Why You Should Own Gold and Silver Mining Stocks and Warrants

It seems to me many Canandian junior mining companes may be pink sheets in the US market. Does that make a difference in any way? I tend to agree with the author when the stock is not listed in the U.S. However it is a higher commission for the discount broker to purchase on the TSX.
