This Week on StockHouse

Friday, October 27, 2006By Sean Mason
Uranium prices could be set to soar according to Venture Friday columnist Don Whiteley, who wonders if "peak uranium" is far away.
Also on StockHouse this week:
StockHouse launched a new daily feature this week. Sean Mason reports on news that moved small and micro-cap stocks in the Canadian Small- and Micro-Cap Stock Report.
Buzz on the BullBoards this week encompassed exploration companies and trust issues. Sean Mason's column featured discussion about mining technologies, income trusts, and speculating on drill results.

StockHouse was proud to launch its brand new IPO Digest, from 24/7 Media columnist Jon Ogg. The digest is a review and preview of the week's new stock offerings.
Metals and mining
Mongolia is hot for mining issues, says columnist Danny Deadlock in Microcap Monday, citing Rio Tinto's recent investment in Ivanhoe Mines. He's looking at a junior that explores for uranium.
Uranium is also the subject of this week's Venture Friday column by Don Whiteley. Is "peak uranium" so far away?
Some metals in particular are seeing sharp increases in price, thanks to a supply/demand imbalance. Uranium is one such metal, but Luke Burgess believes demand for high-quality manganese ore should drive producer prices higher in Pure Metals.
Meanwhile, the gold price could move even lower according to columnist Michael Berry in Discovery Investing.
But, opposing opinions are what makes a market. Steven Saville argues long-term trends, like the bull market for gold, end when valuations reach extremes.
And, in Best of the Blogs, Editor Keri Korteling describes one blogger's view on miners as value investments.
