The prices of commodity stocks continue to get crushed in the first couple weeks of the year.
As I see constant red on the screen I am wondering when or if this bear market will ever end?
I tend to look at the current market environment with a glass half full type of attitude. The amount of deals are astounding right now and this is one heck of a buying opportunity in select names if you do the proper research.
I have been focusing on companies with clean balance sheets and immediate upcoming catalysts.
One thing I continue to do in this market environment is invest in myself by consuming as much information as I can.
I continue to spend hours reading press releases, going through company presentations, and listening in on conference calls.
For example today I was listening to presentations from the CIBC 19th Annual Whistler Institutional Investor Conference online. I listened to three presentations this morning on Silver, Base Metals, and Royalty Companies.
This afternoon I will listen in on B2 Gold Corp, Pretium Resources, Tmac Resources, Premier Gold Mines, Detour Gold, and Newmont Mining.

My watch list of companies and knowledge on the sector continues to grow every day.
