order of preference I like EDV - AUY - NG, the others suck bigtime.
"the why" has everything to do with the uptrend, accumulation and chart patterns ... the three I like are consolidating in mid-air (except for EDV because we keep talking about it) and they need to be bought again-- add more.
-- but there is one wild-card I will add to the list;
Linear Gold (LRR-TSX)...!
It's got everything you would want in a gold stock speculation-- it's assets are in North America, great drill results and technically it has a trading channel a mile wide with a basing pattern that's more than two months old.
Buy, and buy it with both hands. <vbg>
