Product Description

Product Description
The prospect of instant riches gives the mining sector an obvious glamour. And when the mining sector begins to run it can be an awesome sight and the excitement generated can be every bit as seductive and heady as that which enveloped markets during the internet boom. But due to the counter-cyclical nature of many mining stocks, they can also offer a valuable refuge when stock markets turn down. In this book, Michael Coulson gives a masterly overview of the sector, explains both the rewards and the pitfalls of investing in mining shares and argues convincingly that mining should once again form a core sector for all investors. The book is for anyone interested in mining, and particularly mining as an investment. Whilst it contains material which will be useful to even experienced followers of the sector, its main target is those who are interested in mining but perhaps not particularly familiar with the sector, and would like to know more. All the subjects are covered that are fundamental to acquiring sufficient knowledge about the mining sector to invest in it with confidence. While the mining sector's global focus is both educational and rewarding, on a more basic level the sector has been (indeed still is) enormous fun to follow and invest in. This book reflects that and also provides some thoughts as to how this fun can be turned to profit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, investors need more books like this one - buy it!, 7 Feb 2009
By C. MUMMERY (Örnsköldsvik, Sweden) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For the price, this is well worth buying by any serious investor. And given gold's stellar performance since the meltdown of 2008, a must read. I enjoyed the book immensely and found it an easy, relaxing read. Mr. Coulson summarizes the essentials of mining stocks without getting long winded and has an enjoyable writing style. My only criticism would be that he doesn't discuss the implications of joint ventures in any depth. I'm always reading that company abc has taken a 30% stake of company xyz's project but have never been too sure what it could mean for the stock price. A little more detail on the mechanics of joint ventures would have helped a lot (hence I deducted one star). I hope future additions will expand on such things. I little more on the interpretation of exploration reports would also have been good to read between the lines of exploration jargon.

I just wish other analysts in other sectors would write similar books since so many of us could benefit from their experience (harridan house seem to have found a niche in this area).

In summary: if you're about to buy a mining stock or fund, invest in this book first.
