A Different Kind
of Financial Market Analysis
"I enjoy your work and appreciate your
efforts" --Will M 1.31.12
"Thanks for your great newsletter" --Monica M 1.31.12
"Wonderfull update. Thank you so much for
your analyses this year, it has allowed me (us) to consolidate so much.
Would be a ship without a rudder without you mate." --Julian M 1.26.12
"Gary, you are doing a great job of
navigating all this. Everyone is confused right now and if they are not
they are probably set to be horribly surprised very soon." --Kel M 1.19.12
"Thanks so much for resending your last 2
messages. I read many analysts for their opinions on the markets, but I
value yours the most and it is my only subscription." --Frank M 1.18.12
"Gary, Just to let you
know I think your #170 is brilliantly thought out, written, and
presented. It is worth more money. Another happy
subscriber." --Julian
M
1.17.12
"Love your work - discovered you through IKN,
but you have become my "must read" ... Please keep it coming!!!" --Richard A 1.9.12
"What's particularly regrettable is that I
was up 50% year-to-date on Labor [Day]. My big mistake was not
realizing how overbought gold had become in August. Shoulda,
coulda, woulda listened to you on that one as you were all over
it." --Douglas D 1.1.12
"Brilliant calls. Nothing else to add.
All the best to you, enjoy the holidays. Looking forward to
2K12!" --Pierre H 12.29.11
"Good work, Gary! Excellent timing (to the
best of our knowledge), excellent companies." --Gwen C 12.29.11
"Dear Gary, I am a new subscriber and I am enjoying your take on the
markets." --Frank M
12.28.11
"I actually think this past year was the most
difficult market environment I have experienced thus far in 25 years of
following them. I am hoping I learned a great deal that I can
capitalize on moving forward. I think that will be the case
. Reading your newsletter certainly contributed a great deal to
my ability to interpret and "deal" with these markets." --Richard K 12.25.11
"Very good note. I've read all of the
[financial writers] on occasion, they are blinkered (as I used to be,
perhaps taking my cue from them) but you are just pragmatic. Which is
what is needed.
It's been a good year for my clients, mostly sat in Gilts all year, up
by around 8% or so, just waiting for that 'bottom' to appear, and major
QE, to switch back to risk assets (yeah, I know, Gilts a non-risk
asset, as if). Your letter has helped all year to guide the
way. Have
a great Christmas and Happy New
Year." --Gary M 12.20.11
"Great job by the way keeping track of the
precarious situation, it has helped us tremendously to have someone
with their own skin in the game providing such useful technical
assessments." --Tom S (MetalAuGmentor.com)
12.20.11
"Personally --I believe 2013 will present
total collapse. The greatest depression where only the strongest
will survive. On behalf of my family -I express heart felt
gratitude to you and your work Gary. Keep up the more than good
work." --Julian M 11.27.11
"Hi Gary, I don't like your idea with the
weekly alternating stuff ... please just keep it like it is. Kind
regards" --Dirk F 11.24.11 [ed:
we
did,
w/
improvements
;-)]
"Listen Gary, no shit. I read a
tremendous amount. I have sampled and subscribed to several
letters. I don't want you to get the big head, but you are hands
down the best. Your ratio work is stand alone. Nobody that
I know did that till you started showing it. The one thing I've
learned from you is that you want to try to be on the right side.
I think you have a lot of tools to get us on the right side.
Whether we listen and react is up to us." --Mike C 11.23.11
"Summaries would be nice,
especially when
there is a lot of terrain to navigate. That said, however, one
thing I really like about you versus **** is that you always connect
the dots and **** often does not. His weekly ******* ****** is much
shorter, and on many occasions requires the reader to take a leap of
faith in terms of how certain conclusions are reached. I never have to
do that with you. I like the fact that you don't predict as much
as you interpret what the data - which you always share - is telling
you. Have a nice holiday." --Reuben
C
11.23.11
"Much of the
charm of NFTRH is that it is oracle-like and not telling you to do this
or that. You risk getting pigeonholed if you start playing to the fkkn
asshl peanut gallery dude, and your view on the markets is worth 100X
the normal. Do not succumb to being a commetator that assholes
understand, because that, eventually, will make you
an..................yup you guessed it. Just mho of course, that
of somebody further outside than you, the outsider. I'm being utterly
selfish of course because I'd hate to lose your voice as part of my
weekly mix." --Mark T
11.23.11 [ed: you got it sir!]
