Here is a new series that we may or may not keep up with, depending on how much time we have and reader feedback. It is called Grounding the Hype and tries to analyze and deflate excessive hype in metals and mining. We’ve done this type of thing already with our commentaries in the past such as covering Paramount Gold and Silver and more recently Premium Exploration.

We are not going to make money that way and we want everybody to know that.
