Brian Leni: Gold Stocks Now the "Most Glaring" Bull Market Opportunity

Brian Leni, founder of Junior Stock Review, shared his thoughts on sentiment in the resource sector, saying it's probably the worst he's ever seen. In his view, that's an indication that a turnaround is on the way.

"I think we've got to be near a bottom," he told the Investing News Network (INN) on the sidelines of this year's Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention.

In the near term, Leni believes gold stocks present the "most glaring opportunity" for a bull market.

"The debt's rising, you have problems in Europe and the Middle East ... so I think there's every reason to think that the gold price and the silver price are going to stay in this range," he explained.

In terms of where he's focusing, Leni said he's moved a lot of money into prospect generators and hybrid prospect generators. In the hybrid model, a company with five projects might option four out and keep one for itself.

He mentioned Aurion Resources (TSXV:AU,OTCQX:AIRRF) in Finland as a stock he's interested in.

"They've been drilling their own property there, but it looks like the value right now that's going to catch the market's attention is actually in their joint venture project, Helmi, with B2Gold (TSX:BTO,NYSEAMERICAN:BTG)," he said.
