Hi,
My name is Brian Chu.
I’m a fund manager, investment analyst, and writer.
Lots of people are asking me what they should do with their money at the moment.
The ASX 200 doesn’t feel right to them.
Cryptos are too unpredictable.
Real estate takes too long and ties up too much money.
And as for cash? Your purchasing power is being eaten up by inflation every day it sits in the bank.
There is one quick pivot you could make.
Something you can do quickly...without radically changing the way you invest...
Something that looks like a shrewd defensive play...but is actually a bold growth strategy...
An asset that has gone up more than gold in previous times of financial panic and inflation...
I like this niche so much, I’ve sunk 85% of my family’s money into it.
And I am generally risk-averse by nature...
Well, I was...until I more than tripled my money in this niche over the last eight years.
It’s not gold...
But it is a play on gold going up in response to rising inflation and growing economic uncertainty.
In this letter I’ll show you:
Let me begin with a quick introduction.
You already know my name.
I recently moved to the Southern Highlands of New South Wales with my wife and two-year-old son (lockdown in a Sydney suburb was FUN, as I’m sure you can imagine!).
Like many people with young families, I spend a lot of time looking at our finances.
There’s nappies, food, toys, and clothes when they’re a toddler.
Then there’s school fees, holidays, and entertainment as they grow up.
Before they make their first buck as an independent person, you’ll have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars — willingly, of course!
It’s a lot to think about and plan for.
And it’s why I don’t want to just blindly take risks with my money, especially not on fad investments or get-rich-quick schemes.
That’s what led me to gold.
And more specifically, to the niche investment I want to tell you about today.
A lot of people are shocked when I tell them I’ve invested 85% of my family’s wealth into this type of gold investment.
But personally, I don’t think what I’ve done is high-risk.
Because I know these investments inside and out.
In fact, I run an investment fund dedicated solely to this niche.
It’s called The Australian Gold Fund.
As far as I know, The Australian Gold Fund is the only private investment vehicle of its kind in the country.
Which is bizarre — when you consider that Australia is now the largest gold producer in the world.
And gold demand is at its highest level in two years.
I believe demand for the precious metal will continue to flourish in 2022 (it grew 10% in 2021 alone).
And that the gold price will move up with it.
This is typically what happens when inflation reduces the purchasing power of paper money.
And as I write, inflation is growing at its fastest pace in Australia since 2014.
But as worrying as inflation is...and as good a store of value as physical gold is...I’m not writing to convince you to buy it (or more of it).
And I think you should take a look at it.
In previous times of economic turmoil, this niche gold investment has amplified the returns made by physical gold many times over.
For example, when the Federal Reserve pumped newly created money into the US economy after the 2008 global financial crisis, gold did really well.
It went up 57% in two years.
But some Australian ‘niche gold’ investments did much better.
Over the same period...
Now, past performance is not a reliable guide to future results. Not every niche gold investment goes up as much as these did.
But this is exactly what can happen to these kinds of investments...
Especially at times when the economy is uncertain, trillions of dollars are being pumped into economies to stimulate them and inflation is building.
That’s why 85% of my family’s money is currently invested in a handful of these gold-related investments.
With great results so far...
This (figure in green) is the performance of my fund, The Australian Gold Fund, since its inception in August 2019 up to 18 January 2022:
Looks like I’m onto something, with ‘niche gold’, right?
And I think we’re just getting started.
Like I said, there are no direct competitor funds in Australia.
So I have to measure my fund’s performance against the major indices instead.
And — even though I don’t get every pick right — I’ve trounced them.
Is there better to come for ‘niche gold’ investments?
Yes, I believe so. And I’ll tell you why in the rest of this letter.
But in a nutshell, I’m looking to add to my positions over the coming 12 months.
And I’m inviting you to come along for the ride...
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, I’d be happy to share my gold investment strategy and model portfolio with you.
You can even get started today with five niche gold investments I’ll tell you about in a newly updated research report I’ll send to you by email.
It’s called: ‘Five Buys for Your Niche Gold Portfolio’.
