No longer a true "weekly" since our incredible 2002-2003 accumulate and hold success, our unique position-trading and trend-following philosophy primarily uncovers well-sponsored shells and proven management teams entering our chosen sectors. This requires far less activity and provides exceptional upside opportunities. This has proven to be the number one way to uncover multi-baggers while keeping the risk level relatively minimal. Of course we reserve the right to adopt to changing market conditions in the future.
There is a rare opportunity in the resource sector likely to provide spectacular returns for several more years into the future. Our portfolio is particularly well positioned to capitalize from such an environment. I cut my teeth in the small-cap resource sector, and through careful research and understanding who's who, it is to me a relatively low-risk approach to what would normally be considered a high-risk undertaking. The proof is in the pudding.
Richard Reinhard (a nom de plume), the editor of Growth Stocks Weekly, is a 24-year veteran of the "Street". Richard is a former Registered Investment Advisor, options trader and VP of a century-old full-service brokerage firm. An obsessive practitioner of technical analysis for over 20 years, Richard also has a strong academic background including a Commerce degree in Organizational Behaviour, a professional designation as a Chartered Accountant, and a member of the Market Technicians Association in New York.
Richard got the investing bug during the 1978-1982 resource and real estate market run-up when he managed to sell off his entire physical silver position at $50.00 per ounce, flip his first condo for a cash-on-cash return of 5600% in six months, and take advantage of the appreciating diamond market's wholesale-retail spread with some ad-hoc arbitrage. Fortunately, the regional 1982-1984 real estate bust provided a much-needed lesson in humility - the double-edged sword of leverage and the value of quick liquidity. Ouch!
His equity focus is identifying secular growth trends and the companies most likely to benefit from these macro trends. Stocks are identified through fundamental analysis, although basic technical analysis is used in determining entry and exit points. Richard spends far too much of his time reading economic reports and opinion, sifting through public-company records and rubbing elbows with the entrepreneurs and proven company-builders focused on methodical wealth-creation, at least when he's not playing tennis or spending time raising his second crop of children.
Richard maintains extensive contacts and connections within and outside the investment industry and internationally. The objective is simply to uncover the best re-structuring "shell" and early-stage opportunities with a fair shot to become potential 10-baggers.
Richard seeks to maintain an anonymous and low-key profile, not only to facilitate access to industry professionals and entrepreneurs, but to keep at a distance the uber-promotional and less-altruistically inclined promotors seemingly indifferent to the hopes and dreams of investors and the value of their hard-earned capital.
At this stage in his life, Richard shuns the investment conference circuit, preferring financial achievement through consistent portfolio performance, not subscription dollars.
For Richard, this website's more public forum is a natural evolution for his enthusiasm to share investment insights with friends, relatives and acquaintances, and encourages continued discipline for his passion for finding and participating in compelling early-stage opportunities.
Subscriptions are limited to 1,000 in order to avoid influencing thinly-traded early-stage markets.
We invite you to join with us to position into the most lucrative market opportunity we are likely to see in our lifetime!
