If QE3 is indeed on the horizon, then one may consider to add these gold miners, which have currently reached its resistance and in an oscillation range.


I have 23 gold and silver mining companies on my watch list, and based on 10 year financial data; there are only 3 gold miners which fulfilled my two crucial criteria (and slew of others which I will not bore you with here) of uptrend in earnings per share over the recent years and possessed reasonable margin of safety. But please due your own due diligence first, factoring fundamental and technical analysis.