You can copy my strategy position-for-position if you like.
You don’t need to invest as much as I have.
You could pivot into this gold-related investment with a small portion of your capital — whatever you like.
Bottom line: if things pan out the way I expect them to — with history as our guide — you could outperform your other holdings several times over in 2022 and beyond.
Quite honestly, given the way things are right now...
Rampant inflation...a supply chain crisis...the global economy awash with freshly printed money...
‘Niche gold’ could be a really smart pivot for you.
Like I say, this has nothing to do with buying and holding physical gold — as good a risk hedge as that may be.
This is about investing in the companies that control the gold supply.
Miners.
Now to be clear before we continue...
What I invest in IS risky. They are companies. Their stock is listed on the ASX. And they can be volatile.
But I’m not talking about gold explorers here.
There’s no way I’d put so much of my family’s money into a bunch of ‘roughneck’ companies with nothing to their name but a pile of shovels and a patch of dirt.
That’s pure speculation.
There’s a place for it, for sure.
And if you find the right gold explorer, you can make a fortune.
But it’s too stressful.
It’s hard to pick the right company in the exploration game.
So much can go wrong. And so many of these companies disappear without a trace when all they end up digging is a huge hole.
I focus my attention much higher up the gold food chain.
On producers.
These are companies with a proven resource.
They have confirmed gold in the ground.
They don’t have to go looking for it.
They just have to dig it up. And bring it to market.
This is much easier to stomach from an investment point of view (for me, anyway!).
At a time when there’s so much fake money in the economy, created by bankers with a few keystrokes, I look at gold producers as literally minting money.
And many of them are digging it out of the ground for a lot less than it’s worth.
Check this out...
At the time of writing, the gold price in Australian dollars is $2,553/oz.
One of my ‘niche gold’ investment recommendations is currently producing an ounce of gold at $1,124.
Another’s cost of production is $1,381/oz.
These are incredible margins.
And if the gold price rises, as I and others fully expect it to, these margins will only get bigger...and go straight to the bottom line of these producers and many more like them.
Like I say, I don’t like taking blind risks.
I don’t make reckless bets with my family’s money.
But while the stocks I target are riskier than buying physical gold, I don’t see this strategy as reckless in the slightest.
‘Gold mining stocks are like gold on steroids...when gold goes up, mining stocks go up even more.’
The New Case for Gold by
Jim Rickards
I see it as shrewd.
Now whether you share my view or not largely depends on your outlook for gold in 2022 and beyond.
See, the stocks I recommend have a kind of ‘natural leverage’ to the gold price — as I showed you above with the 2008 example.
That means when the gold price goes up, reflecting higher demand, those who control the supply of gold can make bigger margins...more money...and higher earnings for their shareholders.
This is often reflected in share prices that go up much higher, much faster than the spot price of the physical metal (more examples on the way).
Like I say, it’s almost as if they are leveraged to the gold price.
‘The miners are the cheapest group you can find. Period. I’m like a kid in a candy store because prices are so low, especially relative to the gold price. This could be a really good time to be a buyer.’
US Market Veteran by
Fred Hickey
You can benefit from this share price growth — provided you’re in the right investments at the right time.
And that’s where I want to help you.
I’ll start you off with the recommendations in my newly updated report: ‘Five Buys for Your Niche Gold Portfolio’.
I’ll explain how you can get your hands on a copy in a moment.
Now, like I said earlier, my investment strategy is a play on a rising gold price.
But what if you’re not convinced that gold is headed up?
Well, let me share...
There’s no question...
We’re living through the most extreme government intervention in the financial markets in history.
The US alone has spent a reported US$5.2 trillion on COVID relief since the start of the pandemic.
It amounts to around 26% of US GDP.
This is flat-out bonkers.
It’s government and state intervention on a scale we’ve never seen before.
And how was it possible?
By borrowing. And as I said a minute ago, by printing money (they call it ‘quantitative easing’).
Get this...
Quantitative easing in the US as a response to the COVID pandemic increased their money supply by 35% — in a year and a half!
