I'm back! I've been doing a lot of traveling lately and I'm glad to finally settle in for a while. Travel has been good though. I've gotten to blow off some steam and have some fun. But I've also met a lot of great contacts that I'm sure will benefit us all in this upcoming year.

Early in September, I was at the Las Vegas Gold Investment Conference and last weekend I spoke at a gold conference in Toronto. This one was hosted by Joe Martin and Cambridge House. It was nice to meet some of you there. Although I spoke for a little bit, my main reason for going was to visit some of the companies I have invested in and to get more investment ideas. At this moment I have about a dozen promising small-cap gold stocks that I am doing more research on. My plan is to add a few of them to the small-cap list over the next few weeks.
