty of cash, thanks to the latest run in gold prices.

Some, such as Agnico Eagle have said they’re on the hunt, while others like Gold Fields are obviously in need of assets outside of South Africa. Corrections in the price of gold won’t discourage them.

There’s your ammunition, five Solid reasons to make sure you are small-cap and junior miners. These miners won’t remain at these levels long, so now is your chance to get in!

I’m working on a more comprehensive target list as we speak. I see a window of opportunity between now and the end of this gold price correction to buy the good quality small-caps and juniors before they take off. The window could close earlier than you think.

Ed Bugos