Much of that money ended up in the hands of consumers.
Many people wonder how stock markets have hit record highs in the middle of a pandemic.
Quantitative easing is why.
It’s also why, at the beginning of 2022, we’re seeing inflation at a 39-year high.
So what does inflation mean for gold and gold stocks?
Well, as you know, we’ve had social and financial panics before.
And many times, these were met with government intervention, interest rate controls, and money printing…
This has, pretty much, always led to the same thing:
A bull market in gold and gold stocks
Just take a look at this chart of the gold price (inflation adjusted) exploding higher after the 1930s…in the 1970s…and after 2008:
Understanding what’s going on here might be the most important thing you can do for yourself, your family, and your investments right now.
Because all the signs point to history repeating itself in the coming months.
‘The U.S. is about to experience one of the greatest inflationary periods in world history.’
Peter Schiff
In US dollar terms, gold has risen 12.5% since March 2020.
That’s good.
But it hasn’t really ‘popped’ yet.
I think it could be about to, though.
The fact that gold demand just hit its highest level in two years is one factor.
Inflation hitting an almost four-decade high is another.
That’s why I believe it’s a great time to begin accumulating a handful of world-class gold companies and tucking them away in your portfolio.
I have five perfectly-placed investment recommendations you can jump on right away.
You’ll find all the details in my report ‘Five Buys for Your Niche Gold Portfolio’.
If I’m right...if history repeats...you might have a lot to be happy about 12 months from now.
But what history, exactly?
Well, I’m talking about the events that led to these three run-ups in the gold price over the last 100 years...
The first spike in the 1930s was caused by the Great Depression.
On 29 October 1929, the US stock market lost 11% of its value at the opening bell.
Soon every economy in the world was staring down the barrel of a brutal economic downturn…followed by mass unemployment…civil unrest…and social instability.
In response, governments did what governments always do…
They sacrificed their currency.
Between 1931 and 1934, virtually every major nation on the planet sought to manipulate the value of its currency down.
Britain was first. The US followed. Then the rest of the world…
Governments intervened to fight the crisis…devalued their currencies…and gold soared.
In fact, the US revalued gold from US$25 an ounce of gold to US$35 in a matter of days back in 1933!
Not only that, but certain gold stocks went to the Moon — even as other stocks crashed.
Look at this chart:
The red line shows the US’s Dow Jones over roughly 10 years from 1924.
As you can see, it collapsed in late 1929 following the Wall Street crash.
Now check out the black line.
It shows what happened to the share price of Homestake — the US’s then premier gold miner.
Between 1929 and 1933, as the stock market fell by 73%, shares in Homestake went UP 474%.
That could have turned a $10,000 investment into almost $60,000 — before costs — during the worst economic downturn in history.
Dome Mines — another gold company — saw its stock rise by a whopping 558% over the same time frame.
Of course, this all happened a long time ago. And it happened in another country (Australia didn’t even have a stock market until 1938).
So to be clear: I’m not guaranteeing a repeat here.
I’m showing it to you just to highlight a pattern and a process that turns up repeatedly through modern history.
We saw it again in the 1970s...
That’s how President Richard Nixon described his decision to take the US dollar off the gold standard in 1971.
It’s now known as the ‘Nixon Shock’.
It was the same story as the 1930s…
The Vietnam War had put the US under huge financial strain.
Inflation was rife.
Nixon thought the way to solve the problem was to ‘suspend’ the convertibility of the dollar into gold.
But it made matters worse.
His move unleashed a huge binge of government spending…borrowing…and money printing.
This led to greater instability…volatility…social disorder…and much higher inflation.
Wharton professor Jeremy Siegel called it:
‘The greatest failure of American macroeconomic policy in the post-war period.’
High inflation in the US was quickly exported overseas.
We got our own taste of it right here in Australia.
Between 1970 and 1981, inflation soared — crushing savers and wiping out billions of dollars in real wealth.
For much of that period, stocks tanked.
Between 1969 and 1976, the All Ordinaries crashed by 34%.
