Sector Articles
People have been saying it for a long time now, but the fact is that this prolonged bear market has thrown up some nice-looking opportunities across all indices and sectors – but especially in the smaller-cap sector. The flight of investors large and small has left a number of quality performers on fetching-looking ratings, some of them ridiculously low.

Gold has been testing $300 again in a troubled international scene. Shares have been mixed, although Harmony (HRH) at 787.25p and Durban Roodepoort at 241p are decently ahead of last week's mentions. Rio Tinto (RIO) and Antofagasta (ANTO) have been lacklustre, as has Cluff Mining (CLU), ahead of imminent reserve news. But there is lively action among some of the smaller counters.
Read
Majors have outshone mining minnows of late, with Rio Tinto strong at £13.46 and worth holding, Antofagasta 18p up on last week at 550p and also one to keep, Lonmin is 36p up at £10.78, while Harmony is 15.5p up at £5: both should go further.
In contrast, Tertiary Minerals is nearly 4p off at 18.5p, despite prospects, but should recover, and other smaller shares are off. Griffin Mining has gained 0.75p to 5.5p on Chinese prospects and should go better. Punters await imminent news from Gold Mines of Sardinia.
