Testimonials

I’m 82 in 2 months. Having subscribed to numerous news letters since 30 years, I can say sincerely, yours has been absolutely the best, well, at least the one that I preferred the most. I have seen so many “pump and dump” letters. But even compared to good ones like Doug Casey’s Int’l Speculator and others, you are on top of the list I would recommend to any friend.

You always tell it like it is, no bull****, you say when you buy or sell, and not leave the reader wondering what you actually mean. Having a Portfolio update regularly also helps so much. Really, you're the best!