"Thanks for your analysis. I often find your
week-end edition too complex
for me but like the way you're doing it during the week!" --Jean-Marc E 11.10.11
"Hi Gary...I like the way you mention what
you hold in your portfolio...anyone with a working brain can do some dd
and understand why. Please dont become the stock picker as I
believe it justs makes it all too cumbersome and hurts
everybody...buy and sell as you please when you please and let us know
what in the bag is fine by me." --Steve
P
11.7.11
"Anyway, and as well, I did want to tell you
that I find your service nothing short of outstanding and can’t imagine
anyone or any service better. Your calls on when risk is low and
when it’s high are always prudent and well taken and I do like the
NFTRH email updates. A while back on your blog I recall you
mentioning about “bludgeoning” your subscribers with updates.
Well, keep ‘em coming as far as I’m concerned whenever warranted and
thanks for them. Short of becoming an all out stock picker which
you refuse to do, I’ve noticed that a little bit more, you’ll throw the
odd bit of TA out there about a particular stock “for our
consideration” if we’re interested. So I think that you’ve got a
real nice balance now without going all in as a stock picker. --Bruce S 10.10.11
"Hello Gary, Just finished up with issue 155
and feel it's some of the best work you've done to date. For me
anyway, this is why I subscribe, when everyone is in a tither you
present the markets as they actually are. If your service was a
stock it would be paying out dividends this week. Well
done. Thank you," --Garry
C 10.2.11
"Thanks again for your dedication to your
clients. I feel I'm benefiting immensely from your service. I've been
trying to get my friend on board as well. He's been losing money on his
stock picks so I've been telling him about the great choices you've
made in PM's." --Patrick
C 9.17.11
"Just want to let you know how much I
appreciate the awesome job you continue to do. Your work on the
weekly newsletter is valuable enough, but these frequent email updates
truly go above and beyond. It is your calm, unbiased, unemotional
perspective that helps the most - I have learned a lot about technical
analysis but more importantly about the value of patience from
you." --Ray V 9.16.11
"Hi Gary, Since becoming a subscriber, i've
learned a lot from you on how to manage my own portfolio risk. I still
can't believe i never used "Relative to" charting until [seeing] your
work. In addition, thanks so much for providing your intraday
updates.... they're awesome." --John
A
9.14.11
"Man, Gary. You'll definitly have to put this
up on the blog after this short-term storm blows over. I'm sure there
are a lot of very nervous folks out there right now wishing they'd have
sprung for your NFTRH sub. Thanks a ton for your steady hand!" --Tom A 9.14.11
"You cannot be all things to all people. So
look within and be yourself. That's what I want from you, what you are
thinking and seeing. If I don't want to look, I don't." --Michael T 9.14.11
"Love your work. I'm a lot more risk tolerant
than you and I like the way you "balance me out". --Doug
D 8.21.11
"Hi Gary, Great letter this weekend... thanks
for all the efforts and personalized service you offer." --Normand
J
8.15.11
"Gary, this was one of your best pieces. Very
clear, little jargon, and quite helpful. Keep it coming." --Reuben
C
8.14.11
"Gary, I do not write to you
often as I figure you are busy enough, but I had to drop you a note to
say super update! I was sitting at my screen wondering what to do
next and you have just given me the sound counsel I was looking for to
deal with this market. It makes me wonder how other people who
are not subscribers handle these markets..." --Mario R
8.5.11
"Gary, This one post of yours saved me a lot
of money today. Your analysis I have grown to trust, and this
posting confirmed several signals I was getting from the market today.
As a result, I did a rare thing- sold a lot, and right away-
before the cliff dive. Not just for this post, but for all
your postings- THANK YOU. I really appreciate all you do, and how
you do it!" --Mike W 8.4.11
"Gary, Thank you very much for your timely
morning update suggesting taking profits until all is clear!!!" --Lyling H 7.27.11
"ps i wanted to also point out that you
are saving me money on the buy/sell side but also i have let many other
newsletters expire b/c of your excellent work...hence, you have saved
me money and time in that regard as well..." --Joseph M 7.20.11
"Hi. Just wanted to say that I am very
glad I subscribed a few weeks ago. I have added a significant
amount of "insurance" of numerous types based upon your analysis,
including more yesterday. I had been on the fence until receiving
your email update yesterday. It really looks as if your analysis
and interpretations have been absolutely correct and my portfolio
thanks you." --Bob T
6.23.11
"Gary, Thank you again for your great
newsletter. I look forward to it every weekend. --Monica D 6.23.11
"Hi Gary, Great update, thanks!
