Thank you for your insights and opinions. Your latest HHT of 6 March gave me a good laugh -- as well as good information, of course.

Love the HHT. Great service.
HHT is most unusual and useful. Many of your recommendations have soared. Even in a tricky market like this one, your picks hold up pretty well. HHT really knows the metals & stocks.

Nice call over the week-end from HedgehogTrader Newsletter. First trade already worth yearly subscription!

Nicholas,
This morning I was out the door before the markets opened. So, I put in a limit order to buy Romios Gold, RMIOF at .46. I already have a position that is up well over 100%. The bad news was the order was not filled. The good news was RMIOF was up 26.1% for the day. WOW!! – This is the largest single day up movement I have ever seen.

Hi Nicholas,
A few years back Sean Morton recommended I follow you, that trading stocks was going to be the best way to follow gold's rise. I didn't know anything about trading but started following you anyway... and I bought some gold and silver coins and opened a brokerage account.
Soon after, I lost my job, started renting out my residence as a vacation rental and the family stayed at my sisters ...when the house was rented.... I also consulted but seeming as my bills were 10k/month at the time I lost my job, that was still not enough. Cashing in gold coins helped kept me afloat for that year and a half of being unemployed, but I also started trading.
The only advice that help was yours!
The money I made trading made all the difference, I was able to make all my bill payments. Last year I made 180k the most I ever made totalling all income streams, even though I was unemployed for 6 months of it!
I have just bought a house in Boise, you may know how hard it is to buy a house these days, but I will be able to keep some money in my brokerage. I didn't sell my house in CA and I have had emergency after emergency pop up, but still able to purchase the second home.
To make a long story short, Thanks! You and Sean have made the difference in my life that without, like a house of cards (that most of us lead our lives), could have come tumbling down. But didn't.

(Ed. Note: I am inspired and amazed by your story. Yours is a reminder that life is not always kind - it's a credit that you fought against all adversity and made your dreams a reality. I am very happy for you!)

Hi Nicholas,
My thanks and gratitude for the Wildcat Silver play yesterday!
It was truly amazing to see it rise so quickly from $0.40 to 2.50 overall and from 1.78.-2.50 in last week alone!
I so appreciated your support in helping me sell a majority of those shares at the top!
With eternal gratitude and thanks for all the individual support you have shared in my process of learning to trade commodity stocks.
Blessed Day,Donna

I can't believe the metals. I'm getting tired of doubting you!

Nicholas: thanks to our wee email conversation of last week on Potash Passport you have been following for some time and which I just caught on to - "your endorsement tongue in cheek" that you have been twittering it for ages gave me the confidence to buy 3,000 shares at .45 cents - now today zippers, it is singing.

(Ed. Note: Quite incredibly, this agricultural wonder Passport Potash PPI.V nearly quadrupled right after this email! Best of all, not only did this *potash* stock soar to $1.80, but a kindly old lady (in a pleasant irony) who is an avid *gardener* living on a pension, saw her spirits soar, as well!)

Eric King interviewed James Dines last week and was praised for being the first, in May, to call the Rare Earths market explosion to come. My compliments to you as you called it much sooner. Maybe Dines reads you.
Keep up the good work.

On another note, let me extend my appreciation once again for your continued research efforts and stock recommendations. Like you mentioned, things are rocking. I saw a +10.4% increase in my diversified portfolio (I hold all stocks recommended in HHN, HHHR, HSO, and Special Reports) in just the last three days of this past week. MUCHAS GRACIAS

Keep up the great work. As a suscriber, the crises and melt-downs come and go, and we just keep dipping in and out with profitable trades.
POM/PLM already provided one load of profit --- looking forward to another surge.
Many thanks.

Hello! I found out about you a while back from Sean David Morton. I followed your blog.
You were able to call the top of the gold market back in January 2008 (or 2007). Anyway, you were so right on. It was a Monday morning. You were so great to offer that advice free back then.

Dear Nicholas
It’s time for our “Mexico Fix”, so my wife and I are leaving for Mazatlan next Wednesday for 10 days. It’s harder to go this time of year, as summer is approaching with warmer weather for Spokane.
What I'm hoping for is another Corex Gold discovery. Your recommendation for that company came when we were in Cabo San Lucas in late March/early April, and obviously, it has been a BIG WINNER. The biggest challenge as an investor is deciding which of the many selections you provide is going to be the “horse to ride”. For the last year, I’ve followed your cautions and invested a specific amount into each company, thus spreading the risk.
That risk/reward management plan has proven to be a WINNER, and I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for all the research time and steady stream of communication you provide to us investors. My overall portfolio has grown dramatically, and in spite of one down day in the last six, my portfolio (mid six figures) has advanced 9 ½ % in that short period of time alone. So, from the recesses of my heart and soul, MUCHAS GRACIAS, MUCHAS GRACIAS, MUCHAS GRACIAS!!!
Additional good news is that I will have my laptop with me in Mazatlan, so no recommendation will go idle. With margarita or cerveza in hand, I plan to help you dig up another hot Mexican gold mining prospect. Keep up the outstanding work.
Your amigo

Very nice!
I'm going to have to go public with Hedgehog, you are just too good.
My dad has been going crazy trying to refute my discussions about your work. It is driving him crazy, and my wife she can't stand our arguing over stocks. I am consumed by it.......

