BANRO Corp (BAA)

CAPS Rating:
****

The Company is a Canadian-based gold exploration company focused on the exploration and development of gold projects.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Hard assets in the long run are the only values that will survive his ineptness and will decline in relative value along with everything else.

I had picked this stock for myself almost two years ago, when it was doing nothing. Hopefully, if its holdings in the Congo start picking up, it may do well. Besides, it's GOLD.

This stock like many juniors hasn't tracked the price of gold. So despite gold's decline I see no impact on the stock price. Chinese investment in the democratic republic of the congo should stabilize the political situation...in addition Banro's management team is by far superior to most juniors/explorers. I personally bought March 20th @ 9.29 a share and will continue to add to my position in the near term.

Gold and silver have taken a sudden drop during the past week. Many speculators are panicing and claiming that this is the end of the "commodity bubble". I don't think so. If you look at the fundamental reason behind the last 6 months rise in precious metals, you have to ask yourself....has anything changed? I don't think so. The Fed continues to pump liquidity into the market, the interest rate continues to decline, inflation continues to increase and the dollar continues to fall. That being said....if due to demand decreases oil drops sharply from here...there is a possibility that precious metals will follow. Precious metals will experience quite a bit of volatility and the gyrations may be tough to handle but I think due to the fundamentals that I mentioned above that a year from now precious metals will be much higher.

This is basically a bet we are in a gold bubble.

Bush has totally screwed up the American and world economies. Hard assets in the long run are the only values that will survive his ineptness and will decline in relative value along with everything else. Remember his dream that every American have a house to call home? Now every American may face the strong possibility of a foreclosure and his or her savings being wiped out in bank and brokerage failures. To begin it all, he encouraged ARM's and tied the interest rates to the LIBOR rate which the federal reserve cannot even control and which operated in a higher interest ratge environment. Then the federal reserve for many months raised it funds rate and added to the acceleration of interest rate increases. The purchasers were suckers. Then start a war needing increased borrowing by the government and guaranteed to accelerate world oil prices, which benefitted Bush's friends enormously to the extent that even temporary oil oversupply does not even reduce the price for fuel. Watch the dollar fall, picking the pocket of all Americans not having savings in foreign denominated savings. Then make the bankruptcy process much harsher, to squeeze the last penny out of destitute borrowers. This, my friends, is the Bush economic miracle at work. The American bubble has burst.