So, the reason I'm writing is in response to your "Spontaneous NFTRH
Promo..." post. I was about to put something on your blog but
wanted to bounce this off you first, as I'm not sure if it would look
cheesy giving you + feedback there. Bottom line, I want to give
you positive feedback but I want to do it the best way and I'm not sure
what that is.
I wanted to say that, "since August 2007 I have been searching for
someone who can both sift through the bullshit AND invest
accordingly. From both a profit perspective and my own moral
perspective I wanted to find one who could see the world and market for
what it is. I can't tell you how many out there can do the former
but not do the latter, and vice verse.
I first saw some of your work on Seeking Alpha and then I think Tim
Knight mentioned you a few times - as he is always looking for an
opportunity to be contrarian your PM stance, lol! [me:
I think Tim Knight sometimes references a different gold bug 'Gary', or
maybe it was me... not sure] At any rate, my mental notes finally
pointed me to your blog. I found some excellent analysis that was
both real and surprisingly contrarian to popular market thinking, even
contrarian to what I thought was 'smart' market thinking. I
signed up in Jan. '11 (finally) and immediately started to grow my
capital and then, importantly, preserve that capital! I haven't
found anyone who has the patience you have, nor the ability to sift
through the tea leaves as you can. I've found a consummate
professional here in the Rabbit Hole and am happy to say I'm done
shopping around."
Honestly, I'm not gushing, just calling it as I see it. You are welcome
to use this, in whole or parts, in any way you see fit and/or I am
happy to post this myself on your blog.
Regards, Dave (a.k.a. Shell Game on
your blog)" 6.22.11
"Re: Money Supply & Inflation (& a mini
screed) That was superb, one of the best pieces i've seen
written on how the unfolding macro ties in with personal money
decisions...not just by you but by anyone. I've always found it
difficult to write that type of piece, because the line between
financial sanity and the tinfoilhat mob is very fine. Easy to fall off
the tightrope, but you did it so well. Feel good about that section and
i'd love to see you put it up on your blog later in the week to get a
wider audience to it." --Mark
T
6.19.11
"Gary, Pages 16
& 17 re 'off-grid' - excellent! I read twice and wrote the
points down in a notebook immediately. Things we all know, but
need reminders. And so well put... I cashed in, (penalties, taxes
and all), every $ of my family's IRAs in '06. (Back then, I was
called 'crazy'.) Held the cash, then used it to top off our gold
and silver bullion holdings purchased back in '02, when PM's went on
sale in '08. Whether 401(k)'s are forced into Treasuries, or just
heavily taxed, or control taken away from us ... it's coming.
Never thought of it that way, but slowly going off-grid makes sense.
Taking more control for ourselves. Thank you!!!" --Gwen C 6.19.11
"Thanks for the continued hard work and being
who you are. It is comforting for me to know there are people out
there like yourself. I hope you never get too tired or
discouraged from what you do. I know for me, sometimes I get
caught up in frustration with what goes on out there in the
world. The deception, lies, etc. But having a newborn that
is totally dependent, alters the outlook. I get what you mean
more nowadays when you say, its just the markets, even though I already
felt I got it. We all have to keep going for the sake of the
future generations." --Michael
H 6.19.11
Brilliant Again [well, his words not
mine; just doing my job] Love charts pages 12-14. Love
anecdote on you vs. PH. You go dude." --Larry L 6.19.11
"Thanks Gary, it's a clear message." --Dan Q 6.19.11
"Gary, Just back home, read the letter. Well
done. It was solidly written, and effectively to the point(s). Clearly
you were on your game today." --Jeff
C
6.5.11
"Gary, Your letter is, hands down, the best
information I've ever received. (Easily understood charts, simple
to-the-point narration, useable information.) And I
believe I read some of the best, for thinking & different
viewpoints.
I've only read
today's NFTRH (new subscriber today) and I feel much more confident already
in how to keep an eye on market direction for portfolio protection.
I was grinning from ear to ear as I read. I am not a
chartist, but follow along and believe, at times, they can become
self-fulfilling. I do, however, understand macro economics and
secular bull markets. I've been in the gold secular bull market
since 2002. I read a LOT, but again, for the first time I don't
feel like I'm 'flailing'." --Gwen C 5.16.11
"Gary, Another really great issue. Well
considered, and brilliantly (yeah, really!) written. I appreciate your
thoughtful comments about the markets, your concerns and reasons for
your decisions and recommendations. I am not a chartist, but appreciate
its value and continue to learn from your examples and commentary. In
the five months or so that I have been getting your newsletter I
continue to learn, taking my DD in much different directions than I
have in the past. I appreciate your conservative and honest
work." --Karen K 5.2.11
"Gary, thanks for the frequent updates.
