I normally avoid the too-pricey stocks, or put them on a watch list and see if they possibly come back down. Also, I'm not a trader. It doesn't fit my personality. I find trading too stressful.

Hi Don, I own several of these. While I wasn't planning on adding at these stretched prices. Would your strategy be to sell, take profits and move into stocks that have not moved yet, or just hold for further gains?

Perfect Don. Thanks. It's great to see some ASX-listed miners, two of which are already on my watchlist :) Have you got a table of gold and/or silver junior and mid-tier miners with greater potential for gains on your substack? If not, is that something you might be willing to do at some point for the community?

I am really enjoying the gains seen since last week on $IVR:ASX (Investigator Resources). I think I recall seeing that one on a list you released earlier this year.

Edit: I am of the view that we may get a slight pullback (one last one) to ~1950 on spot gold before it shoots off towards ~2500 to complete a complex reverse head and shoulders measured move on the daily timeframe (pattern visible since March '22 to the present day). What are your thoughts on price projection?

You can check my other lists on Substack. There is a silver miner list and an optionality list, plus a dev list, and others, You will find some mid-tiers. I like these Aussie mid-tiers:

Regis

Westgold

Ramelius

Silver Lake

St Barbara

Red Lake

You asked about IVR. I recently bought it because there are so few silver plays in Australia. My guess is that if they do build the mine is will get a high multiple.

West African Resource not on pricy list. WAF is not Top pick either. So not good time to buy WAF and not good time to sell WAF as it is underperforming when compared with its peers.

If an investor wants to write covered calls against miners to take advantage of the high premiums they offer, the above list essentially excludes all the best candidates. I realize that writing covered calls on gold miners is the equivilent of trying for a bunt single, when tape measure home runs are available from some of the juniors, but it is a viable srategy for some situations.

Writing calls gives away the upside. That makes no sense. It is like renting out your home to strangers on weekends. WDO is beaten down with much more than 100% upside. AGI is up strong and will go up more.

Yup, sometimes it's ugly when I pick a winner and then give away the upside if it spikes higher. But I'm generating income in both up and down markets.

nice list, but i think their upside depends on how high the gold price goes...
