58-Year-Old Ft. Lauderdale Millionaire Reveals: How I've Made $4.9 Million Simply By Trading Gold Stocks... ... And why I believe you can do the same, starting today
Dear Reader, Hi, my name's John Doody. I'm 58 years old. And there's only one thing I've ever loved in life... And that's gold. I've personally made a fortune from it. In bull markets and the very worst bear markets too. In the pages that follow, I'll show you how to do the same. I usually wouldn't write a letter like this to you... or to anyone else for that matter. But my friends, family, and the rich folks I've been advising over the years kept insisting that I do. Why? Because now that gold's in a bull market, stock promoters are coming out of the woodwork, left and right, claiming they've got the next gold stock that'll make you a millionaire. Some small gold companies even pay folks to write about and pump their companies. That's why some of my clients have encouraged me to share my secrets with you today... Most of my readers are already wealthy... or have gotten wealthy from the secrets I'm about to share with you. CEOs... billion-dollar money managers... television personalities... and even high-profile executives at the world's richest gold companies... In all, I've helped people make more than $100 million, simply by trading gold stocks. And just to prove I'm not talking up a storm here, let me show you a partial list of the gains we've made in the past 3-4 years:
In fact, if you'd put $5,000 into each of these winning gold stocks, you'd be sitting on more than $244,000 today. Sure, these big winners are nice, but anybody can get lucky with a few big hits. What I'm really proud of is the fact that my recommendations have yielded a total return of 506% over the past 5 years (as of November 2007). In other words, a $25,000 stake in 2002 would now be worth more than $151,000. I don't know of any other investment advisor in the world who's matched this record – if you can find one, I recommend you begin following their advice immediately (and tell me about it too).
In this letter, I'll show you how to make a fortune simply by trading gold stocks. And if you follow my advice, I believe you can make millions. How can I say this? Because I've made my own fortune using the exact same strategy I'll share with you. I'm regularly interviewed by the world's top financial publications (like Barron's, The Wall Street Journal, and the Chicago Tribune), when they want to know what's happening in the gold markets. As a leading authority on gold stocks, my research even reaches the world's biggest and richest brokerage firms, like Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, and Citibank just to name a few. I have three homes, a yacht in Florida, and I vacation all over the world. I don't say this to brag. For my clients who know me, they know that's not my style. I just want to show you I can afford these luxuries for one reason: I learned the secret of trading gold stocks. I can say this with confidence: Many of my recommendations will go up by amazing multiples in the months ahead. But I won't mislead you, like so many stock hypesters out there. You won't get rich overnight. Next week you won't be sitting on a new million-dollar pile of cash. But if you follow my strategy, over the next few years – especially now that the gold bull market is once again upon us – you could easily be a freshly minted millionaire. Let me show you how... $185,000 Profit on One Gold Trade To get you on your way, let me first show my approach with an example of a recent winner... In January 2004, I recommended a small Canadian gold mining company called Yamana Gold (AMEX: AUY). At the time, Yamana owned a few gold mines, with 3 Brazilian mines set to begin production in 2005.
On the surface there was nothing special about Yamana. No massive gold deposits... No buyout possibilities... no headline-worthy stories... But you'll never learn anything about a gold company – especially a small gold company – by reading the newspapers or checking out a few websites. You have to be on the ground... and in the mines... So I flew to Brazil, met Yamana's management team, and inspected the mines firsthand. When I was done, my analysis showed me that its gold reserves were severely undervalued – selling for just $53 per ounce. Said another way, when you bought shares of Yamana you were paying 1/3 of what the company was actually worth. I told my clients to buy at $2.12 per share. Since I recommended it, Yamana has launched to more than $12 per share share. I advised my clients to take their profits off the table at $11.12—that's a 425% gain.
Investors who took my advice could have easily turned $10,000 into a $42,500 windfall in just over 24 months—and many did. I know one client turned $70,000 into a cool $255,000 on this gold stock alone. Yamana's been a key "millionaire maker" for clients too... One client made more than $7.5 million. I know of another investor who profited more than $3 million. Over the past 12 years I've been all over the world investigating the world's most profitable and undervalued gold reserves... I've been 16,000 feet in the South American Andes... deep in the Amazonian rainforests... even to the Arctic Circle and Death Valley, U.S.A. But visiting a company isn't enough. Anyone with a plane ticket and a suit can do that. You have to know the secrets that make a gold company profitable... and you must have the right formula to unlock those secrets... One simple secret to separating Over the past decade, my success trading gold stocks comes down to one simple formula... I won't get into the complexities of it here. You won't have to do any of the number crunching – that's my job. But you should know roughly what it is... and why it is so effective.