Given that we are at such a critical juncture, they are enormously
helpful." --Reuben C
5.2.11
"Amongst newsletter writers and/or
bloggers, you write much more intelligently by far, than most." --Bruce S 5.1.11
"Brilliant issue, Gary. Hugely helpful.
Your level-headed chart reading is a much-needed corrective to my inner
terrified gold bug, the one who got squished in ‘08 and desperately
wants to sell right now. It’s no wonder the sector is cowering in a
corner; we’re all victims of Post Traumatic Market Syndrome and
undergoing a collective flashback and freak out. As I once learned in
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction: “Thoughts are not facts.”
Thoughts are just thoughts. Charts, on the other hand, are facts. I’ll
go with the facts." --Stephen
M 5.1.11
"Good evening Gary, from

Couldn't resist the rib, silver futures just pinned $49.82 10:20p.m.
PST, lawdy have mercy... By the way, I've been making money ever
since recently joining your service, you've made it fun again. Many
thanks."
--David W.
4.25.11
"Gary, Thank you for such GREAT comments and analysis
of the markets. Along with Otto's newsletter, I really look forward to
Sundays for NFTRH. I am a new subscriber -- about a month now, and I
have learned tons of info from you." --Karen K 3.6.11
"Hello Gary, Wanted to let you know that we really appreciate the
excellent macro, technical and sector analysis that you have been
doing. The main reason we became subscribers recently is to help reduce
the amount of primary research we need to do in order to discent and
evaluate the most relevant events and factors affecting the markets
where we invest and speculate. We've found your analysis to be among
the most objective and unclouded by politics or preconceptions about
economic and social outcomes. This type of level-headed approach is a
rarity and we feel that serious investors have much to gain from
it." --Metal Augmentor
2.21.11
"Dear
Gary, Just a quick note to say, in my opinion, NFRTH 123 was
first class. I remember in late 2009 and early 2010 your mantra was
"risk is rising". At the time I remember you effectively saying,
"that's how I see it and for as long as the situation persists I'll
keep saying it, even if it isn't exciting." All the while I read that I
thought to myself "Good, this is precisely what I want from a
newsletter writer!" Reality is what it is and although it can change
overnight given the appropriate exogenous (we didn't see that coming)
shock, I don't expect it to conform to my wishes, goals, hopes or
ambitions, nor do I expect it to entertain me. Please keep up the
good work and all the best to you and yours." --Steve K 2.13.11
"Gary, Happy Super Bowl day. Your market analysis using the
inter-market indicators is in line with my thinking. I have been
using the same indicators but did not make sense of their impact on
market. You have made it very clear to me now how market
risk/reward is
affected looking at these indicators. Plus most of the equities
in portfolio are my old favs. Specially the STM.to. I am glad to
be part of this group and hope to enjoy my association
with NFTRH for a long time to come. Thanks for the hard work you
put in to make it easy for us among jungle of speculators." --Shyam D 2.6.11
"Thanks
Gary, great issue [NFTRH122]." --Stephen
M
2.6.11
"I've
raised my cash levels waiting for the market to correct and you're
helping me stay patient which is a weakness of mine. So please
keep beating me to death with your risk/reward scenarios because it
helps me become a better investor." --Garry C 1.27.11
"Hi Gary,
First off, I hope you have had a great Christmas with your family!
Second
thing is that I am not sure when I am due for the next year’s
subscription, please let me know and the details for a Western Union
transfer.
Lastly, I
just wish to add that I have found your newsletter well-written,
sometimes a riddle, but mostly an excellent interpretation of the
markets, which has stopped me from selling and/or buying at the wrong
moment. I am financially the better for your advice, thank you.
Best
wishes for 2011" --Steve B 12.28.10
"Just read the
Risk.. post and you are one humble dude. The analysis of the
ratios and indicators you have flushed out I am pretty sure are yours.
I have read a tremendous amount of shit over the last 7 years
(paid and unpaid) and NOBODY is even in your league. It is about
as proprietary as it gets. Keep up the excellent work and thanks
for working your ass off to keep us on the right side of the trade.
