GOLD STOCK ADVISER – by David Skarica – Publisher: Newsmax.com
Focusing on “today’s best gold mining stock opportunities”, David Skarica is offering an enjoyable and well written newsletter with two portfolios, the first one called “Conservative Portfolio” (currently 10 picks — the “usual suspects” in the gold field), the second one called “Aggressive Portfolio” (currently 4 picks).
A very interesting service, especially regarding the subscription price :o)
I can’t say how he’s done before I subscribed, but I have three months of his newsletters.
He said buy auy @ or below $12.50 I bought it at $10.38, now it’s at $11.50.
He said buy BVN @ or below $34, I bought it at 30.66, now it’s at $36.96.
He said buy Gold EFTs, I bought at $108, it’s $121 now.
He said buy Silver EFTs,I bought at $17, it’s $19 now.
Did I get lucky? Maybe but I would never have bought any of these without his newsletter, gee I never heard of these before, but I looked into this because I read Aftershock and it made sense to me.
I have been looking at the Gold Stock Adviser for about a month and a half, and I read Aftershock, and issues of the Financial Intelligence Report before that. The picks that Skarica has set forth in the newsletter have done quite well. The stocks that I have bought in the short time with the service have performed very well. Skarica also is the author of the Great Super Cycle, and he lays out in convincing detail and logic his argument that precious metals are a hedge against the coming financial chaos resulting from our governmental policies (and the natural cycles of money flowing to emerging [growth] markets). I recommend that you take a look at his book, consider his arguments and read the Financial Intelligence Report. The contributions of these people are well thought out, and their prognostications may or may not come to pass. The arguments they lay out in favor of their position are very well thought out. Armed with this understanding, I have decided to venture into buying some gold mining stocks and think that David Skarica is a very able guide. The only caveat: gold mining stocks are extremely volatile. This is not an investment for the faint of heart, but if one is willing to take a calculated risk there is lots to look at here.
I’m happy and pleased at how PZG has in the short time that I have owned it. Thanks and I’m waiting to hear from you again.

Trying to figure out how to log on.
Hi,
I am a real person. I subscribed to the Gold Stock Adviser in June 2010. By that time I was invested in more than 20 gold miners already for 3 months to 10 months.
My leader was GORO which had appreciated since August 24, 2009 from 6.74$ by about 120%. Now it is at 25.04$ (+271%).
Other junior miners that I had bought before June 2010 included Kingsgate, Allied Nevada Gold, Greystar, Brett, Osisko, Rio Alto, Hawthorne, Hill End, Taseko, Crescent Gold, Spanish Mountain, Metanor and about 15 more, as well as the medium miners Yamana and Coeur d’Alene. On an average they had appreciated by about 60%. The recommendations for these miners I received from the German Oxford Club Eil-Depesche which boasted a performance of over 300% since October 2008.
As I live in Thailand I wanted to read more from an adviser who is nearer to the mines. So I selected David Skarica who is a native Canadian. All his articles are highly interesting and well written.
Unfortunately he generally does not recommend any Junior Miners because in his opinion they are too risky. As an expert David should know better.
The medium miners in his conservative depot are really nothing to invest in, profits from minus 7% to plus 60% within 18 months in a gold bull market is not really worth the expenses of his newsletter.
Four of the nine stocks in his aggressive portfolio that were bought in early 2009 (Paramount, Aberdeen, Xtra Gold, New Gold) are up by 116% to 216%. This looks quite impressive.
But when I compare to the Oxford Club recommendations that I purchased in the second half of 2009, this tells another story, e.g.: Rio Alto +485%, Osisko Mining +197%, Allied Nevada Gold +134%, Yukon Nevada Gold +202%, GORO 271%, Brett +550% (takeover by Osisko), plus another 20 that I bought in 2010 which are up between 40% and 200%.
Among over 40 Junior Miners there are only 2 that lost money, Hawthorne and Crescent Gold, and 2 that did not profit, Hill End and Metanor. All other Junior Miners made an average of +120% in 4 to 18 months.
This shows that David Skarica uses the prejudice against Junior Miners as an excuse for not researching them well enough in order to make educated recommendations.
That this is possible shows the example of the German Oxford Club and of Greg McCoach from Mining Speculator, whose Newsletter I receive since October 2010 and who does exceptionally good timing for BUY recommendations.
Sorry David, recommending average miners results in a performance which is less than average.