The real secret to making money trading gold stocks IS NOT based on the amount of gold a company has in the ground... You see, gold miners all produce exactly the same thing... gold. They don't spend millions on advertising, like Coke or Pepsi, telling you how their gold ounces are unique. But gold stock prices are all over the place.... from $1 per share to over $50 per share. How can you tell if one's a "buy" and another's a "sell"? It's pretty simple really. You have to determine how cheap that gold is – no matter how much is in the ground. In other words, what kind of profit will this company turn when they sell their gold at market value? Finding that out, however, is where most investors and analysts get lost. I publish my findings every month in a gold stock advisory called Gold Stock Analyst. As I've mentioned, my research is often the first place America's biggest and richest brokerage firms look when they want to size up gold stocks. Firms like... J.P. Morgan, Raymond James, and Citibank. Even some of the biggest gold companies have followed my research... Newmont... Goldcorp... and Gold Fields, just to name a few. Inside Gold Stock Analyst, you'll find out which companies are overpriced and should be avoided... And who's cheap and might be worth buying... You see, I dig into the company... its mines, financial statements, and management to see if there are reasons for it to be cheap, or if it's truly undervalued. I continually analyze the entire industry... over 60 stocks... and have developed a proprietary formula not available anywhere else... Then I take the very best gold companies – the ones with the cheapest gold that stand to generate the biggest return in the next 12-24 months – and rank them in a list of the best ten. I call it my Top Ten List. Here's an example from a recent issue...
Over its 12-year history, my Top Ten list has been one of the best performing portfolios in the industry. It's been 5-times more profitable than putting your money solely in gold and 12-times more profitable than the XAU Gold Index during the same period. It gets even better... My Top Ten Portfolio gained a remarkable 81% in 2006. Compare that to the S&P 500's 14% return over the same period... or the 11% return of the Gold Bugs Index... or even the 23% rise in gold prices. (And so far, we're up nearly 30% in 2007). How is this possible? Because the gold stocks I uncover are simply the best and most profitable in the business... 383% Gains in Just Six Months Take Gold Reserve (AMEX:GRZ) for example, which I added to my Top Ten List in December 2005... When I first discovered it, the company owned a massive 10 million ounce gold deposit in South America called Brisas.
A 10 million ounce deposit is huge in the gold business... but in order to make money with a gold stock, you need to know how much the gold is worth and whether or not it's UNDERVALUED. I analyzed financial statements, interviewed top executives, and went down to the Brisas deposit to see it firsthand. I worked the numbers... and reworked them over and over again. You know what I discovered? Its reserves were valued at just $7 an ounce. To put that into perspective, the average value of reserves for the stocks on my Top Ten List was $174 an ounce at the time. That means Gold Reserve was sitting on 10 million ounces of gold that was more than 20-times cheaper than you'd find anywhere else. And therefore, 20-times more valuable. Now, there are many other factors to pricing a company, such as the cost of getting the gold out of the ground... the type of rock or dirt the gold is buried in... I take all of these into account to come up with the exact cost of the gold a company has. Remember, if it sounds complicated, I do all the number crunching for you... Gold Reserve's ounces were still just a tiny fraction of the $500 an ounce market price of gold. I knew this small company was in line to make a fortune. At $2 a share, Gold Reserve was an unbelievable find. In just 6 months time, many of my clients made amazing returns...
Those who took my advice had the chance to make 383% in just 6 months time. My remarkable track record proves this analysis works, and with a lot less risk than buying the little lottery ticket gold stocks that are just a story with no data. I'm the only analyst in this business that provides this quality of research... because frankly, most other analysts aren't willing to put in the travel, work, and analysis it takes to uncover these kinds of opportunities. Simply put, gold stocks are my life... They're how I make a living. That's all I do. And that's the secret to consistently and profitably finding fortunes in gold stocks. You have to know how these companies are valued and be willing to get yourself out into the real world and look at them yourself. The best part is, I do all the work for you... The way I see it, there isn't an easier way to make money... As a handful a subscribers recently wrote me: "...I've made money on every single
recommendation you've made."
"I have made money on virtually all your recommendations."