God Bless and continue on with the humbleness." --Michael
C
12.13.10
"Hi Gary,You're
hitting the sweet spot. I don't know if it's because of my successful
actions based on your research I think that, or simply that you are
entering the zone of excellence and balance with your newsletter
difficult to describe in any other way. Either way, I know you are
getting better every year. When that long expected financial tsunami
overwhelms us all in ways yet unknown, at least I can say that of all
the people I read for information regarding the markets, you helped me
prepare by keeping me aware.
By the way,
I'll bet all of us subscribers love the alerts and none of us feels in
any way micromanaged; I like being micromanaged though.
Have a great
Christmas and New Year!" --Mark F 12.6.10
***Below is feedback from NFTRH's
first two years***
"Go for it
Gary... you are good, a great read and you have a unique voice so count
me in" --Jon A (Managing Director, International Brokerage
Firm, NYC) 9/25/08
"I like your
letter because it IS reputable and broad enough to provide good ideas
for research and consideration... I'll be an ongoing reader because I
consider your stuff head and shoulders better than any other letter
I've used, and there have been a few. Going through them was
expensive, but a lesson in itself." --Doug T 11/11/08
"I'm
continuously amazed how you use various indicators and more
importantly, how you evaluate their potential significance." --Jurgen
W
12/7/08
"Gary, I think you should
know this. I subscribe to you for one simple reason. You see outside
the box BETTER than most I've read and known, and you are good…" --Armando
R
12/8/08
"I am definitely in tune
with your approach. I read a lot, from a lot of different sources. You,
Elliot Wave, Safehaven, Prudent Bear, Big Gold, etc. And I am trying to
make sense of all of this. The bottom line is NOBODY knows what is
going to happen. All you can do is look at probable outcomes and manage
risk/reward, exactly like you said. That is why I subscribe to you. Not
because you are a guru, but exactly because you are not one. Because
nobody is, and so the honesty is very refreshing :)" --Mark
B 12/10/08
"I’m enjoying your NFTRH
immensely and finding it very helpful" --Ann F 12/31/08
"You’re much better by far
on TA than others I know, so you’re the man in that arena... I watch
the oils, currencies (including goldie) and PM miners, so we have
significant overlap. Now, I need to see when it makes sense to
long/short them in their inevitable rise and that would be your
role! Can you say “nearing resistance” or “nearing support”??...
Besides, we all need folks to suggest actions with which we may not
agree so we can examine why we don’t agree since we all have that
tendency to see what we want to see and pooh pooh things that don’t
match our current world view. I absolutely hate it when you or
Tim Wood say I am wrong as it forces me to doubt my position. I
wouldn’t have it any other way!" --Ron N 1/20/09
"Notes From The Rabbit Hole
(NFTRH), the weekly newsletter run by BiiWii Gary, has developed from a
good read to a truly great read on all things market"
--incakolanews.blogspot.com 1/25/09
"Hi Gary, Thanks for the great job you are
doing! For $26.00 per month not
only do you get a wealth information but the value is increased
immensely by the occasional emails you send out if things take a turn." --Doug M 1/29/09
"Completely agree. One of your best [NFTRH22]"
--Lawrence L (Managing Partner, International Equity Investment
Management Firm, Boston, MA) 2/28/09
"Thanks again for giving your well thought out and written
perspectives!" --Robert S 3/8/09
"You're incredible.....
Such great service comes with this newsletter." --Jerolyn
J 3/30/09
"I'm canceling my xxxx xxxx
subscript in order to keep yours. Might have to sell my body
to keep Russell, Lol... Thanks Gary. You are really on top of this
stuff. You would pooh pooh the 6th sense thing, but you are right
on it. Amazing." --Steve D 4/3/09
"Thanks
Gary , I had
my epiphany (seasonally timely!) this weekend…it’s inflation all the
way kid…the last bubble and the final frontier. Your thinking and
articulation are so very good." --Jon A (Managing
Director, International Brokerage Firm, NYC) 4/7/09
"Hi Gary, So first thanks
the intriguing insights. I do enjoy your writing style and I wind up
reading your newsletters 2-3 times anyway, though they are not as hard
to follow as I thought." --Mark P 4/14/09
"You had made a
recommendation to buy Gold Mining stocks (back in December?) and you
had said that it was a once in a life time opportunity. Well - I took
your advice and made an excellent realized gain. Thank
you!!! That gain certainly justifies the subscription cost.
