Ed. note:   Today we’re experimenting with adding some more voices to the world of Stock Gumshoe to add a different perspective and cover some sectors in more detail.  We’ve asked longtime reader Myron Martin, who spends a lot of time with junior mining stocks and other small caps, to share his perspective with you — if it works out and our readers find it interesting, we’ll keep this as a monthly feature for the Irregulars, so feel free to let us and Myron know what you think with a comment below.
