GamblingPenny mining stocks are gambles. They are high rish, high reward gambles. The TSXV is a casino. If you can't afford to lose you shouldn't being playing. You are not going to win every hand. If you are good you will win more than you lose. I have lost many hands in my day but have made far more than I have lost so I'm still playing.
In my opinion NFG is a good long term gamble. The amount of gold in the ground, the location and the escalating value of gold all favor the gamble. Anyone who disagrees can sell and move along. Bitter losers get shown the door.