Thanks again!" --Lyling H 4/15/09
"[I'm an] economist by
training, but I've recently learned to appreciate the
psychological side of things... I can now see the value in the
technical analysis (as the underlying is really mostly
psychology), hence why I like the added-value provided by your
newsletter!!!!" --Peter B 4/16/09
"Excellent and timely finger
pointing. Tripled my subscription return on a round trip" --Ron
N
5/1/09
"Hi Gary, I have now read these NFTRHs, and they are
excellent reading and very informative. The only trouble I see is your
claim to the "proprietary" brag-to-the-wife indicator. I have been back
testing just such an indicator, and I have concluded that it is an
excellent sell now indicator that I only wish I listened to more
:) I look forward to next week's." --Steve F
5/3/09 "Your comments are refreshing and reassure me that my
subscription is well placed" --6/2/09
"Excellent edition [NFTRH32] Gary" --Mark T
5/10/09
"Here’s a quote which you
are free to use : 'Thanks again Gary for the non-investment
thoughts in your NFTRH newsletter . Acting on the conclusions I
drew from your non-investment ideas, more very profitable trades.
Double digit ideas deserve a single malt response! Enjoy!'"
--Ron N 5/16/09
"Keep up the good
work. It's appreciated." --Joe C 5/21/09
"NFTRH pulls me back to
check the 'map' if you will. Your personal orientation....how you
do things....what you're looking at.....etc. All good
stuff." --Jerolyn J 5/21/09
"And thanks again for your
great service. In my opinion you are the best all around
investing letter. You come from an honest place and try to
educate and make some money. You are accomplishing that.
Warm regards," --Paul K 5/25/09
"Hi Gary, just subscribed
about a week ago and liking it a lot. Really opening my eyes up to some
things that I'm trying to research further." --Mark F
5/26/09
"Your comments today about
the subscriber cancellation were quite refreshing. They also reinforced
my reasons for subscribing to the letter. It is not that you are a
better technician than I am. Nor that you are a better observer of the
"human condition" (so important to trading successfully). Rather, it is
your ability to distill everything you see- and feel- into concise,
powerful statements. These statements force me to question my own
strategy, forcing me to be a better trader. You provide a dose of
reality which, I fear, I need more of each day." --Jeff
K 5/27/09
"Cheers to ya... I know
you'll keep a calm head while rabid gold bugs drool and howl at the
moon." --Scott H 5/29/09
"I live in the UK and given
our property boom, debt and [quantitative] easing, I feel that we
are going down the same the route as America. I currently have
purchased some physical gold and within the last two weeks purchased a
few gold stocks, picked mainly from Jay Taylor's Gold &
Technology newsletter. This weekend, while researching, I stumbled
upon your site. I felt you talked a lot of sense and have a good
grasp of the current financial crisis. It was your blog entry of
May 28th, 2009, that made me sit up and think whether, I was doing
the right thing by jumping in and buying gold stocks at this particular
point in time." --Paul T 6/1/09
"I really appreciate
your reasonably conservative perspective on the markets and especially
gold/miners. Having sold my business in 08 I spend a lot of time
following the economic show and the resource markets. I've already
learned some good stuff trading-wise from your efforts. Want (and
intend) to follow the blog more closely. I'll certainly stick
around for a while. Great work Gary. Thanks," --Bill H

"My pleasure Gary. Your
'free' blog insights have served my clients and my business well.
Figured it was time to start paying you back. Really appreciate your
passion, your objectivity and your work product. Cheers," --Paul A, Registered
General Securities Representative 6/10/09
"Hi Gary, Being used
to typos in everything lately, even mainstream articles and
commentaries, it is something that bothers few, I'm sure. But, one of
the reasons I subscribe to you, is that your perfectionist qualities
are admirable and reflect a concern that is rare and probably permeates
everything you do. You instill trust. Thanks for the good work." --Mark

"Hi Gary, As one of
the "I gotta get into the miners" at [HUI] 360 or so, I have saved
myself a considerable sum of money by listening to what you have been
saying. Good job!" --Steve F 6/23/09
"Good morning Gary, I
haven't dispatched a note of appreciation to you for a while; and
you're due one; hence, this... for me, this is a particularly fine
edition of Notes. What I like is your ongoing reminders of themes
- slow learner here - and your wonderful chart notes and commentary -
helping me learn how to see - and highlights like the falling wedge to
support being one of your favourite set ups - I underline and asterisk
educational snippets like that. Anyway, just thanks from
me. Kind regards," --Barbara F 7/12/09
"Actually, I'd
do a lifetime sub if you had it. Seriously. Keep up the
great work." --Stephen M 8/2/09
"Gary, thank
you for your work. It has great value to me, always keeping me
mindful of the larger market forces." --Dennis S 8/4/09
"Gary, Just a
note to say I am finding these mid week updates very very
helpful. Glad you are doing this." --David M
8/4/09
"Sir, I've only been
a subscriber for a short period of time and already I feel I'm getting
more than my money's worth.
