  A good blog for the big picture. For those interested particularly in gold, base metals and other resource stocks, you may want to check out www.resourceintelligence.net. resourceINTELLIGENCE TV has programming on these based only on the web. Investors watch interviews with mining and exploration companies. Great job though!
