The Mining Journal website this week includes the presentation that was given by Ben Davies of Hinde Capital to the Gold Investor Seminar in London.

Mr Davies told delegates that as recently as six years ago, gold was considered a contentious subject. To be labelled a 'gold enthusiast' was at best polite euphemism for 'you are an eccentric', at worst 'you are barking mad'.

Mr Davies says "it is no secret that a group of sophisticated investors has long claimed that the price of gold has been artificially depressed. Unfortunately the mainstream financial world has long denigrated such claims as being the work of conspiracy theorists. But I sense a growing shift in attitudes."

Checking old notes as about to start a new page this morning:

AYX - $1.15 per share, Auryx Gold Group, caught my eye a few days ago in news and movement. If I recall they added two extra drills which is a good sign and look at the share price climb ... moving from 30 cents in July to $1.15 today.

One to watch this week.

An other stock I keep moving forward to a new note page is: AHC-16 cents, Artha Resource Corp; which is a Rare Earth play in Argentina. Somewhere in the past, someone shared with me some exclusive mining reports and darn,I can't find them at this moment. But this stock I noticed gave a small rumble up to 18 cents last week and gut feelings are this is another one to watch.

.............................................

Same thing would apply to TSM - $1.82, Tasman Metals Ltd. who appear to have Rare Earth deposits at the NORRA KARR project in Sweden and recent news caused the stockprice to really move up last week.

The RARE EARTH plays seem to be roaring lately.

Okay, thats it as in one hour, time to watch the Market. Good Luck this week.
