1) How can I trust any offer on the World Wide Web?
Great question. No one likes to "get taken." I certainly don't.
That's why you are reading this FAQ. Deep inside, your judgment is telling you that PennyGold is for real ... but you still have some doubts. If I was in your place, I certainly would.
Guess what? That combination of good judgment and healthy doubt is the ideal blend required to make you a successful PennyGold investor.
Would you like to know what else you need to really succeed with PennyGold? Motivation.
I offer tons of proof, proof verifiable by you, that PennyGold and Ken Evoy are for real. For example, when was the last time you saw testimonials with full names and telephone numbers?
If you have some doubts about PennyGold, but are not motivated enough to investigate further, then you probably are not motivated enough to make money with PennyGold. And since that is the ONLY way that you WON'T make money with PennyGold, you are better off passing on this opportunity.
Because doubt without motivation is a killer. It stops you from taking actions to advance in life (and it will stop you from making the right investment decisions with PennyGold). Doubt is good, IF you have the motivation to investigate matters to the point where you can confirm or eliminate your doubt. Otherwise, doubt paralyzes.
Here's another example of motivation. If you still have a shadow of a doubt, you owe it to yourself to download PennyGold Tracker and the entire database of PennyGold transactions ... all 328 of them ... all supported by scans of the actual confirmation reports.
One final example of motivation? Phone me at my direct line (450-458-1064). Ask me the hardest questions you can.
Why do I want you to check PennyGold and me out so thoroughly? Two reasons:
Bottom line? Don't let this opportunity slip by. When you see a product as effective as PennyGold, , one that is so thoroughly proven by documentation, one that provides you with so many concrete ways to verify, one backed by an iron-clad guarantee ... go for it, because you just won't find that combination very often. This single decision will change your investing future. But, as in any other aspect of life, only those who take bold, but well-informed, steps change their future.
2) What about the bad reputation of penny stocks?
Many government bodies and consumer organizations such as the Better Business Bureau
rightly alert the population about all kinds of scams, and penny stocks certainly
have had more than their share.
Here's how people typically lose money in penny stocks. A broker calls a client and says, "Joe, I've got a great stock for you. Its PennyMine Inc. and the stock is at $1.40. It was only a nickel a year ago and it's sure to hit $10." So naturally the client buys. The stock, of course, ends up back at a nickel within a year. This is the usual course of a penny stock scam.
Guess what? When "Joe the outsider" and thousands like him/her are buying stock at $1.40, who do you think is selling it to them? Yup, the "insiders."
But the fact that there are scams in penny stocks actually helps PennyGold. You see, the key concept is to buy penny mining stocks at a time when they are almost dead, and then wait for as long as it takes for them to explode in value. PennyGold shows you:
Now, believe it or not, I don't usually know when or why a stock is going to increase in price. But it almost always does. These stocks move for a variety of unforeseeable reasons, including:
Yes, there are a lot of scams/manipulations/promotions that cause penny mining stock prices to gyrate wildly. With PennyGold, you simply buy and sell on the right side of the gyration.
3) I worry giving out my credit card information to somebody I do not know -- I only "met" you 15 minutes ago.
So do I. So do a lot of people. It's only natural to worry that a fraud artist might:
That's why I provide lots of ways for you to check out my background and my references.
Of course, this brings us back to the "doubt without motivation" discussion in the first question of this FAQ. But if you do your homework, you'll know that:
Two small side points:
1) We also accept certified checks and money orders -- just print this form and mail it to us.
2) Here's something the credit card companies don't want you to know:
if someone ever fraudulently charges your credit card, your liability is limited to a small amount (usually around $50, it varies slightly depending on where you live). The credit card company has to absorb the rest. That's no reason to be less vigilant, but at least it takes a weight off your mind.
4) PennyGold seems too good to be true. Can I really earn these rates or return?
PennyGold is based on a solid concept AND has been proven in practice. If you want to see rock-solid evidence of every single transaction that I have made with PennyGold, download the entire database of transactions, all supported by scans of the actual confirmation reports. Then do the calculations for yourself.
Because I KNOW how methodically it was worked in the past, and because I know that the solid reasoning behind the basic concept guarantees that it will work in the future, I also make your purchase totally risk-free and mistake-proof by offering you the "10-TIMES-YOUR-MONEY GUARANTEE." It's very simple -- if you haven't made 10 times your purchase price after a year of using PennyGold, just ask me for your money back.
PennyGold is "not too good to be true" for the same reason that a hammer is "not too good to be true." They are both just tools. A hammer will not build a house for you. If I was giving you tips that promise untold wealth, that would be too good to be true.