But what happened to the dollar in your pocket was worse.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, inflation in the 1970s sent the price of everyday goods soaring a staggering 194%!
That means what cost you $10 in the 1970s set you back $29.50 by the end of 1981.
It seemed like every time you turned your back, your bank savings lost more of their value. Every single day, you became a little poorer.
Unless you owned gold.
Between 1970 and 1980, the gold price soared by 1,607%.
Business Insider says:
‘The world didn’t end in the 1970s, but double-digit inflation, oil price shocks, a weak dollar, and political instability made investors fearful and nervous. With rising fear and uncertainty investors bought more gold, since it is a tangible store of wealth. As the ’70s drew to a close, people stampeded to own it.’
But what of gold stocks?
Some of them soared.
Here’s what happened to several US and Canadian gold stocks between the end of 1978 and the peak of the gold mania in September 1980:
You can see just how profitable a move up in the spot price was for some investors willing to take a risk and who bought and sold at the right time.
Well, I believe the ‘right time’ is upon us once more.
A perfect mix of runaway inflation, loose money, and political unrest could send gold up — and some gold investments to the Moon...
...rewarding investors who get their timing right over the coming weeks and months.
Now I can’t guarantee you’ll see similar results from the companies in ‘Five Buys for your Niche Gold Portfolio’.
But you can clearly see the pattern recurring in the 1970s, can’t you?
We saw...
And reader, the same thing is happening right now...we just haven’t got to stage five yet.
Last example — because I’m sure you’re getting the point...
In September 2008, investment bank Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy, plunging financial markets into chaos.
The US authorities responded with the biggest round of bailouts in history.
In the space of a few months, central banks, led by the US Federal Reserve, pumped trillions into the financial system.
Just as in the 1930s and 1970s, that sent gold rocketing — here’s a chart of the gold price (in US dollars) post-2008:
Some gold stocks shot up even quicker.
Even Australian miners got in on the act this time.
Like I said, you get the point.
Same pattern. Same outcome.
So I want you to consider what’s happening in the financial system right now...
All of this has been building over the last two years, in the wake of trillions of newly minted dollars being pumped into the financial system to stop it from keeling over.
Now ask yourself:
Can things really go back to ‘normal’ after this?
Can we really expect no further consequences from what we’re seeing?
We both know the answers to these questions.
And as you’ve seen, the lessons of history are clear…
And governments know this!
You may not be aware of this, since it wasn’t really reported in the mainstream media...
Central bank buying of gold hit a 31-year high in 2021.
Says a lot, doesn’t it?
Why do you think they did that?
More importantly, if central banks have been quietly turning their attention to gold these past few months...
Shouldn’t you?
And yes, I know there’s a simple way to position yourself for the bull market I see coming.
And that’s to do what central banks are doing: load up on physical gold in the form of bullion and coins.
Frankly, that’s not the worst idea in the world.
But if you did that with ALL your investable money right now, I think you’d be missing a huge opportunity.
To my mind, there hasn’t been a better time in the last 13 years to take a position in a handful of specific ‘niche gold’ investments.
And look, I’m not saying it’s easy.
Nor is it risk-free.
Gold stocks are speculative and can be highly risky.
When you read my research, you’ll see how I try to talk you through that risk and give you my best ideas on how to manage it.
It’s all there for you in the pages of my newly updated report...
In my gold briefing, you’ll find the details of five high-potential gold investment recommendations to get you started.
In my considered opinion, these five investments will position you well in the event of a major run-up in the gold price.
These are the gold investments I would want to own if I had no exposure to the sector right now.
Remember, you don’t have to commit as much of your capital as I have to this niche.
But I repeat:
If this situation evolves as I expect, I wouldn’t be surprised if these investments outperformed everything else in your portfolio over the next 12 months.
Download your copy today and you’ll learn all about...
Download your copy of ‘Five Buys for Your Niche Gold Portfolio’, and you’ll get the names of these companies, their stock codes, buy limits — the whole works.
Just think, you could be tucked into each of these before the market opens tomorrow! Every day missed at this point is an opportunity squandered, in my view.
