Western Copper Holdings, which despite its name is mainly a silver play. (Silver also suddenly broke out on the upside on Friday. It's even more a subject of analyst laughter than gold, but that may finally be changing too.)

You can take your pick between the larger, more liquid companies like Agnico Eagle and Goldcorp, or you can take a flyer on some of the Canadian juniors. The problem, I am finding, is that most of them are trading most actively on the TSX (Toronto Stock Exchange). Many are also traded on the COMEX junior exchange, but as I found with Western Copper the prices are slower to be posted there.

I also like Silverado Gold Mines, which is smaller than some of the better known mines but seems to be more liquid and therefore easier to get in and out of without large price swings.