Let me repeat ... PennyGold is just a powerful tool. You still have to do the research and apply your brainpower.
PennyGold will show you how to do it ... but YOU have to do it.
Of course, anyone who believes that they can make money in any other way is doomed to a lifetime of disappointments.
5) I don't live in Canada. How can I "do" PennyGold?
Thanks to the Internet, it doesn't matter whether you live in Canada, the U.S., Australia, Malaysia, or Bora Bora. The information that you need is readily available on the Web, no matter which country you call home.
Furthermore, the PennyGold principles will work for any treasure-hunting junior mining company. It does not matter whether it trades on a Canadian, American, Australian, or any other stock exchange ... as long as it is the type of company that generates "greed-then-grief" in the amateurs!
Canada is, of course, a world leader in natural resources. So our financial system is perhaps the best developed to support these kinds of companies. And while there is an ever-increasing number of Web sites that supply the PennyGold data free of charge, the Canadian data is the most easily available.
Brokers? PennyGold provides details on all the nuts and bolts of getting started. If your own local broker is not able to execute your orders to buy penny mining stocks, PennyGold recommends brokers who can, regardless of where you live.
In today's borderless, digital world, you can buy Canadian stocks even if you live in Tahiti. Or Australian stocks off the Perth Stock Exchange, even if you live in Iceland!
6) What's the difference between PennyGold and penny stock newsletters and other recommendation services?
Look up "penny stock" as a key word on any search engine. You will find many Web sites touting penny stocks -- they may be called "recommendation newsletters" or "hot stock services" or "penny stock tip sites" but they're all the same. They make money by providing their stock ideas to those who don't want to do their own research.
None of them work. Think about it for a second and you'll realize why they can't.
Recommendations are passive ... you just wait for the tips to come to you, when the author is ready to release them. They always come too late ... long after the insiders have loaded up on the stock. Insiders promote the stock (I call this "the story") because they look for someone to sell to ... at a profit.
Many newsletters are just part of "the story."
Worse, newsletter writers often have a big position in the stock BEFORE they recommend it. So they tout the stock, and make money when it goes up just because of their newsletter. But YOU don't make money because thousands of you receive the recommendations at the same time. So by the time you get the newsletter, the best tips have already had a big rise in price.
Worse still, some of these services even accept money to be recommended! The SEC recently fined one prominent Internet penny stock recommendation site over $100,000 for accepting money from penny stock companies ... money paid in order to be recommended by the site!
Passive recommendations teach you nothing, and since you don't learn any skills, you become dependent on others. When you accept the ideas of others, you do not "lead the story," you are just part of it ... and doomed to failure.
PennyGold and its two e-zines, RealTime and Update, are far better than any "passive-recommendation" newsletters. To make big money in penny stocks, you have to "get in" before the insiders decide to move a stock. There are ways to identify these stocks, investigate them, buy them, and sell them for a profit. That's what you do with PennyGold.
But YOU do it. PennyGold is an InfoTool ... a book with a toolbox inside. It gives you all the tools you need to succeed at penny stocks. PennyGold helps you gather the data you need, analyzes it for you, and gives you a strong strategic framework upon which to base wise decisions.
With PennyGold, you are ACTIVE ... you "lead the story."
You have to be ACTIVE, not passive. If you passively follow the recommendations of others, you will be part of the 97% who lose money at penny stocks over and over again. It's that simple ... there are no exceptions.
Bottom line? With PennyGold, you join the 3% who make money off the 97% who follow the recommendations of others.
7) How can I succeed with PennyGold if I know nothing about mining and little about penny stocks?
PennyGold provides you with a fool-proof step-by-step approach that anyone can do. No investing experience is necessary. From a zero knowledge base, you will acquire a new and valuable skill.
No need to learn complicated investing concepts. Nor must you take a course in geology. PennyGold works at a completely different level.
This is NOT a get-rich-quick scheme, but if you apply the principles of PennyGold, you WILL make money with it .. steadily and surely ... year after year.
8) Isn't this very high-risk?
It may seem high-risk, but I have only had 3 losing trades out of 25. That's because
PennyGold focuses first and foremost on eliminating the truly dead company ...
the one with no chance for "one more ride."
As you may have noted, 25 trades is not an awful lot over 6 years. PennyGold screens and analyzes until it finds the perfect one ... one that I like to call "an option without an expiration date."
Despite this remarkable track record, I can't tell you that it's low-risk either. Please see the following.
9) I only have $1,000 with which to try PennyGold. How should I invest it?
Be very patient. Spend as long as it takes for PennyGold to find one extremely high-rated stock. Invest $500 in that company. When you find another, invest the other $500. If you have $2,000, split it among three companies.