"I'm an idiot, but thanks to you, a rich one." And we can make gains no matter what the market is doing... How to Make 339% Gains You see, I've been studying how businesses work my whole life... Prior to starting my own gold stock research firm, I was the head of several major businesses. I took over the Phillips Screw Company in the mid-1970s and returned them to profitability. Then I sold it to a boat products company that wanted to go public. In the 1980s, I co-founded a company called SwimEx. As company President, we patented a revolutionary swimming treadmill for people who suffer from chronic back pain.
While undertaking these ventures, I was also a professor of economics and finance at Bentley College, outside of Boston, for 17 years. I tell you these things because my academic and real world experience has helped me understand how businesses work... what makes a strong balance sheet... sound management... and most importantly, what makes money. In other words, I know exactly what to look for in the stocks I recommend because I've seen how businesses work from every angle – not just from a newspaper and surfing a few websites. When I first became interested in gold stocks – in the 1980s – we were in what was probably the worst gold bear market ever. But... I knew if I could figure out the secret to how they worked and how they made money – even in the worst bear market conditions – I could make money whenever I needed it. Said another way, my approach to finding winning gold stocks was originally designed as a way to make money in the worst market imaginable. You see, my strategy is not about jumping on the next hot gold trend or jumping in during a bull market. I look for companies with great businesses and sound management. These companies are some of the SAFEST and most PROFITABLE in any industry, not just the gold industry. These are businesses so good it's almost impossible for them to lose money – even in the very worst bear market. Let me give you a quick example... In 1995 – when gold was doing nothing – I spotted a tiny Vancouver-based company called Bema Gold (NYSE: BGO). You see, Bema was a great company with strong financials. Even better, it was a very undervalued gold stock. I knew it would make money even though the price of gold was going nowhere. I added it to my Top Ten List at $1.44 a share. Over the next 24 months, subscribers watched it launch to more than $6.32 a share. That's a 339% return.
Many of the hottest tech stocks didn't generate those kinds of returns in 1995 -1996. But I don't want you to think that was the only stock that made us money that year. While the price of gold went nowhere in 1995 (it even went down a little), my portfolio earned a solid 35%. By now, you must be wondering if my Top Ten Portfolio performs this well in a bear market... how will it perform in a bull market – like the one we're in right now? That's why I'm so excited and another reason I'm writing you today. As we're experiencing at this moment, a gold bull market will only multiply your gains. That's why it's important to take advantage of this situation immediately... 2,348% Returns in the New It's no secret that we're at the beginning of a major gold bull market right now... Since 2001, the price of gold has gone from $256 an ounce to over $820 (where it roughly stands today). But based on my research, prices are only going higher... How do I know? Just look at what I've found...
All this adds up to what I believe will be skyrocketing gold prices in the coming years. Of course, exactly how high gold will go is impossible to predict. One thing is for certain... a gold bull market will only multiply gold stock gains. And it's not too late to be a part of it. But don't take just my word for it... Time magazine says, "Gold Mining stocks have doubled since early 2003, and most pros expect more gains – for mining stocks and the metal itself." Barron's reports, "For gold mining stocks... this is the buying opportunity of a decade." For example, let's look at a small gold company called Arizona Star (AMEX: AZS). As the current bull market was getting under way – I wrote in Gold Stock Analyst: "We're in a new bull market for gold... We need stocks with good leverage to a rising gold price." I added Arizona Star to my Top Ten List in early 2002. Arizona Star was a small Toronto-based gold miner that owned 25% of a 23 million ounce gold deposit called Cerro Casale. It had no other operations – and thus, no other expenses. This gold stock was the perfect way to play higher gold, because it didn't need to sell shares to keep itself afloat... a common problem with most small miners holding a big property. I told clients to load up at $0.54 a share.
Since then, Arizona Star has reached nearly $13 a share, giving investors the chance to earn 2,348% gains. Because we're in a major gold bull market right now, the stocks in my Top 10 Portfolio could perform at least as well as Arizona Star over the next few years... Now, for the first time ever, I'm making this research available to a wide audience – not just the big wigs on Wall Street. As soon as you sign up for my gold stock advisory – Gold Stock Analyst – you'll have full and immediate access to my Top 10 Portfolio. You'll have the full story on each Top 10 gold stock, including what price to pay... when to buy... when to add to your position... and when to sell. You might be wondering what's on my Top Ten List right now... Let me give you a little taste... My Top Gold Stocks So what companies are in my Top Ten List right now? I've pulled three stocks directly from my Top 10 Portfolio: Top 10 Gold Stock #1 – A Small Gold Miner with Oil and Gas Operations: This has got to be one of the SAFEST and most PROFITABLE gold stocks for 2007 – 2008. Because of a rarely publicized contractual agreement, this firm has taken control of a proven multimillion-ounce gold mine.