I don't want someone to hold my
hand and tell me what to purchase. What I need is a sharp mind
explaining to me in near real time his or her thought process on
how to navigate this market without idealism, hope, propaganda or
blind bias.
As individual
investors or traders, the only way to "win" is to empower ourselves.
That only happens when we stop allowing other conflicted, biased people
with agendas think for us and begin to think for ourselves.
I need a shot of courage to act
on my beliefs. That courage comes from someone else examining my
beliefs for honesty, intelligence and common sense. Since you share my
beliefs and attitudes, you provide that third party review I so
desperately need.
If I don't have someone else
examine my thought process, I am prone to information bias where I
seek out confirming information and ignore contrary information. A sure
prescription for financial and emotional disaster if ever I saw one.
It seems you are exactly what I
need. Thank you." --Michael T 8/20/09
"Gary, Your
analysis and guidance are much appreciated by me and, I suspect, by
many others. No one has the answers or a window to the
future. Your discipline and respect for the truth communicated
only by charts is invaluable for those of us who struggle ever day with
emotion." --Dan G 9/2/09
"I have not taken the time to thank you for the wonderful
commentary and profitable ideas you have presented me. So, here
it is... Thank you!" --Doug M 9/16/09
"I appreciate
your candor and consider these missives like today to be an extremely
rare and valuable asset helping me to navigate through these wicked
waters." --Jay D 10/4/09
"Thanks again
for the great analysis." --Jason I 10/6/09
"Hi Gary, Well
that was a nice way to start the subscription. The analysis of
GDX is why I subscribed and your thoughts seemed to have been spot
on." --Guy P 11/3/09
"Gary, Many
thanks for your updates they are really appreciated. The updates
together with the newsletter help me enormously in planning my approach
to investing in the markets during these turbulent times. The
newsletter subscription is the best value out there." --Paul

"Hey Gary, I
for one really appreciate these frequent insights into what you are
thinking/feeling/doing - especially for projecting off of as a fellow
market participant." --Ray V 12/1/09
"Hi Gary,
Sold AAU at $1.23. You are brilliant! My devastating losses from last
year are not looking so bad anymore. Sure, I lost the profits I made,
but at least my initial investment is inching back, thanks to
you." --Mark F 12/3/09
"Gary, sometimes you just nail it; this is one of those
times." --Jon A 12/20/09
"Good (Green) Morning Gary, I am sure you saw this [LAM.to

You seem to have a knack for finding gems as they are ready to make a
move!" --Doug M 1/11/10

"Gary, Thanks for your updates: greatly
appreciated! Since I follow you and Otto Rock, I try to combine
fundamentals with technical buy and sell signals. Therefore, any
educational contributions along your lines of work I try to understand
and perhaps also use. So, keep it up, please!" --Jurgen
W 4/26/10
"Once again, please let me
say something here. You have Disciplined yourself in a
way that so few can control, and then you communicate
that and you do it with such feeling. Thats what I was
trying to say. Great Job! Now get back to
work." --Robert E 4/30/10
"These short
updates/alerts are often worth their weight in gold. Or at least
the subscription fee. :>) Thank you." Michael

appreciate your insights." --Will M 7/1/10
"Thanks for
your continuing excellent blog and newsletter. I'm getting a
superior education in the macro markets compared to anything else I've
been able to find anywhere. No bitches about the riddles here -
they make me think and research for myself, which is exactly what
I need to do..." --Mark F 7/1/10
"[Your]
TA view is well executed from a purely technical point of
view (I thought I was good until I found you) and I have
consistently admired the extreme discipline you exhibit in your
newsletter. In fact I'm a bit jealous.
While I'm sure
you don't see yourself as "extremely" disciplined, take it from a
person who studies human psychology closely, including examining myself
and my weaknesses. You have remarkable discipline, which ironically can
make your newsletter somewhat plain vanilla at times. I LOVE your
plain vanilla BTW. :>)" --Michael T 7/21/10
"Can I refer to
you as "G-Money"...because your updates are money." --Jordan

Strathmore and some of your other picks), I have to say your work is

"Hi Gary, thanks for
your prompt response and thanks for providing the NFTRH98 to finally
convince me. It was great reading. I'm not quite ready yet but think I
will subscribe soon." --Peter 8/25/10
"Was just reflecting today
on how much better educated and prepared I am today, thanks to NRTRH,
than I was two years ago when I got crushed by holding gold stocks
nearly all the way down. I only survived with my account intact because
I discovered your blog in Sept ‘08, had some cash in reserve, and began
buying like a maniac, per your insights, at HUI 150+. Reading your work
over the past two years has given me a crash course in risk management
and today I am a completely different kind of investor. I shudder to
think what would have happened if I hadn’t stumbled on your blog.
