Advisors' Opinion:

• By seekingalpha.com At 2011-9-7
  With mining assets in South Africa, the company runs operations from exploration through to smelting.
  Shares are trading at $4.23 at the time of writing, toward the bottom end of their 52-week trading range of $3.96 to $6.23. At the current market price, the company is capitalized at $162.80 million. Earnings per share for the last fiscal year were $1.21, placing the shares on a price to earnings ratio of 3.49. It paid a dividend of $0.06 last year (a yield of 1.40%) which was covered over 20 times by its earnings.
  It has the lowest price-to-earnings ratio of the gold mining stocks, though its share price is being held back by recent employee unrest in the region. There is room for the company to increase its well-covered dividend, and that should be attractive to income investors. With gold prices increasing, and production costs likely to remain stable, DRDGold could be a stock worth investing in for the gearing that the safe haven value of its gold reserves offers to its potential earnings.

Majestic Gold Corp. (MJS.V)
Since the beginning of recorded history, gold has been used in ornamentation, jewelry, and sculptures around the world. However, gold is not just used to make jewelry; it also has plenty of lesser known uses. For example, gold is used to make dental fillings, coins, circuitry, and much more.
Majestic Gold Corp. engages in the exploration and development of mineral properties in China. The company focuses on its gold project located in the prolific gold region of Song Jiagou in eastern Shandong Province. Majestic Gold Corp. is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada.
The industry uses of gold include making thread for embroidery, special reflective layers on expensive CDs, and insulation for automobiles. In photography, gold toners are used to alter the color of prints. Gold is used to make a protective coating on many artificial satellites because it is a good reflector of electromagnetic radiation. It is also used to make thermal protective faceplates for astronauts.
Majestic Gold Corp. is pleased to provide a progress update on the new mill construction for the company’s flagship Song Jiagou project.
The mill is in the commissioning stage a! nd has b egun running ore through the mill in order to access the efficiency of the mill. Majestic expects to run at an initial throughput rate of 3,000 tonnes per day and progressively move upwards towards full capacity of 6,000 tonnes per day once the mill is running at optimal efficiency.
In medicine, gold salts can be used to treat conditions like arthritis due to their anti-inflammatory properties. In dentistry, gold alloys are used for restorations like crowns and permanent bridges. Owing to its malleability, gold produces results that are more satisfactory than those produced by porcelain crowns. Colloidal gold is used in research in the fields of medicine, biology, and materials science.
Ore that has been stockpiled at the new mill in order to streamline the commissioning process is currently being processed as part of the commissioning stage. In addition, Majestic is pleased to announce that the tailings dam is fully completed and all tailings lines and water return systems are in place and now in use.
They are excited by the prospect of getting the new mill on line and being in a position to significantly increase production levels. This represents a significant milestone in their transition from exploration to production.

National Health Partners, Inc. (NHPR)
Health care costs have been rising for several years. As health care costs continue to rise, there has been steady erosion in the proportion of workers covered under employer-based plans, as well as in the adequacy of such coverage. Workers forced to turn to the individual insurance market often find coverage unaffordable or unavailable, while families with employer coverage face ever-rising deductibles and other cost-sharing burdens.
National Health Partners, Inc. is a national healthcare savings organization that provides discount healthcare membership programs to uninsured a! nd under insured people through a national healthcare savings network called “CARExpress.” CARExpress is one of the largest networks of hospitals, doctors, dentists, pharmacists and other healthcare providers in the country and is comprised of over 1,000,000 medical professionals that belong to such PPOs as CareMark and Aetna.
The runaway cost of health care has long been a concern, largely because of the huge number of Americans — estimated at 47 million — who are uninsured. But health-care costs are re-emerging as an economic and political issue in part because of the role they play in the stubborn problem of stagnating wages.
The company’s primary target customer group is the 47 million Americans who have no health insurance of any kind. The company’s secondary target customer group includes the millions of Americans who lack complete health insurance coverage. The company is headquartered in Horsham, Pennsylvania.
National Health Partners, Inc. recently announced that it has signed a new agreement with a major marketing company that will significantly enhance the growth of its CARExpress membership base.
According to the Company, this deal, in combination with the previous partnership with Xpress Healthcare, will enable the company to build its membership base exponentially, initially generating in excess of an additional 2,000 new members per month. The new campaign is set to launch within the next few weeks and will provide a material positive impact on the company’s 2nd quarter sales.
National Health Partners anticipate that this new marketing agreement will provide a major impact on their overall sales not only for the 2nd quarter, but more importantly for the year. They look forward to building on the profits that they anticipate generating in 2011 that will be driven by substantial growth in sales of their CARExpress health discount programs. The combination of their substantial growth with their low price-to-equ! ity rati o should reflect itself in the price of their stock over the coming months.

5 Great Stocks For February 2012:Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (POT)

 Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. produces and sells fertilizers and related industrial and feed products primarily in the United States and Canada. The company mines and produces potash, which is used as fertilizer. It also offers solid and liquid phosphate fertilizers; animal feed supplements; and industrial acids that are used in food products and industrial processes.

Potash Corporation was founded in 1953 and is based in Saskatoon, Canada.
Advisors' Opinion:

• By Vita At 2012-2-23
  People need to eat. Potash increases the yield of fertilizer. And in an overpopulated world with people moving into urban areas (less farmers feeding more mouths), demand will spike for whatever can increase that yield. Potash's stock is closely correlated to prices of the product Potash. It's worth noting that the stock represents billionaire financier George Soros's third largest position. Goldman Sachs just raised its rating on the the stock, saying "Investors are likely underestima! ting the 2012 US demand recovery that could see staggering yoy [year-over-year] percent increases in volume given the depth of the 2011 reduction and the atypically weak fall consumption levels."
• By Fabian At 2011-10-29
  Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan (POT) produces fertilizers, agricultural
  chemicals and feed products — primarily its namesake “potash,” or potassium carbonate mixed with other nutrients. Though this company is down dramatically from its highs in 2008, I think POT has bottomed out and now investor sentiment is turning around.
  For instance, Potash’s moved 1.1 million tons of crop nutrients in the fourth quarter, which was down compared to the previous quarter, but the 23% slide was a dramatic improvement over the 65% decline for the full year. Potash has been struggling to find a right production target, and I feel like the company is close to an effective target.
  What’s more, potash prices could be on the rise globally after leading exporter Belarussian Potash Co. boosted prices by more than 6% in Brazil and Asia. That means companies like POT can also command a higher price — and deliver bigger profits going forward.
• By Sam Collins At 2011-9-9
  Canadian integrated fertilizer and feed products company, Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan (NYSE: POT), has been in a bull market since late 2008. Since then, it has risen from $18 to over $63.
  It is the world’s largest diversified fertilizer company and, thus, in a unique position to supply the needed nutrients to grow crops for Third World countries that are in need of grain products. Several research analysts have recently raised their opinion on POT from “hold” to “buy,” including Canaccord Genuity and Gleacher & Company. POT has also been the subject of takeover rumors, but thus far, nothing has developed.?
  Technically, the stock is in a long-term bull market. In December, POT broke out from a five-month consolidation, and last week, our in-house Collins-Bollinger Reversal (CBR) indicator issued a buy signal along with a buy from the slow stochastic. The two-month target for POT is $72, but it can be bought as a long-term position, as well.?
