~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PGOLD XPRESS UPDATE #003 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >"I get the facts...I study them patiently...I apply imagination." -- Bernard Baruch (1870-1965), legendary financier and adviser to U.S. presidents ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ February 28, 1999 This is the third "irregular" update of PGX since terminating its regular publication schedule. PennyGold is about to sell its 800th unit. So the price will be increasing again soon. >-----NEWS----- Last update, we talked about signs of life for the junior mining market. Here's another... PRESS RELEASE TORONTO, Jan. 27 /CNW/ - In 1997, the Toronto Stock Exchange and the Ontario Securities Commission formed a joint Task Force to set standards for mineral exploration and mining companies as to how expl oration programs should be carried out and the results reported and disclosed. The Final Report of the Mining Standards Task Force contains recommendations on a number of important changes designed to preserve Canada's position as a world leader in mineral exploration development and mining financing. The Task Force's Report will be presented during a news conference at The Toronto Stock Exchange on February 2, 1999. Mining Standards Task Force Co-Chairman John Carson and Ontario Securities Commission Vice-Chair John A. Geller, Q.C., will outline the details of the report at that time. The Minister of Northern Development and Mines for Ontario, The Honourable Chris Hodgson will be in attendance, as will key officials from the Ontario Securities Commission, the Association of Geoscientists of Ontario, Professional Engineers Ontario, Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. ----- BOTTOM LINE FROM ALL THIS? Remember -- there's not much bad news left for the mining industry. But get the government to pronounce that the waters are again safe, mix in some Y2K hysteria in mid-99, and please just throw in one big discovery somewhere, and... ... BINGO? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >-----GREAT IDEA FROM A PERSON INTERESTED IN PENNYGOLD----- I received a great idea from a prospective PennyGolder. He asked for a free trial. When I told him why that was impossible, he said, "Well, why not send out a sample of your newsletters to everyone." >> http://www.goodbytes.com/pennygold/FAQ1.html#TRIAL I explained that I couldn't do that either, but that I could send a sample of the e-mail that we send to PGPers every Sunday, to give him a bit of flavor for what happens "within the Club." Here it is... """""""""START SUNDAY'S E-MAIL TO PENNYGOLD OWNERS""""""""" Hello to all, Busy week, so let's get going... -----REAL-TIME WEEKLY----- RealTime Weekly #056 is up. The price cut-off this week is $0.15, which is our custom for the fourth Sunday of every month. A total of 426 stocks made the cut this week, about the same as previously, but still down significantly from earlier weeks. Still lots of great buying opportunities! :-) Log in now to the Club, download it, and import the data from that file into PennyGold (just click the "Import" button). -----ANOTHER GREAT EXAMPLE OF PG POWER----- January and February have been very rewarding months for PGPers. Below is the best letter I received from this past week. Please, I love to hear about your successes -- send me along your victories. Curious thing -- I have only received a single note about a losing investment -- and I bet that one turns around (at any given time, I'll be holding a couple of "losers" out of 9 or 10 stocks -- they usually reverse -- just a matter of patience if you have done your PennyGold homework well). It is my biggest thrill to hear how well you're doing. So please don't hesitate to tell me. Here's the note... "Ken, what can I say? This is my list of investigations of buys I had done, the date and returns. I did not buy all of them but wish I had! This is fantastic...The ones with a star (*) I bought. CBX......

Ourominas... 98/10/02 from 0.04... to 0.085 = 112% I am not about to retire yet, but this is so much more fun than Canadian equity funds!!! And I'm in control! Thanks!" Stephan Marceau, PG#127, smarceau@inforamp.net -- Toronto, Ontario, Canada Stephan, thank YOU for letting me know. :-) -----PGPer FIND----- I've also posted a new PGPer Find by Irene Dutchak. Log in to the PGPers Club, and then go to the PGPer Finds section to download Irene's file -- check out some of the others while you are there. Remember, these are companies that other PGPers have totally researched already. But now for my usual "broken-record-warning"... "use your own brain, make your own decision." Use PennyGold to cross-check the data. Doing your own homework and making your own decisions is what PG is all about! If you've got a great little stock that you've finished buying, and if you'd like to share it with the other PGPers like Irene just did, and at the same time make a run at the *legendary" GOLDEN PENNY, please export the data on the company and e-mail it to me, as explained in the PennyGold online help. It's a true WIN-WIN situation! -----PGPer FINDS MARKET----- Remember that idea about a "PGPer Finds Market"? Geez, I wish I never started that. :-) I got flooded with e-mail, most very strongly *FOR* this concept. Sorry I couldn't answer your replies to this personally. You know I always do, but there was just too much volume. A few people were concerned about the "Live up to expectations" rule. By that, I do *not* mean that the Finds you submit to the Market MUST go up. Yes, PennyGold does work, but we all understand that nothing is 100% in this world. All that rule means is... "Do a thorough, conscientious job of researching the company, per PennyGold specs. Complet the job to the point that PennyGold generates its full report and PennyGold Barometer Score." We'll proceed with this concept, replacing the existing PGPer Finds system with a more comprehensive market approach... ...as soon as I get a spare nano-second to put it all together. -----PENNYGOLD BOOK UPDATE----- Update #011 is up! This issue summarizes PGPer Digests # 21 and #22. If you just don't have the time to read the Digests, this is an extremely efficient way to "keep up." :-) Especially important in this issue... o Don't miss Rich Ireland's "Technique of the Year." o And Rich added a second great idea for overseas PGPers! There's a lot of great info in there that pushes the envelope on the book, but I love his two points above. :-) Log in to the Club, go to the Update section, download it, and then import it into the Update section of the Book. ----- Phew, it's been busy. Next RealTime Monthly will feature complete research on a company headed by an old friend, an update on a couple of earlier RTMs and two more out of 10 or so companies that I'm looking at. See you next week. All the best, Ken """"""""""""END PGPers SUNDAY E-MAIL""""""""""""""""" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >-----THE PGOLD XPRESS WRAP-UP----- I hope this has helped give you a better feeling for what happens in the PGPers Club. And thanks again to Stephan, for such a wondeful note. The biggest sign that the markets are turning around is that I'm getting these excited letters more and more often. I love getting up in the morning and receiving these e-mails!...
