High profit margins versus high volumes
The good performance of a number of mining and energy stocks on Friday was notable with the evidence of some bottom fishing. The June selling campaign often tends to become less aggressive in the second half of the month, and we see that this might be happening again. Watch the first few days of next week to see if the buyers are still around.
With June being the typical boring month, even more so this year as it comes after (or during) the interest rate induced bear market. Perhaps it is time to be forward looking and think about how we can do it smarter in the next cycle. How can we become sharper and get on board with the next generation of stock market performers? In asking this question we should consider whether there is more money to be made by stock market traders in smaller, profit margin focused projects rather than in projects of a huge scale.
Also, Kaiser Reef seems to be making good progress with its high grade gold project in Victoria.
