Predicting is a risky sport and predicting markets an extreme one. But understanding can be much more lucrative.

And that is exactly what happened. Within hours of the unanimous announcement on Wednesday that the Fed's benchmark short-term borrowing rate would go up a quarter point, gold was up $14/oz. - 12/16/2015
If only someone could bottle the experience of finding an overlooked company, investing for pennies a share and cashing in for 10, 20 or 30 times what you paid. Priceless, right? But how to find those companies? Small caps aren't covered by the mainstream press and analysts the way blue chips are, and determining value of an early-stage company before profit and loss statements take on real meaning and big questions about science and markets are answered can be difficult. That is why veteran investors like Tom Swaney, president of California-based Harwood Capital Inc., like to meet management in person at events like the California Capital Conference. - 12/07/2015

The much-anticipated decision by the Federal Reserve Board at the Sept. 17 meeting to hold interest rates near zero was met in the resource community with a mixture of relief and disappointment. The 9-to-1 vote citing global economic pressure on inflation left open the possibility of a hike at the December meeting. The Gold Report asked the experts in the resource sector what this means for precious metals and oil prices, and what signs they are looking for that a different outcome will be announced in December. - 09/17/2015
What can you really learn from the fuzzy project diagrams, site photos and columns of numbers often shown in dark rooms at conferences? A lot, if you know what you are looking for, according to the experts. Beyond the warnings about forward-looking statements, corporate presentations often contain the details that could make or break a project's economics. And many companies time the release of important information to coincide with events like the Sprott-Stansberry Natural Resource Symposium, going on now in Vancouver. For those who weren't able to make the trip or are doing their homework in a hotel room somewhere, The Gold Report asks veteran investors what they look for in a corporate presentation when evaluating a possible opportunity. As a bonus, we included links to several company presentations shown in Vancouver so you can practice your analyzing skills. - 07/28/2015

To answer these questions, we did what we do best at The Gold Report and asked the experts what is causing all the black swans and what they are doing to protect their investments. - 07/09/2015

The Gold Report shares investing ideas from some of the smartest people in the precious metals mining sector—analysts, money managers and newsletter writers including Rick Rule, James Dines, Doug Casey and Porter Stansberry. That was founder Gordon Holmes' vision in 2003 when he started the publication after receiving these words of wisdom from GoldMoney Chairman James Turk: "Buy gold." As the former publisher of Buyside magazine, Holmes set out to create a publication that would interview a wide array of experts and feature in-depth stories about macro-trends and individual investing ideas, but let the readers make their own decisions. In 2008, Karen Roche joined the team as president and grew the parent company, Streetwise Reports, to four newsletters, including The Critical Metals Report, The Energy Report and The Life Sciences Report.
To celebrate the New Year, Roche asked some of our most popular interviewees to share The Best Investing Advice They Ever Heard. Most of it falls into a few basic areas we already know: "Buy low and sell high before the cycles start all over again." Some is contradictory: "Be cautious, but take risks." Some made us laugh out loud. Consider it our New Year's gift to you as we all get ready for an exciting 2013 in the world of junior mining investing.
