Only been subscribing for a short while, but he has saved me a fortune in wrong picks.
Good writing, if you like Gold, look no further….

It’s been too many years since I took out a trial about John’s work t/b honest, but I do remember how interesting he made his research sound. Gold hadn’t yet broken out as it has these past few years.
His Top 10 often out-performed any other gold portfolio I’m told. Too bad I didn’t hang in there, but I prefer the entire world of commodities vs. just being a gold bug.
Not many reviews here for John, yet he must be up a ton by now.
Review by L Gauger, October 1, 2009
Have been a subscriber nearly a year. Very interesting, lots of data, have made some money on his top ten, have also sold a portion in order to take my original investment out and ride on the profits. Am satisfied with his newsletter, but with the price increase, it is doubtful that I will renew.
Review by Bob from Calgary, October 1, 2009
I started subscribing to GSA in 2005. I have always done my own DD, and as a result have usually had most of the top ten in my portfolio. I think most stocks that John puts on the top ten have much more upside than downside. Even if gold does not increase, they have reason to go up. His record is good, and I am up a little over 100% since 2005 on my gold stocks without (I believe) taking on too much risk. Last November was painful, but I held my nose and added many top ten stocks, to my delight today. He just added one to the top ten that I think is one of his better picks. Little downside, but great upside potential. I’ve bot some, but don’t have a full position yet. Will be adding on any weakness.
Review by adman, October 1, 2009
I don’t subscribe, but I keep getting offers. I also listen to Doody on Financial Sense Newshour periodically. I think he’s a pompous ass. I get better results via charting gold stocks and using MSN’s StockScouter. Gold stocks are so incredibly volatile that the best results are by charting, not by following Goofy…oops, Doody. Plus, as you note, Doody has touted Gold Queen a number of times. I say enough is enough. This newsletter tells me why he needs to charge so much for his newsletter…younger women, Porsche, yacht.
Review by MJay, October 2, 2009
I have now been subscribing for several months, while I don’t use him as the answer to a maidens prayer when it comes to stock picks, I do like the way he analyses a lot of stocks and to some extent leaves the field open to you to make your own choices.
Great coverage of a lot of stocks, can’t complain…..
Review by Dimitri, October 31, 2009
I’ve been a subscriber for a little under a year. I invested in his Top 10 and am now up over 100% so I renewed my subscription for another year before he raised his already high price. Doody digs into the details of gold mining at the companies he tracks, reporting literally every facet of operations with his analysis of their potential. Since gold has had its ups and downs I suspect one needs to be willing to step away from this sector if the trend changes - but for now if you believe that the dollar will continue to lose value, gold stocks are on a tear and Doody knows them better than anyone else I’ve found.
Review by DN, November 13, 2009
I subscribed and bought the top 10 in February 2009, simply followed John Doody’s simple recommendations, and have doubled my money since then. Can’t expect better than that!
Review by Steve Day, February 10, 2010
I have been a subscriber since 2007. GSA is one of my favorite letters. John Doody is sincere in his research of gold mining and royalty companies. He will keep you out of trouble and keep you informed on the inside track of companies in the industry. He may hype his advertising a little, like thy all do, but he is the real deal. If you believe that gold will continue to increase in real purchasing power, over a devaluation in the USD, I would recommend GSA as a way to have someone provide you with lot of research and guidance in how to invest in Gold.