I have enjoyed your letter and are to get your next letter

i HAVE NOT BEEN RECEIVING MY WEEKLY UPDATES FROM gOLD STOCKS ADVISER AND i’M WONDERING WHY?
This is a scam! I’ve mailed in several items to cancel this crap subscription. Quit charging me! Cancel my account!
Instructions to cancel led to dead end.
cancel my subscription i do not want did not order do not bill me
We don’t publish or sell the Gold Stock Adviser newsletter, friend, you’ll have to get in touch with the publisher for subscription questions or concerns.
I do not want to receive David Skarica’s Gold Stock Advisor any longer!! I was told or read any notice that I would be charged $99.00 for a year subscription when I originally signed up for this, until I answered the phone call today. If this is the way you do business, then I do not want any part it or your publisher Newsmax. DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT charge the account you have on file!!
I am another victim of the Aftershock book scam. I never signed up for the free trail subscription to Gold Stock Advisor when I requested the free book. Now you want to charge me $99.00 for a year’s subscription. No do not send my any of your crap magazine and cancel any subscription to it.

I’m another victim of the gold stock advisor subscription. Please cancel this and do not charge by cc $99.00. Getting the AfterShock book was an obvious scam the way this was handled.
You have made it impossible to cancel my subscription to gold stock adviser. Why don’t you have a line to be used to cancelling?
cancel my subscription
I do not want Gold Stock advisor . please cancel my subscription. I ordered Aftershock and you sent me 3 trial subscriptions I did not order. I went to the web site you told me to go to via a phone call to me this morning. It is impossible to cancel from that website. I do not want any of the subscriptions you signed me up forGold stock advisor, Franklin prosperity report, financial Intelligence. Please stop all subscriptions now.
I subscribed to Gold Stock Advisor for two years. This newsletter is the abysmal result of matching a guy with inflated claims on his resume with a pushy marketing organization that has a big mailing list.
This is a trivial publication, coming nowhere near the utility of similar publications from Stansberry, Casey, Agora, etc., and printing essentially nothing of use in making investing decision. It is a newsletter that provides nothing original and could easily be written after doing no more than reading other people’s newsletters.
Do we really need an 8-page newsletter with 1.5 to 3 pages ranting about the glories of Canada and the impossibility of the U.S. paying off its debt. Or 1/3 of a front page for the Table of Contents and PM prices? Or a last page that filled with repetitions, bromides, and cliches.
At the other extreme, by comparison, is “The Gold Stock Analyst” by John Doody, where every available square inch is filled with insightful, impactful,, useful, and largely original material. Skarica should take some lessons from Doody and arrive at a satisfactory balance for a publication that’s worth reading — and worth $99/year.
I NEVER SIGNED UP FOR AUTOMATIC RENEWAL. STOP SENDING ME GOLD STOCK ADVISER, AND REFUND THE $99.00 FEE YOU KEEP POSTING ON MY CREDIT CARD. I PERSONALLY BELIEVE YOU ARE RUNNING A SCAM.
I am outraged, but also glad to see that I am not the only one pulled into this scam – just by ordering “Aftershock” ONLY. Then got charged $99 twice in 2 consecutive months (Dec. and Jan.) for this crap of “Gold Stock Advisor”, Financial Report etc. Refund these $198 PLEASE NOW !!! I never wanted it, don’t even have money to invest, certainly no gold – and if I did I would choose advisors myself – thank you. But can’t reach any customer service – they are STEALING money – and in the sleeziest, cheapest most disgusting way!!!
