Sorry to hear Flinders.I think unfortunately there are many sharks out there.You will find they want people to come in and gamble on speculative mining companies so they can transfer wealth.What I am seeing over the last few years is a moving away from people speculating and going more into value investing.The reason is the returns have been very good because it is a misunderstood area.If you put a good portion of your money in a speculative mining company it is not a sure thing because there is no way to value the business until it is in production.So is it worth 1c or $1 it could be either just flip a coin. Where as if you are buying a business with physical assets and profits with cash flow it is more tangible.