There’s no doubt I would have been gold bug roadkill." --Stephen

"Gary, I'm really liking and
appreciating that you are giving us your comments and observations
about individual stocks-- the technicals, why you like them and at what
price levels. I also appreciate you are telling us which stocks are
core portfolio holdings. So I just wanted to thank you for that; it's
been really helpful." --Sid A 9/10/10
"Gary, I am a long-time blog
reader who just recently subscribed to NFTRH and opened an account with
Tradeking. I wish this is something that I’d been able to do back when
you started the letter but I first had to get my “house in order” as
well as educate myself in the technical and psychological aspects of
the investment world. I feel that I’m now ready for taking a more
hands-on role in my investing and am confident that your insight and
hard work at NFTRH will help guide the way.
Recent
market
action
has
me
somewhat
concerned
that
I
may
have
missed
the
boat
before
the
“second
leg
up”
but, at the same time, I also know that
those with patience are usually rewarded with opportunity.
Finally,
I’d
like
to
thank
you
for
your
thoughts
over
the
years
at
the
blog.
You’re
a
genuine
voice
which long ago moved me -- and I’m sure numerous
other readers-- to action in so many ways that the value of your words
has been immeasurable." --Tom A
9/16/10
Gary, First of
all, thank you for your newsletter. It's the best money I've ever spent
on a "financial" letter. Your macro views and insights are as valuable
as your stock analyses." --Ken B 9/26/10
"Gary, Thanks for your TA input on Troy. I've
carried a large position & began selling last week $3.20. Looks like I'll get $3.40 on Wed. What a
timely move by the Austr. $. Has added about .40 to the Cdn.
price.
Anyway thanks
for your help re call of $3.10 to $3.50. Very much appreciated." --Joe C 10/5/10
"Hi Gary, After
I read Sunday’s NFRTH, I had a couple of things that came up in my mind
that I wanted to tell you. First, thank you for helping investors like
me. I have money to manage but I just don’t have a knack for technical
analysis. You provide a great service to your subscriber because you do
have a knack and you also answer emails, [are] open to good suggestions
(GDX and GDXJ), and you welcome and ask for subscribers’ feedback. Most
of all – your writing has improved tremendously! I believe I have been
a subscriber since late 2008 and your writing has become much more
clear and articulate.
I know you have mentioned Richard Russell in the past and his
impressive subscriber base. I am one of his subscribers. You know what
I like about him? He is an excellent writer. He is so good that I enjoy
reading his letters even though sometimes he rambles on and on non-Dow
Theory matters. And you Gary – you have improved tremendously so I want
to commend you! With your ability with technical analysis and
communicating clearly to your subscribers – Wow!
The most important thing is- I have made money thanks to you!! J Gosh
URG has been running! Thanks Gary! By the way, what I like about GDXJ
because it is easy to buy and sell. The junior minors are thinly
traded.
Thanks for your time and effort." --Lyling H 11/5/10
"Hi Gary,
Are you taking any profits today on any stock in particular? I don't
want to overstay my welcome just because of the wowser jump yesterday.
It seems a lot of stuff is getting overbought. I canceled my
subscription to XXXXXXXX XXXXXXX today. XXXXXXXX has been warning of a
big correction in gold and gold stocks for so long now, he'll
eventually be right, but his forecasting has been wretched so far, and
his website actually offers so much information it would take me hours
each day to digest it all. You keep it simple." --Mark F
11/5/10
"Gary
During the past year I've made some serious coin. I'm blaming you
for a large portion thereof.
Seriously, thanks very much for the excellence of your weekly
letter. I also have to mention what a great 1-2 punch when
combined with Otto's contributions. I'm looking at replacing Ventana
with Yamana or Minefinders. Do you have a preference?" --Joe
C
11/19/10
"I'm only
subbed to Xxxxx Xxxx's newsletter for another week or so...
frankly, I find you and Otto Rock to be a much better value for the
money." --John M 11/28/10
