Quotes from our founders and investor-researchers
These are the people who know and use GoldNerds more
than anyone. They are all investors who were drawn to help create the
service, because they all wanted this kind of data for their own
investments. They are paid on a royalty basis and are available for
interviews. These are personal views and comments, not necesssarily
GoldNerds views, and are not intended as recommendations or advice.

"Over
the years I've subscribed to several different services, and I used to
scour websites for fundamental information before I bought a share.
GoldNerds is the dream source of all the data on the gold sector that
I've been looking for over the last ten years. Now it's right at my
fingertips. I'm delighted with our team of 12 investors and researchers. There's no way I could get this information on my own."
Dr David Evans, ASX investor for 18 years, and Founding Director, GoldNerds.
"I have been following the gold sector closely now for 6 years and am
amazed at some of the valuations we've uncovered with the research.
These are companies that no one seems to have noticed and I certainly
wouldn't have come across them without this kind of help."
"GoldNerds helped me pick a good time to exit. For example: Norton’s half yearly came out and their balance sheet had deteriorated substantially. I sold at $0.48
and the share price is now $0.395. Only time will tell whether this was a
good move but with GoldNerds data I could see the financial risk associated with this company had increased
dramatically."
Troy Schwensen, GoldNerds Research Analyst, and Editor, Global Speculator
"I've been following precious metal companies here and in North America for
over 4 years. A product like GoldNerds would have saved days of tedious trawling
through share listings in search of undiscovered companies with gold
exposure. Its a great starting point to short list undervalued
candidates. One of my favourite tools is EV per mineable ounce, which immediately identifies those companies
at similar stages of development which are comparatively expensive. Whilst this can be attributed to factors
such as sovereign risk, highly prospective ground or large multimillion
ounce deposits, there can be other agendas at play such as broker
recommendations based on lucrative underwriting deals. GoldNerds restores
the balance of objectivity and empowers investors to undertake their own due
diligence. This is not a product for passive investors expecting to be
spoonfed with stock tips. The imminent release of a North American version
will be well worth the wait."
Jan Schwensen, GoldNerds Research Analyst, and Editor, Global Speculator
GoldNerds helps me to avoid
companies with marginal resource grades and companies in a difficult
financial position. Since it started, I have personally invested
in stocks with 1 Moz or more with good grades and no hedging, based on
the value of the company compared to resource ounces. I'd wish I'd
known some of this information a long time ago. If you go back and look at the
52 week highs and lows you will notice gains in the order of 100-500%
with a few losers based on this formula. In recent times CGX, HEG*, KAL
& SBM have been my best performers. Generally, I sell half my
stock every time it doubles. No need to be too greedy. It is always of
course a question of timing but I believe these gains are possible in
the future. *HEG was selected on potential- a particular category developed especially for GoldNerds.
Bert Aarts, Investor and GoldNerds Research Analyst
"For
any single investor, researching the whole gold sector would be
daunting. I use GoldNerds as the ultimate reference library for
identifying new opportunities amongst junior exploration stocks. I
enjoy the snapshot approach which highlights the stocks I would like to
further research."
Wayne Lennox, GoldNerds Research Analyst and Investor
"When
I started researching gold companies I had no idea it would be so
difficult to find basic information like their proven resources. I'd
expect to find it on the home page, but instead I'd have to read
complex multi-project resource statements from an out-of-date summary
page, then I'd have to read the latest announcements as well. And, for
some companies, they'd have sold off parts of resources without stating
how much. Or they have announced an upgrade to a project, but listed a
subtotal for a vein within a project. Gah! It was like solving a Maths
101 quiz."
Joanne Nova, Investor & Founding Director of GoldNerds
