I'm back! After spending September & October in and out of medical care, I'm happy to say that I am on the mend and intend to resume my regular posting schedule here on CommonStock. Junior miners have had a tough time this fall, so my health probably chose a good time for me to go MIA...apologies for going AWOL!

Sharing THREE podcast links for commodity investors to enjoy this weekend:

My good Twitter friend @jleqc passed this one onto me, as we are both fans of Porter Collins who you can follow on Twitter @seawolfcap. If you aren't familiar with Porter, he was featured in The Big Short:

Found this gem through one of my favourite Twitter follows and micro cap mentor @iancassel:

In this episode, William Green talks with Chris Davis, a renowned investor at Davis Advisors who also serves on Berkshire Hathaway’s board of directors. Here, Chris shares powerful lessons he’s learned from his mentors—Warren Buffett & Charlie Munger—about building financial resilience, learning from our mistakes, avoiding our weaknesses, harnessing trust, & flourishing as we age.

I can't believe I have only recently made a habit of checking the content on MiningStockEducation.com - Bill Powers often has some fantastic interviews and David Erfle is always a favourite guest (juniorminingjunky.com). I enjoyed this one so much that I actually listened to it 3x - I hope you enjoy it too!

In this interview pro mining investor David Erfle provides his commentary on the gold price and junior gold stock sector. He explains why he believes the junior miners have already capitulated and that a slingshot move upwards is coming. David Erfle is a self-taught mining sector investor. He stumbled upon the mining space in 2003 as he was looking to invest into a growing sector of the market. After researching the gains made from the 2001 bottom in the tiny gold and silver complex, he became fascinated with this niche market. So much so that in 2005 he decided to sell his home and invest the entire proceeds from the sale into junior mining companies. When his account had tripled by September, 2007, he decided to quit his job as the Telecommunications Equipment Buyer at UCLA and make investing in this sector his full-time job. David founded the Junior Miner Junky subscription-based newsletter in April, 2017 and writes a weekly column for precious metals news service Kitco.com, whose website attracts nearly a million visits every day.
