1) Metal ores - gold / silver

Let me try, correct me if i'm wrong

1) looking at SLW, SSRI, CDE, HL, MVG, ABX, GG, NEM, KGC or AU
would think ABX and SLW
2) looking at growth, i would say LRN, market cap APOL, ESI and DV
3) DNA and AMGN
4) ADM and BG
5) got me beat at the moment, will try to research a bit.
