Priggly, are you sure Sprott sold his AUMN shares???? just 12 months after Embry claimed it's a fabulous buying opportunity? This would surprise me a lot from this house, and regarding the cash position of AUMN, they would at least wait for a few months to dump their 660k shares...

The following was posted in the November 18, 2011 issue of Investor's Digest. ( Issued two weeks prior to posted date). This endorsement undoubtedly caused the $1.29 advance on November 3, 2011.

"Yet, this has created some fabulous buying opportunities, one of which is Golden Minerals Co. (AUM-TSX, $7.40).

Golden Minerals has traded as high as $29.50 a share in the past 12 months; so, at its current price, it's available at almost 75 per cent off.

Ironically, since achieving its peak price, Golden has bought ECU Silver Mining on very good terms, giving it potential production in two very prospective areas.

On its own, Golden Minerals had an extensive portfolio of advanced precious metals prospects in both South and Central America.

To this, ECU Silver will contribute some production in Mexico, as well as a lot of potential to grow reserves.

Golden Minerals' management is considered to ber an asset, it has considerable cash on its balance sheet and rumors about of a massive short interest in the stock.

On the next major move up in gold and silver, Golden Minerals could truly become golden."