This way, even if you only have $1,000-$2,000, you divide the risk among two or three companies. Remember, although PennyGold's first goal is to reduce the risk of each investment, anything can happen if you place the entire amount in only one stock.
10) How easy is it to get my money back with your guarantee?
The guarantee is iron-clad. There are only two steps:
11) How about a penny stock tip?
I do NOT want to turn PennyGold into another "hot tip" or
"recommendation" type service, for two reasons:
While the RealTime MONTHLY newsletter does feature a list of stocks with all my up-to-date PennyGold research, the intent is NOT for you to "cherry-pick" my best findings. My goal for the MONTHLY is actually for you to get so good that you don't need to re-subscribe. And you will ... I guarantee it.
12) How about a 30-day trial version?
Future InfoTools will generally use a 30 day trial version -- it's my favorite sales format. If you like it, you buy it! If you don't, you don't (the software expires after 30 days). That's fair for everyone.
If I could offer PennyGold as a trial, I would. But I can't. Why?
Well, in the words of more than one PennyGold user, "The information in the book alone is worth several times the price of PennyGold. It's an ingeniously simple strategy. The software (which provides the tools to use the information) makes this an incredible value."
A trial version would put this valuable information in the hands of too many unscrupulous people. In order to keep PennyGold powerful, I am only selling 1,000 units -- a 30 day trial offer would make no sense in this context.
However, to be fair to those who visit this Web site, our "no-trials" policy puts the onus on me to give you more than enough information to make a solid, educated decision. After all, I know that this is a robust and effective product. PennyGold users know it too. But YOU don't.
That's why the Web site provides:
If you thoroughly investigate this Web site, it will prove to you that PennyGold delivers exactly what's promised. Period.
13) What about non-mining penny stocks?
The way to make money at penny stocks in the most time-efficient way possible is to rifle-shoot -- find a single industry and master it. If you try to be a "jack of all trades," you will be slaughtered by the experts who specialize. So, the most important advice I can give you is to specialize in an industry, or even in a sector of an industry.
Here's why PennyGold rifle-shoots penny mining stocks:
a) The junior mining companies "behave predictably." Mining exploration stocks exhibit reliable, recurring "greed-then-grief" cycles that generate huge price swings. PennyGold simply buys low and sells high. It's that simple.
b) A failed effort does not kill the company. It merely starts another exploration effort/promotion all over again a year or two later (the memories of amateurs are short, and there are always new "players" entering the game). This recurring yo-yo effect virtually guarantees that if you follow the PennyGold process* and buy a stock when it is "comatose," you will sell it about a year later for several times your purchase price.
*The PennyGold process: find a company that appears dead, investigate to make sure it's not about to delist, find a few positive factors that the market has forgotten about, and then call the Prez with a few key questions. PennyGold shows you how to do all this, gives you the tools to do it, and provides you with complete analysis of the data that you accumulate.
c) Best of all, PennyGold plays against "dumb money." Using PennyGold is like playing tennis against someone without a tennis racket. Amateurs buy because their broker tells them about a "hot mining company that was selling for a dime a year ago, it's now at $0.90, and you should really buy it because it will be over $5.00 by this time next year." Basically, by accumulating a small amount of key information, you generate a huge edge over the "play a hunch" masses, WITHOUT requiring you to be a mining expert or financial analyst (which you DO need to be if you are interested in SENIOR mining companies).
d) Other industries are just too much work. For example, if you want to make money picking "high-tech" penny stocks, you have to become an expert in the specific technology, in the competition, in evaluating a management team, in analyzing financial statements, etc., etc. And you'll have to do it better than a lot of other smart people. PennyGold just wants to make money as simply and efficiently as possible.
Please review the basic concept of PennyGold for more information. PennyGold is THE most time-efficient way to make money in penny stocks. But if this approach is not of interest to you, do not buy it intending to use it for other industries. Too much of it just won't apply.
14) It's hard to get a fair price with the huge gaps between the bid and the ask for many penny stocks. How do you address that problem?
PennyGold stocks trade on large, recognized, liquid exchanges ... no Pink Sheets here ... no huge gaps between the bid and ask prices. We do not look at those difficult, illiquid "Pink Sheet" companies. If you happen to like them, of course, you can still apply the PennyGold principles. But they are not for me.
15) Do you have to talk to the President of a penny mining stock company? What if someone is too shy to speak to the President of a company? Wouldn't he/she refuse to answer questions from a person with very little to invest? Is talking to the President necessary to succeed with PennyGold?
This is a great series of questions!
