Gold and Silver Mining Stocks To Watch: January 17 2012

 

To close out the second trading week of 2012, Gold stocks and Silver Stocks took a hit but survived well after Hecla Mining began the week with bad news of their most productive mine being made inaccessible for most likely the remainder of 2012. Gold futures for February delivery dropped $16.90 to settle at $1,630.80 per ounce with silver futures following suit, down $0.60, to settle at $29.52 on Friday.

Gold is expected to reach $2,000 before the end of 2012. Watch here for an interview this week with one of the stock markets Top Gold Traders.

Gold and Silver Mining Stocks are poised for the European money game currently in play. Governments in the Euro zone are anticipating new turmoil with the debt-crisis saga after reports that Standard & Poor’s plans to downgrade the credit ratings of two of the EU’s six AAA-rated countries. France and Austria are set to be lowered to AA+. Germany will be left as the only large AAA-rated EU country supporting the AAA-rated European Financial Stability Facility.

John Wraith from Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) commented that “To a large degree it’s widely anticipated. However, we think the reality of it is going to have a knock-on, ongoing impact on these markets. It clearly deteriorates still further the credit worthiness of a lot of the European banks and just keeps that negative feedback loop between struggling banks and the sovereigns that may have to support them if things go from bad to worse in full force.”

The following are the prices of 16 of the top Gold and Silver Mining Stocks and the 2 of the most promoted penny stocks as of the close of the stock market Friday, January 13, 2012. Many of them are “hidden gems” in that they are bouncing around near the bottom of their 52-week price range. When you look at the key financial statistics, you can see a company that’s well worth “walking over and picking up.”