I' ve been a big supporter of yours and turned a lot of people onto you. Your blog & HHT is great. No, awesome. It almost has become an US vs them (illuminas) scenario as they have brutalized with this phony bailout and finally come out of the shadows ... yeah more like robbery - blue light giveaway special on aisle 666 Thanks!

Nice call on today being a great day to be in gold! Curtis J. Sept 18 2008
Jan, 2008 Dear Winton, i thought i would add that i applaud you for not limiting yourself to only one sectour of the market. to open a HHT newslettre and find a .20cent junior recommendation next to WALL-MART is exquisette. (don't mind my spelling).
J. Gastal, USA
Ed Note. That junior tripled in two months. :) We banked 5% on Walmart and watched it tumble 20% and Walmart hadn't plunged like THAT in over a year.

Hi Nicholas,
Your Barrick pick was awesome! 40+
Your VMS pick that i made a little money off of is about 0.60 cents, kudos to you! I know that you cannot be 100% correct all of the time but a lot of your calls are very good and I can tell you have done your research as well as using your Alpha models. Better than getting your stock picks from the tv, haha. Take care and look forward to HHT #11, Steve Eng, Toronto
(Ed. Note: our Barrick recommendation shot up from $28 to over $40. What was just as satisfying is that Barrick shares did absolutely nothing for a year until a week after we recommended it. Our Alpha Signals nailed the timing, perfectly!

Hi Mr Winton,
Thanks for the quick reply, I will stay with you until my subscription runs out then, thank-you.
You have an excellent business, and I compliment you on providing a unique effective service. I looked at ALL the options out there, and chose you from amongst all the options.
I have recommended you highly to my friends, some of whom have subscribed I think. The only reason I wanted to cancel is I am not doing any more heavy investing
I visited your [Marketocracy.com) site and was very impressed with your growth rates, plus I was very happy to find a CANADIAN service.
You should apply to be a guest on Coast to Coast, it would really boost your business with 11 million listeners!?
Anyhow, I wish you all good things and happy blessings,
All the best,

Thanks for the info on Paladin and uranium stocks In general, I will be sure to use some caution there.
First, let me congratulate you on your call about Railpower, you nailed that totally!
I did not buy on your initial recommendation which turned out to be fortunate, but I did not resist your continued support for the stock and I ended up buying it at 64 cents. I still have it but will see if I can take some profits as you suggest.

Dear Nicholas THANK YOU THANK YOU I wanted to express my appreciation not only for a wonderful recommendation, but also for a spectacular trade. I purchased shares when you first informed HHR subscribers about the "potential". I accumulated, over a month's period of time, 146,000 shares. I followed your suggestion to sell on 9/20 - 9/21, and cashed out 70,000 shares, thus recouping all my initial investment. That left me with 76,000 shares, which I sold this morning at .62 for a BIG profit. I wanted to take the time and make sure to express my gratitude. Sometimes it's very easy to let slip away the courtesy of sending a "kudo". I imagine it's easier to criticize than praise, and I would guess that the August debacle brought out the naysayers in droves. I always look forward to your next and newest recommendations, so keep up the excellent work.
Sincerely
Frank Sell

Hi Nicholas ! Wow this hurts (Ed. Note: referring to gold correction of Aug '06), but my NAK short is up $4.17 (per share!). (Ed. Note: free blog recommendation to short NAK.) But it's kinda like licking the smeared frosting off the empty cake dish. Once again I'm keeping the faith in your large efforts lately. Thanks for the encouraging updates on the blog.

Big Dave Dear Nicholas; Its 1:30 and I just closed a short trade of SLW for $1.13/share profit. To a cautious newby trader this is manna from heaven. Or from alphas predictions that you are reading perfectly. Just want to encourage your hard work for my benefit. Thanks again.

Nicholas,
Thanks, again, for everything. I usually do not subscribe to investment newsletters or services, but I have given your newsletter a chance and I am exuberant that I have. My everyday employment is income is good, but everyone needs the extra boost in returns from investing. HHT is now the turbo boost for my portfolio!!
You have a golden, poetic prose which I am assuming probably matches your overall being.
With prosperous wishes, Brian

Jan 1 2007:
Any time you want to wax poetic, couplets or whatever, be my guest. Your call on the above (Railpower) was spectacular. I bought my first 1000 shares at $1.88, and the final 4000 shares between 45 and 55 cents. Many thanks for the Alpha profits. I'm considering subscribing to your other service and will decide soon. As you may recall, I have subscribed to The Dines Letter for a number of years. He has been thoughtfully, exuberantly, wildly bullish on uranium for a number of years. […] Perhaps great minds, and good analysis follow similar paths.
At any rate, many thanks for your concise and most profitable Hedgehog service. Have a fruitful, peaceful and prosperous New Year.
Again, Nicholas, many thanks for your analytical prescience. Yours in peace,
John K.