You’ll also get my full research on each of the investments including my analysis of their operations, financial health, and future prospects...as well as the associated risks.
So what does the report cost?
Well, for detailed investment research and five hot gold recommendations like these, I would ordinarily look to charge you a four-figure sum.
But today, I’m going to waive that.
Today, I’ll send you a copy of ‘Five Buys for Your Niche Gold Portfolio’ at no additional charge...when you take a subscription to my monthly gold investment newsletter...
My report will help you get started...
In a boom that’s just getting started.
In my view, the gold story is just taking off now. It will be one of the biggest investment themes of the next 12 months and most likely longer.
Over the coming months, I want to guide you to what I believe are the most promising gold investments in Australia.
You’ll get a new issue of Rock Stock Insider every month.
In these issues, you’ll find more new gold investment recommendations...along with insights and strategies to improve your gold portfolio returns.
Here’s the elevator pitch:
In each monthly issue of Rock Stock Insider, you’ll discover:
This is information you can act on right away.
You’ll also find my full investigation and analysis of each new gold investment I share with you.
It’s important to me that you can see the depth of research that goes into each new gold recommendation I make.
I hope it gives you peace of mind when you’re making an important decision about where to invest your money.
After all, these are important times.
I believe, in my heart:
Now, I’m not saying it’s easy to find gold investments that are worthy of your money.
And I’m definitely not saying it’s risk-free.
But I am here to guide you.
‘I have confidence in Brian Chu’s thorough research he gives with each new recommendation. I am expecting to make money in the coming gold bull run. I am impressed he is a seasoned investor himself in the gold markets and has many years’ experience in this field.’

And, of course, we have a great home-grown advantage...
Not only is Australia the world’s second-largest gold producer, we also have more known gold resources than any other country in the world.
Around 16% of all the gold on the planet is buried under our red Aussie earth.
Suffice to say, the gold industry here is HUGE.
But not just that.
It’s teeming with smart people, innovation, state-of-the-art technology, and more.
Some of our world-class miners are worthy of investment, even when the market conditions for gold aren’t all that favourable.
But in a market that looks like it’s getting ready to soar?
Trust me, it’s a great time to get involved.
That’s why I hope you’ll take a look at Rock Stock Insider.
You can do that by scrolling down and clicking the button at the bottom of this page.
There are more than 200 gold-related stocks listed on the ASX. If gold hits a new high as I expect it to, some of these companies will most likely soar in value over the coming months.
Which ones?
I’m reviewing several prospects right now for the newsletter — quite aside from the ones in my research report, ‘Five Buys for Your Niche Gold Portfolio’.
Some of our gold producers look ready to rally to all-time highs...
And on the more speculative side, I’m looking at developers that could return great gains...
...IF they get the funding needed to build the plant and start turning resources beneath the ground into revenue and profits.
Four things I study before making a recommendation in Rock Stock Insider
And I’m confident I can do that, in the pages of Rock Stock Insider.
Like I say, I have an approach that has served me extremely well over the years.
The ins and outs of it would bore most people (just ask my wife!).
But I study things like production and cost summaries, exploration budgets, drilling results, and more — see the box to the right >>>
I know exactly what I’m looking for on a gold company’s balance sheet (I’ve read hundreds of them).
And I know gold.
I know that it’s the one asset investors flock to — and cling to — in times of uncertainty.
We’re already starting to see that.
We are currently in the middle of a monetary crisis.
History tells us this is the environment in which the gold price soars.
And when gold soars, gold stocks — the companies who pull the gold out of the ground and bring it to market — can absolutely rocket.
So if you’re interested in gold...or thinking of diversifying...
...if you want some ideas about where to put your money in what could be one of the biggest gold bull markets of all time...
…then I’d urge you to make the Rock Stock Insider newsletter part of your regular reading.
To organise that now, scroll down and click the button at the bottom of this page.
You’ll get all this...
Like I said earlier, were I selling my ‘five stocks’ research separately, I’d most likely charge a four-figure sum for it.
Because I know the potential in these stocks.
