Gold Stock Investing Made Simple

Finding the Top 10 Gold Stocks Gold Stock Analyst (GSA) is a newsletter which makes it simple for investors to own a portfolio of the best gold stocks. Published twice a month since 1994 by a former Professor of Economics and Finance (Bentley College in Waltham, MA), GSA focuses on the 60 gold and 15 silver miners that have ounces that meet the US Security and Exchange Commission's strict reporting standard for Proven and Probable Reserves. From those meeting this standard, GSA crunches numbers, dissects SEC filings, visits mines, talks and visits with management. All this searching for the Top 10 Stocks... those that are undervalued and have the potential to double in the next 18 to 24 months, assuming no change in gold price. In today's era of $10 internet trades, the transaction cost to hold 10 stocks is trivial... even if gold is only 10% of your total portfolio. Ten stocks is the right number for this volatile sector. It's a small enough so a big gain in one will have major impact on the total portfolio... one stock doubling boosts the portfolio 10%. Yet ten is large enough that even if one fell 50%, it would cut the portfolio's total value by just 5%. The discipline of 10 stocks means an addition must be seen having better upside than the current members of the Top 10. Since we seek undervalued stocks that can double at the current gold price, the "better upside" is a high hurdle and gives the discipline needed to achieve superior results. Top 10 Results GSA's track record proves the approach works. No gold mutual fund or advisory can match the Top 10 Stocks' performance! For the 9 years of this Millennium, 2000 through 2008, here are the Top 10's results compared to other investment benchmarks: New Paradigm The current financial crisis and its solution, soaring government budget deficits and central banks running printing presses overtime, has shifted investment fundamentals back to those of the 1970s and 1980s era. In the years ahead, we believe the general stock market, as evidenced by the S&P500, will again be outperformed by Gold. We expect Gold stocks to be one of very few market sectors to outperform. And if history repeats, GSA's Top 10 stocks should do even better. Professional Grade Gold Stock Analyst is Professional Grade research, as evidenced by 25% of subscribers being employed in investment related businesses. From Fleckenstein to Tocqueville to US Global to Fidelity, the pros see GSA as a must-have tool. And frankly, writing for this audience can make our work a little too complicated for some individual investors. But all investors really should care about is results, and that's where GSA's Top 10 delivers! In every issue, the Top 10 Stocks portfolio, it's year-to-date performance, and any changes made (we make about six trades a year) are found on Page 2. We give very clear alerts and all you have to do is follow our changes. Here's a sample from June 2006... not the current Top 10: And, if you're like the professionals and want more information on the Top 10, it's all there in the first-of-month Issues, the mid-month Updates, and the Company Reports which we fully update twice a year. For your convenience, the last three years of Issues and Updates are posted in the Subscribers' Area so you can review our past articles, reports, and comments. Getting Started To get started, we suggest putting half of your gold investment, in equal amounts, in each of the Top 10. Invest another 25% in around 30 days and add the balance as opportunities arise. After invested, simply follow our guidance; Buy/sell as we suggest in the monthly Issue or mid-month Update. If you want more information it's all there in the Top 10 Updates and Comments every issue. If you already own other gold stocks that report Reserve ounces to the SEC's standards, you'll get our opinion and on-going coverage of them too. GSA follows the entire industry as that's the only way to know if a stock is undervalued, and we can like any stock at a certain price. If a big fund changes its managers and dumps a position, we might like the stock at the new lower price and since we already know it, we can immediately react to make it Top 10 if justified.
