We live in a global economy where it makes sense to explore the multitude of markets that are available to choose from. Here at The Global Speculator we leave no stone unturned in our quest to discover precious metals companies with the best potential. Our research spans over 10 exchanges from around the world. We have found that many exchanges deal with certain target areas better than others and in order to comprehensively give yourself the best choice you need to broaden your horizons. We have a strong partnership with GoldNerds which presently markets one of the most comprehensive and sophisticated research tools available, offered in both Australian and North American versions. We are very excited about the ongoing development of the products and are confident that subscribers are receiving a first class service. For a look at the companies presently covered in the recently released North American Version click here.
GoldNerds allows investors to take a mountain of publicly available information and slice and dice it in such a way as to provide a useful shortlist of companies to focus their attention on. You essentially tell the spreadsheet what you want to see in a gold mining company and the spreadsheet will generate a list of companies ranked according to your specific needs. The Professional version of the product now plays an integral role in our day to day research. To see examples of how we presently apply the product profitably I encourage you to visit the GoldNerds Corner section on the home page. Alternatively to view the results of some of our ealier research using the product see the tables below. Back in May 09 we ran two searches. One for Gold producing stocks and the other for gold stocks with advanced development stage assets. The process we undertook is explained in the following article: How to Scan for Quality Gold Stocks Using GoldNerds Pro. For the development stage search we simply filtered for (D)evelopment stage companies instead of (P)roducers. The results thus far have been extremely encouraging. To undertake the same research using the latest information I encourage you to sign up for a GoldNerds Subscription.

Alternatively we are occasionally invited to share gold stock recommendations for an Australian investment Newsletter called Diggers and Drillers. Each recommendation has a detailed appraisal of how we arrive at our choice, using the specific criteria we deem important when making investment decisions. We outlined these details along with 5 of our favorite gold stocks back in the December 08 issue which you can read by clicking here.
For a look at the latest Diggers and Drillers research which presently focuses on a little understood commodity in lithium and an Australian stock which could deliver the goods, I encourage you to click here.
