Here is the "Look at my Portfolio" for August.
.).
This month's report is accurate as of the evening of Tuesday, July 31, 2007, with silver at $12.86/oz.
This is a multi-million dollar portfolio, just over $12 million dollars.
Here's how to read a few symbols in the list below:
First, I list the company name. Next, I list how I acquired the stock, and whether it is tradable.
"PP-hold" means I bought the stock in a "Private Placement", and is restricted from being traded.
"FT" means the stock is now "Free Trading" and the hold time from the private placement has expired.
"OM" means I bought the stock on the "Open Market", not through a PP or Private Placement.
Next, I list the number of average days worth of trading volume of the stock that I hold, so that you can understand the relative size of my positions, to help you understand concerns about liquidity, and the difficulty I might have if I were to sell those stocks. If I own 1 day or less, I list it as "1 days".
Next, I list the primary metal that the company is exploring for, or developing: whether silver, gold, zinc, copper, moly, or other.
Next, I list symbols that work at Yahoo! Finance. Then, I list the website link for your further due diligence, then additional information, if any, such as a recent article. Everything in bold is new from the previous month.
Physical silver is my largest holding, and is about 20% of my overall portfolio.

My family cabin in Tahoe. (Appraisal estimate) The cabin is fully paid for (no debt). I'd sell, because it's real estate, but the cabin is a priceless family treasure, right on the ski slope. I have no other home. I rent where I live in Penn Valley, which is a nice, upscale, large, 4 bedroom house (on 5 acres, with a pond, a garden, a large lawn) that recently sold for $750,000, for $1900/month.

CASH! This is a fairly good cash amount; comfortable. More cash makes me nervous, because cash is trash. Less cash makes me nervous, because I need the liquidity to trade and to live.

WARRANTS:
The list does not include the value of warrants which come with many of the private placements. For those companies I've bought in private placements, (which usually include warrants), I have included a "PP" (for Private Placement) at the start of the line. For PP's with hold times that have come off, are now listed as FT for "free trading" For more information about private placements in silver companies, click here.
I have warrants, from PP deals, as follows:

--------------------------------------
Here are most of my trading decisions in this last month (just off the top of my head):
I substantially increased my position in Ascendant Copper. http://miningpedia.com/?s=acx.to --see the company profile at Miningpedia. I like it because it has 19 billion pounds of copper in historical resources. It's anyone's guess as to the Capex--I'm guessing $500 million? The market cap is a mere $32 million. The grade is very high, too, at about .8% copper, much higher than my .5% preferred cutoff. The stock is cheap, the company alleges, because a single shareholder who has 7 million shares wanted to dump. I now own 834,000 shares. So, there's no reason to aggressively bid up this stock. Just be patient, get on the bid at $.32-$.34 Cdn, and wait. The seller should sell to you. There is also substantial NGO (Non-governmental organization) risk here, because it's in Equador. But I noticed that other stocks in Equador didn't get slammed, so I bought in.
I finally bought back some Avino stock, and some Silver Dragon. Both silver companies that were on price dips this month. Silver Dragon is already up 34% from where I got it.
I sold some Candente to buy more Ascendant--a copper stock I like better.
I sold some Metalline Mining, too.
--------------------------------------
I have 17 postions each worth over $200,000 each.
I have 19 positions worth over $100,000 each.

General Market Commentary:
I've continued to study the copper market, for any sign that I might be wrong; that now is not a good time to invest in copper stocks that must catch up to the roaring copper price. So far, I've found no reason to think I've misjudged this market. See the two threads at the subscriber's forum in the "Economic Discussion Forum":
Articles on Copper Shortage
My rebuttal to Frank Veneroso
Next: There was a lot of talk this last month or two over the failed hedge funds run by Bear Sterns. Those $2 billion in losses are small potatoes. The concern is that this is the tip of the iceberg of a larger mess in the mortgage lending market. I think this mess will be much, much bigger than the Savings and Loan bailout of the early 1980's that cost some $250 billion, back when a billion was a lot of money. This next debacle/default/bankruptcy mess could be as big as a few trillion. Maybe it will take out some large bullion banks, or maybe they will be bailed out, which will cause continued inflation.
The interesting thing here is that the home buyers were betting on continued inflation. Even the lenders were betting on continued inflation; because a rising home price means that the loans can be easily covered. But the funny thing is that even a 13% money creation rate was not enough to stave off this bankruptcy. And the funny thing is that these lenders and borrowers who both bet on higher prices simply invested in the wrong things--assets that were already overpriced. So ironic. If they were both so convinced of inflation, then why didn't they just buy silver? Answer: They will.
Next item: I'm very encouraged by Ron Paul, running for President, and the growing support he is getting. The crowds were just crazy for Ron Paul, and so am I. See here for more:
TERBO Congress
Ron Paul 2008 & Politics
I think the most dangerous thing to watch out for, for our investments right now, is trade protectionism and trade barriors.
The most dangerous political development is the growing power of the Executive Branch, saying they can freeze assets of anyone they want, at any time they want, for any reason they want, and that they don't have to answer to anyone about it, and need not offer any explanation in any court of law.
Executive Order signed on July 17 by President Bush that authorizes him to block the personal property of anyone in the United States. Read the document here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news…/2007/07/20070717-3.html. If this link does not work, here is a backup source: http://www.freedom-force.org/newsarchive/EO_2007-07-17.mht.
This is a total violation of the rights of the people, and is more of a reason to own gold and silver than ever before. Gold and silver, the physical metals, are not assets that can be "frozen". Bank accounts, and trading accounts, are.
This executive order is almost a reason to stop writing completely--or even flee the country. At any time, I could be accused of "aiding" terrorists, merely by pointing out that owning gold and silver is a way to protect your assets from government confiscation. And then, my own trading accounts could be frozen. I suppose this makes it official. As an American during wartime, I'm now putting everything I own at risk to tell the truth about the inherant nature of gold and silver. I can only pray that the people in power don't view me as a potential terrorist.