Let's review the PennyGold process. First, you use PennyGold to screen thousands of potential penny stocks down to maybe 20-40 companies (takes minutes). Then you use PennyGold and the Web to narrow that down to a "short list" of 4 or 5. PennyGold help you find your best candidate ... based on your info up to that point.
Once you've got this narrowed down to ONE really great-looking company, you call the Prez. So you're not calling thousands of presidents.
You do it by phone, not face-to-face. Don't worry about being shy ... it's better if you are. Write down what you want to say. With PennyGold, you'll know what you want ... you'll be prepared ... so you'll have no trouble.
Let's say you really get "stage fright" the first time. Terrific! The more you stutter, the more you disarm the President ... everyone likes to help people who are trying, but shy. The last thing you want to be is a "too cool smoothie!" The penny stock world is full of these people.
Go ahead and stumble ... it doesn't matter. Once you've called a few Prez's, you'll get a lot better at it. But don't get TOO smooth, or you'll put the Prez on alert that you're a "smart guy." So remember those days when you were an "unsure stutterer" ... stay "uncool" and shy... you'll do better.
The Prez WILL always talk to you, for three reasons:
1) That's part of his job.
2) He has no idea whether you want to invest hundreds... or hundreds of thousands!
3) The stock is almost dead -- he's got time. But when the stock
price and volume explode, you'll never get him to return your call!
(At that point, of course, I don't really care -- I'm making money again).
Calling the Prez is an important part of what separates you from the "penny stock losers." Very few people do this. Remember, this is a contest against the 97% who lose money "playing" at penny mining stocks. You're not here to lose. You're here to win.
16) You say that even an absolute beginner can learn and use PennyGold ,but what if you don't have a broker yet, and have never bought one stock?
In some respects, it might be actually better to start with a clean slate!
The entire program is explained in PennyGold ... totally. I designed it to start you from a "zero knowledge base." PennyGold will even takes you through such nitty-gritty details as how to select a broker to execute your penny stock trades. The step-by-step approach is a "total package" that can turn anyone into a smart, knowledgeable penny stock investor. That's the whole point of the InfoTool concept.
17) How do I know that you will keep your word and only sell 1,000 copies of PennyGold?
Good question, because this is critical to keeping PennyGold powerful.
The PennyGold serial numbers run from 001 to 1,000. The first copy sold received #001, the second received #002, and so forth.
Your copy of PennyGold will be customized with your name and unique serial number.
Now, as you know, we are building a PennyGold community in the PGPers Club. Whenever we send the PGPer Digest to PGPers, we publish the lastest serial number so everyone knows which numbers have been "accounted for."
When PGPers send e-mail, we encourage them to use their serial number. We publish their e-mail in the PGPer Digest, so others can check to make sure that they do not have the same number.
In addition, part of PennyGold involves PGPers sharing PennyGold files on high-potential companies. I encourage PGPers to include their names and serial numbers in those files.
Let's say you download Joe Smith's file on "MineCo Inc." You then import it into PennyGold. If you were to see that Joe's serial number is the same as yours, you would be pretty upset.
Naturally, if I were to sell more than 1,000 copies, it would only be a matter of time before that would happen.
It won't.
18) If I purchase PennyGold, am I going to have to subscribe to other services/newsletters/e-zines/books/etc. in order to get or use the information?
PennyGold is all you need. There is nothing else that you have to buy or subscribe to.
I used the PennyGold strategy from 1991-1997 without having to subscribe to any other service, except for buying the Canadian Mining Handbook for CDN$60.
And wait until you see the PennyGold Research Room in the PGPers Club (the password-protected part of this site for PennyGold Practitioners)! For each and every piece of data that PennyGold wants, it links you to the best available free Web site ... totally free!
PennyGold is a complete pacakge. You do no need to buy or subscribe to anything else. It is yours forever.
19) I am inexperienced with uploading and downloading "web" financial data. Does PennyGold require significant understanding and interaction of complicated procedures with the Web?
The rawest novices have been able to handle PennyGold.
Basically, you click on a link to download a file onto
your Desktop. Then you click on a PennyGold button to
bring the data in that file into PennyGold, which then analyzes the data.
If you can click a link and a button, then you can work PennyGold.
20) Does PennyGold explain how to build lists of stocks and how to get data on them?
Yes, PennyGold provides you with all the INFO and all the TOOLS necessary -- it is a total package. The PennyGold
Research Room, part of the password-protected PGPers Club, provides you with links to the "cream of the
Web." Use the Research Room to find potential PennyGold stocks, then link to the sites to get the data that you need ...
all totally free. And all forever ... once you own PennyGold, your membership to the Research Room never expires.