I recommended this stock at $0.62 a share. It's already up to $1.60 (don't worry, the big gains are still yet to come). And as word gets out about this agreement, I expect it to go much higher. Plus, it's one of only two gold companies in the world with oil and gas operations (the other is Newmont, the world's 2nd biggest gold producer). The revenue this small company pulls from the sale of oil and natural gas makes the cost of mining gold practically nothing. It's a low-risk gold stock, with huge upside potential. Top 10 Gold Stock #2 – "This Will Be One of the World's Biggest Gold Mines For 2 Straight Years": This company is sitting on a massive multi-layered deposit of gold, copper, and zinc. On the surface of this deposit is a thick cap of gold. When mining begins in just a few short months, it will be the one of the world's biggest gold mines. It will produce 400,000 ounces of gold per year for two straight years -- that's a huge output. Here's the best part... The money made from the gold cap will more than pay for the copper and zinc mining. I see nothing but big profits down the line for this small gold stock. Top 10 Gold Stock #3– Gold Reserves Valued at $137 an Ounce – This company's reserves are just too cheap to pass up right now. I valued its gold at just $137 an ounce. To put that into context, the average gold company's reserves are selling for about $263 an ounce right now. Because it's sitting on what will be a significant silver mine, the current $15 per ounce silver price will allow them to mine its flagship gold deposit for free. Of course, there are still seven more stocks on my Top 10 Portfolio that I want to tell you about, but didn't have time to go over here. As soon as you become a subscriber to my monthly gold stock advisory – Gold Stock Analyst – you'll have immediate access to every stock on my Top Ten List. But how do you know if my gold stock advisory right for you? Here's how you can decide... Become a Subscriber to By becoming a subscriber to Gold Stock Analyst, you'll be alongside some of America's best equity analysts, brokerage firms, and top gold-mining executives. In short, you'll be one of a relative handful of investors that have access to my research... to the kind of picks that have returned:
It's returns like these that have helped my Top 10 Portfolio achieve a total return of 487% over the past 12 years. That's an average total return of 38% a year (15% compounded annually). Compare that to the 6% return on gold prices and 3% return on the XAU Gold Index over the same period... and you'll see what a difference this can make in your finances. And how does my portfolio perform against regular stocks? My Top Ten Portfolio even pummeled the average annual returns of the S&P 500, NASDAQ, and the Dow over the same 12-year period. The point is, most people can't generate consistent returns with gold stocks. I can. And I've proven it for more than a decade. What will people pay to get those kinds of returns for 12 straight years? Well, the only other people I know of who've put numbers like this are a handful of exclusive hedge fund managers. You may get some good advice with these guys, but you'll also pay some hefty fees. Most hedge funds charge 2% of your assets every year, plus a whopping 20% performance fee on their profits – meaning they'll keep 20% of all the money they make you. That means a $25,000 investment can end up costing you several thousand dollars each year in fees. The point is my research, which costs just $595 per year, is remarkably cheap. I have to warn you, however. I don't waste time writing flowery stories in the pages of Gold Stock Analyst. If that's what you're used to, then you're in for a surprise. Wall Street's top analysts don't have time to waste reading that stuff... so I simply present the facts. It's simple to understand. But I'm not going to waste your time or my own writing fiction. This is serious research for serious investors. Just to be clear about something: I'm not a SEC registered investment advisor. The only way I stay in business is by churning out great ideas that consistently make money. That's why more than 25% of my subscribers are professional money managers and mining executives. It's by doing my own inspections — interviewing CEOs and their key personnel, investigating the mines firsthand, and applying my proprietary analysis — that I discover the opportunities you simply won't hear about from your broker or the mainstream press. Well, that's not entirely true. You might hear about it from me in the mainstream press, but it will only be in an interview I'm giving months after my subscribers are already in on the deal. One full year of research includes:
If you're planning on buying even just one gold stock in near future, I think you'd be crazy not to take a look at my research first:
One final note about the work I do... I'm a one-man operation. I have no research team and employ not a single assistant. In fact, I have no employees... and no payroll. I work in a discreet home office about 1,200 miles from Wall Street. And when it comes time for business travel, I go alone. The point is, this is why I'm able to offer my research at such a low price. No expensive offices... no overpaid research team... no unnecessary costs. Again, I believe my research is an absolute steal, considering a small investment in just one of my Top Ten Stocks could pay for your subscription... many times over. Sincerely, John Doody,