Paying subscribers have consistently asked me for advance notice of my publishing. I cannot do that in good conscience, as that is too much like insider trading.
How should you use this information, this "portfolio look"?
I know there are many stocks here, and it may seem overwhelming. In 2002, I only had 5 stock picks for the entire year! In 2003, I began to get a bit smarter, and diversify a bit. Diversification from success has continued ever since. See, I try to put the most money (but never more than 10%) into the stocks that I think will go up the most. Very simple, in theory. However, if we are right, and I'm frequently right, we will end up with a "diversification problem". In other words, if my top 10% investment/pick outperforms the rest of the portfolio by 100% better, then it will grow to 20%, and I'll want to sell, to diversify.
For example, about one and a half years ago, I bought about $85,000 worth of Silver Grail in a private placement at $.10 Cdn/share, and then exercised my warrants at $.125 for another $92,000 or so. The stock has been as high as $1. I now have 1.7 million shares, worth about $750,000 at $.50, which is about 58 days worth of average daily trading volume. I can't sell if I wanted to, not right away, because the market is not big enough. But on the other hand, the stock is still cheap at about $7 million market cap, (and the stock is on a dip) and they have many silver properties. There is no way that I'd put $750,000 into the stock at today's price of $.50. On the other hand, if I didn't own it, maybe I'd buy about $100,000 at today's price, to at least "get some", see? So, what I own, and what "I would do now" might be different things. I'm not saying "don't buy it". I'm saying you have to figure out what is right for you. Silver Grail may be a very good value at this level, too. Being able to look at my portfolio can help you to see where my bias may be, since I may want to promote Silver Grail to my large free list, to increase the liquidity, and to help the company if they need to raise money.
I cannot tell you what you should do. I cannot tell you what I would do. I cannot tell you what I'm going to do. I can only tell you "what I have done", hence the nature of this information.
Nevertheless, what might be a good thing for you to do? Here are a few suggestions for different strategies.
1. You can allocate the same amount to each stock, say, $1000 each? (Less than $1000 on a single stock may be unwise if you are paying 1% commission per trade, or $10 per trade.)
2. OR, You can use the list as a "look here" guide, and simply research the companies as if they were tips. Research 5 stocks. Pick the best one. Invest accordingly. Repeat. Soon you will know the companies as if they were your favorite sports teams, but this is a lot more profitable, more productive, and more fun.
3. OR, You can try to begin researching the stocks I've bought most recently, assuming that the newer, the better.
Ultimately, you must always rely on your own judgement, and your own research.
A word about the Silver ETF. I do NOT recommend that you buy it. Buy silver. The ETF is for large institutions, for people who can buy more silver than they can carry or put into a safe. Silver in your own safe is probably more safe than the ETF. (Unless you live in a ghetto or someplace where robberies are frequent.)
If you want another company to hold your silver for you, a practice that I do NOT recommend, I would recommend the following companies:
Anglo Far East Bullion Company
James Turk's goldmoney.com

Traffic is down from last month. This can be explained because I did not send out any emails last month.
I'm spending about $700-1000/day at Google keyword advertising.
We have many other recurring ads at kitco, gold-eagle, goldseek, silverseek, resourceinvestor.com and other precious metal websites.
My ad budget is now just over $35,000/month, and I'm probably spending most of it right now. (850 subscribers at $40/month)
