As the end of the year approaches it's time to pick where our rewards will be in 2007. My hot picks are already starting to perform but have much further to go IMO. SOLA, EPY and CCH.

Zscrooge, interesting comments about NDH. Thanks for posting. I thought it looked a bit too risky yesterday and am glad I didn't buy, as I was sorely tempted at one point.

However, it's good to see those earnings projections and I would certainly consider this as one for the longer term.

I was a bit worried about their cash position, too, as they didn't seem to have very much of it, and the net value of the firm wasn't much, either - about 1.2 mil or something, which doesn't look good when the mkt cap is over 20 mil.

Watch and wait, I guess.

My tip for 2007 must be KYS. the ~istan republics of the former USSR are known to have large deposits of minerals and the countries that are stable enough and allow foreign investment should now be able to reap the rewards. I also feel that the uranium band wagon may well be this years theme[ after oil + gas explorers last year]. WTFDIK DYOR etc. and good luck

CDN rising nicely-I bought today after a recommend from a friend who has them as his future mortgage pay off! Also EBP is undiscovered yet and is paying a very good div.-ex d May 11th. and finally I'm late in but I have high hopes for TMC the potential looks massive.

This is potentially a long term hold, but also a solid one with the acquisition of Agil, plus the added spice of the massive 'Aquatice' market, not only in China, but worldwide.

TMC, TMC, TMC, TMC, TMC, TMC, TMC, One of my picks in Jan.

THR,THR,THR,THR,THR,THR,THR, Another of my picks in Jan.

COIL,COIL,COIL,COIL,COIL,COIL, The last of my picks in Jan.

TMC up from 130p to 277.5p
THR up from 8p to 18.5p
COIL 10 shares to 9 XTR up 30% on merger.

congrats oily--keep it up!!

AMBR - up 35% in a couple of months. There could be more to come as profits were up 35% last year but PE is still only 9. PDYOR. etc.

Oily -which are your losers?

Hi zscrooge, My post was entry 68 on this thread on page 4 if you would like to read it yourself. GGG Central China Goldfeilds was my only other recommendation and this has made a comeback today, almost at year begining level. I did also mention a list of e&p companies that I hold, but as I didn't elaborate on them they were not recomendations but where I'm was in, at that time. Thanks for the tip of GVC it helped me to second place this month in the Hemscott stock challenge behind my mate Malcolm. Good luck and keep the tips coming.

Nice one oily. It was your associations with SEO that made me wonder ;-)

TMC was certainly on my radar just before xmas -maybe peaking?

My time seems to be spent watching shares rise thinking "i've missed the boat there" (TAN, RCG, CCT, COH all at around 3-4 times less than they are now.)

Really like the look of GNG now.

See JT Cod blog on the darkside for quality postings.

Good luck.

zscrooge, sorry to to say I've had this before. Mistaken identity, oilywag is associated with SEO. I'm oilyrag and have not posted on that thread or owned SEO shares.

GVC got an "Avoid" rating in Shares Mag this week. Heavy losses (due to a goodwill writeoff) plus the threat of a german ban on internet gambling plus flat revenues have made this a watch & wait share. New CEO is to upgrade their software & advertising strategy, but GVC only in early stages of recovery.
Of course, that is only their opinion amongst many.

Ah -apologies Oily - obviously smart enough to avoid SEO.

Harry -we will see.

Morning MP.

Seen Southampton Leisure (i.e. the football club)? (EPIC: SOO) Up 34% on Friday, news of a bid approach.

Potential bid value, 50 mil; current mkt cap 18 mil. Could well be worth a punt.

As a life long Saints fan, for my sins, I am really excited about the potential of the proposed bid, but surely it all depends on winning promotion through the play offs.

Reasons to buy GGG.

1. Nimu from the information to date indicates a very large find of copper.
GGG have outlined they are to inform the market with Drilling results every 3 weeks, from May through till December.

2. Snow Mountain is to have outlined over 1 million ozs in gold.

3. Over 4.5m in cash in the bank

4. Great Management team.

5. Strong demand for stock.

6. A number of institutions are watching GGG to review drill results from NIMU before committing.

7. Chart is trending nicely - upwards.

If i have missed anything feel free to add - My price Target 50p by December!

RGM powering up.

Johnma, thanks for the summary on GGG. Have bought this morning. I would, suggest being wary of the long lead times and scope for disappointment that can go with the mining industry, however I think that GGG has good prospects.

Well IPL was one of my stocks to double in 2007, and its presently up around 65% and rising, so hopefully the 100% is not far away now.

Why is it up 11p today, PP?
