Many of the top analysts believe we are in a secular bull market in Precious Metals.

Given that background, savvy investors are confronted with numerous different ways to invest given their individual preferences and levels of risk tolerance.

Again, seems many analysts today are recommending having 5% - 10% of your Portfolio in precious metals. So, how does one play this game? You could purchase Gold Bullion, Gold Coins, Mutual Funds, such as the widely respected World Precious Minerals Fund, symbol (UNWPX), the new Exchange Traded Fund (ETF), symbol, GLD, or Gold and Silver mining shares.

Ah, so many choices.

While we offer no specific opinion on the above, all are very good alternatives. We do however, offer you another option for investing:

Warrants

Warrants offer you Increased Leverage over the other forms of investing. So, we ask, if you are only going to "invest" 5% - 10% in the Precious Metals, why not attempt to maximize your investment returns?

You may be asking, what is a Warrant? A Warrant is similar to an option, except a Warrant is usually issued with a life of between 2 years to 5 years. A Warrant gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the underlying stock at a specific price and expiring on a specific date in the future. It is recommended that investors purchase Warrants that have at least 2 years remaining before the expiration.

Yes, there is a risk! If the common stock is trading below the exercise price of the Warrant on the expiration date, the Warrant will expire worthless.

The objective here should be to "invest" in the long-term Warrants trading today. Numerous Warrants trading today do not expire until late 2007, even out to 2010. There are many Warrants trading that will provide incredible Leverage, if we are in a secular bull market . Leverage is what it is all about. An investor should be looking for Warrants that will result in at least a 2:1 Leverage, meaning that if the underlying common stock goes up 100%, the Warrants will appreciate at least 200%.
