Answer ¬ With most newsletter writers the name of the game is the promotion of select & particular companies & you will notice that certain companies seem to be over promoted & reviewed over & over & over again. Gold Letter Alert will recommend only the under valued, serious gold mining stocks.

Answer ¬ Our strategy at Gold Letter remains a long term outlook taken over the next decade. As a measure of conservatism we will continue to strongly recommend for subscribers to develop a selling strategy that you are comfortable with. Because of our conservative nature it always remains our desire to capture our original equity & capital at the first opportunity. This is why we advocate selling half a stock issue after it doubles in price.

Answer ¬ Let’s look at one of my favorites, Nevsun. Nevsun was selling for as low as .12 cents Canadian just a few years ago. This past year it reached a high of 4.10 a share. If you had invested 25,000 dollars in this stock in 2000 you would have seen your investment go as high as 850,000 dollars. There is no other class except gold stocks that can offer this kind of wealth increase. Risky? Of course. You can lose your shirt in a heart beat. Some gold stocks have done this well & some have not. But what makes this an excellent time to invest in gold stocks is the expectation that gold is on a long term up trend over the next few years.

Answer ¬ We publish whenever we have a buy or sell recommendation or whenever there is new information we think will benefit our subscribers. In 2003, Gold Letter Alert reviewd 41 different gold and silver stocks.While we do not commit ourselves to a publication date, we do try and cover at least one review every week and a half. WE DO THIS SO THAT WE ARE NOT FORCED AND COMPELLED TO FOLLOW A RIGID PUBLICATION DEADLINE EVEN WHEN WE HAVE NOTHING TO SAY.

Answer ¬ Generally the smaller capitalized companies are the riskiest & more speculative, but this is where the largest gains can occur. And the exploration companies are the most speculative & risky of all the gold companies.

Answer ¬ Never, never, never buy only one gold stock. A minimum of 6 is advisable. Your objective should be to spread your risk among many players. And also it is important to remember that even though an exploration company can have a series of good drilling results a mining company’s good fortunes can turn on a dime. And for these reasons it is always very conservative & prudent to get at least your initial capital out of a stock as soon as it may start to rise.

Answer ¬ If you have a selling strategy then stick with what works for you. Gold Letter Alert is primarily speaking to the other 99.9% investors who have not one clue when to sell. And because of this fact we advocate to this 99.9% to sell half of a stock issue when it doubles. The principal behind this philosophy is the following. If your original 10,000 dollar investment doubles to 20,000 that is a 100% gain. Now at this point sell half of this stock issue. You now have your original 10,000 back & you may invest it in another promising venture. And the 10,000 that you keep in the stock issue becomes in a way a risk free investment because you have recouped your original capital.