(And I know how many hours I poured into it!)
But if you want to get your hands on my report today, you won’t pay anything like that.
In fact, I’ll GIVE you a copy when you take a subscription to Rock Stock Insider.
One year of my newsletter costs just $149.
That’s around $12.40 a month.
And it gets you access to everything...
My current model portfolio, all my existing gold investment recommendations, all the bonus reports I just told you about, and all new stock research for the next 12 months.
$149 is a tiny price to pay for something that could position you perfectly to take advantage of what could be a major new bull market in the yellow metal.
But if you respond on this page, I’ll make that price even TINIER for you today...
Scroll down...click the button at the bottom of the page...
...and you’ll pay just $99 for your first year’s subscription to Rock Stock Insider.
This is less than many people spend on Uber Eats in a week!
Why the extra $50 off?
Simply —
All the ingredients are there for gold to take off in a big way — SOON. I’ve shown you what the key drivers are in this letter.
If I’m right...if history repeats...
Gold stocks — like the ones I’m personally invested in, and the ones I cover for private investors like you in Rock Stock Insider — could soon start flying up.
World-renowned fund manager David Tice agrees. He says:
‘I would be owning gold, especially gold and silver mining companies. These companies have never been cheaper. Many are at single digit multiples yet have potentially 15 to 20% growth rate in earnings...but then you add on what we think is going to be a 20% annual increase in the gold price, and these companies are going to be outstanding opportunities.’
The time to act on this is now.
Not tomorrow, next week, or next month.
That will be too late, in my view.
This is why I’m cutting the price.
To encourage you to act now.
And not miss out.
$99 is not much to pay for what could be the best and most timely investment you make in 2022.
Maybe the most valuable one too.
But this special offer is ONLY available to you right now, through this page.
And if you change your mind later?
That’s OK.
As long as you let me know in the next 30 days, I’ll cancel your subscription and refund your $99.
You can keep your copy of ‘Five Buys for Your Niche Gold Portfolio’, all the other bonus reports, and anything else you receive from me in that time.
I know this kind of investing isn’t for everyone.
This way, you get 30 days to see if it’s for you.
And if you decide it isn’t, no worries. You can have your money back.
Just ask yourself:
Remember, every single time a major crisis has occurred in the past…it has led to intervention, currency devaluation, and inflation.
Gold has always prospered in those circumstances.
Given what we face at this moment…it is just good common sense to own it.
And if you want to be more aggressive, it seems like a good idea to buy a handful of gold stocks that are likely to soar in a gold bull market.
That’s why I’d urge you to use this window of opportunity to your advantage.

PPS: Still undecided? Here are some answers to your possible questions…
My goal for Rock Stock Insider is to help you invest successfully in some of the most exciting mining stocks on the Australian market — investments many people never get to hear about.
I’ve developed this FAQs section because I believe in accountability, honesty, and transparency — about what I do and how I do it.
Please have a read. I’m sure it will address any concerns you have. If there’s still something you’d like to know, please send an email to support@fattail.com.au.

In addition, you get a 30-day, no-obligation trial period with your subscription to my investment newsletter, Rock Stock Insider.
No. I’m real. My publisher is real. We’re part of a publishing group that’s been around since 1979.
Our business is regulated in Australia by ASIC. I am a fully accredited stock analyst, which means I’m able to give general investment advice in Australia.
Some people will no doubt be wondering if Rock Stock Insider is a ‘pump-and-dump’ scheme…or whether I’m ‘front-running’ stocks.
No. Absolutely not.
I also make a living investing in my own portfolio of gold stocks.
This is why I have partnered with Fat Tail Investment Research. My aim is to share my insights in analysing gold stocks so we can all generate outperforming returns.
You are not just hearing what I have to say. I am eating my own cooking at the same time. We rise and fall together.
You have my word that I will not be acting unscrupulously to take advantage of you.

Also, I report my portfolio movements to them regularly.
Remember, I want to sleep well knowing you are also a winner.
I get that people are sceptical. If you are, please read my newsletter over the next month as part of your complimentary subscription.
You’ll quickly see that this is the real deal.
No one can guarantee you success in the markets. If someone offers you this, run a mile.
There are no guarantees that the next gold bull run will result in mining stock gains similar to those mentioned in this report.
The stock market is uncertain. There are always risks involved when you buy mining shares. You could lose some or all of your investment, so you should never invest more than you can safely afford to lose.
All I can do is provide the best defence against that uncertainty: meticulous research.
I have built a database of the key ASX-listed gold producers over the last four years. Some companies I know so well that I can give ballpark figures off the top of my head.
The market is fast-paced, and I like to exercise my memory (I am getting old!) by remembering figures and facts.
Yes, I actually do memorise the vital statistics of my favourite gold stocks and I play around with it in my head (it’s weird, I know!).
To convince you how fascinated I am with gold stocks, my mobile phone holds hundreds of files of company presentations and financial reports.
You will find more of these files than videos of my son!
Every so often, I will flick through them to refresh my memory.
Just a few days ago, my colleague emailed me while I was having lunch, asking me what the fair value was for a gold stock.
I picked up my phone and calculated the value off the top of my head. I wrote a quick reply and resumed eating.
OK, so not completely off the top of my head.
I did open the file I had saved containing the quarterly report (after I sent him my reply, but shh…) and voila, I was on the mark.
Of course, I CAN guarantee you that if you don’t like what you see, for any reason, you can walk away with a full refund any time in your first 30 days.
I recommend many different kinds of Australian mining shares.
This service focuses on the producers and more established gold stocks with market capitalisation ranging from $50 million to multibillion-dollar giants like Newcrest Mining.
My expertise is on mid-tier producers where I made the biggest returns in my career.
These have a market capitalisation ranging from $100 million to $3 billion.
I also occasionally recommend developers and explorers with great potential, whether they are putting a processing plant over a deposit, or they have booked a substantial resource and waiting for a funding package to get things going.
In addition, I sometimes tip ETFs or recommend you acquire a holding of physical commodities — typically precious metals — depending on the fundamentals and the market conditions.
I will always remind you of this added risk whenever I recommend any investment.
It depends…
My recommendations will mostly be on producer stocks, and I seek to find those that the market has mispriced. I will also recommend a handful of stocks where the company is building a mine and will produce in the next 6–18 months.
Occasionally, I will recommend a late-stage explorer that I think may be a takeover target.
The market is more driven by emotions and momentum rather than reason. Commodity cycles can run for longer than you may wish to hold on. So you may need to have some patience in riding through the waves.
I cannot make any guarantees about when you will see results. I make no promises when I make the recommendations.
Life-changing returns have often come with seeing paper losses of more than 50% during the journey (check out my portfolio in the first 18 months on the Australian Gold Fund site).
But not all paper losses of that magnitude will see a turnaround. That is why I will employ a valuation framework to ensure we do not let our emotions overtake our sensibilities.
While I’m extremely fastidious in my research, you must understand that not every share I tip will go up (I wish!). Some will go down.
That’s the nature of the stock market, and the resources markets in general.
Smaller stocks, which may be recommended every now and then, tend to be much riskier than blue chips because they are hyper-sensitive to news and announcements.
The value of these stocks can jump up rapidly but can fall back just as rapidly.
I add that even large producers can be as volatile as small-cap industrial stocks. This is the nature of the beast that is gold stocks (and mining stocks in general).
All mining stocks are driven by the price of the underlying commodity.
In other words, if you are holding the stock of a silver miner and the silver price crashes, your holding is at risk of falling in value too.
On top of that, each company has their specific risks (i.e: operational, geographical, financial), so its price may not move in the same direction as the underlying commodity.
And there’s the risk that I’m wrong about all of this.
The mining industry is volatile. Commodity prices can crash, a mine can be suspended by government order, or management overpromised and they failed to deliver.
I base my views on deep research and access to a network of experts who know a lot about mining and resources.
But that does not mean I call it right every time.
In other words, never invest more than you could comfortably afford to lose on any one recommendation.
