Roger Wiegand Testimonials
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Mr. Weigand... Today is my birthday, but you made it a happy one. I read
one of your articles last year and began buying gold, silver, and PGMs as
well as eliminating my debt at a record pace. I made this commitment to
myself and my family to educate myself and preserve what little wealth I
have accumulated in 25 years as a physician. As a result, I have 'squirreled
away' a tidy sum of metal and miners, eliminated my debt-- and was rewarded
with a great peace of mind during this morning's Wall Street meltdown. Thank
you so very much for your valued advice. You've truly made this a Happy
Birthday for me!

Roger-
Thanks for the article. The article describes a very harsh place to be. Things are not so bad here except for the fires. The forests have been closed since the start of mining season because of the dangers related to forest fires. It is getting better now and we should be able to get going soon. I haven't been sitting around feeling sorry for myself. I cleared a quarter of a million last week I'm not bragging. I just want you to know that I'm using the info, direction and philosophies form the newsletter to strengthen my position. I'm totally in cash now except for what I have with Ryan. I'm getting set up for the big move this fall. It will be a doosey! My tax bill will have me reaching for the smelling salts.
Thanks for all that you do.

Roger,
I must admit that I really have come to respect and admire people like you that can observe the phenomena of economics, world bizarre realities, report them, and even place trades under public scrutiny under such perceptions and do it constantly and profitably. I can barely manage to do one of those components of a true trader like you, namely to be able to observe the phenomena to certain level of objectivity (very limited albeit).
Yours truly,
Andres
Roger,
Congratulations on a GREAT trade in beans!!! Hope you will have a wonderful time in Vancouver. Hope to talk to you before you leave.
All the best,
Craig
Roger,
Your May 14th commentary is one of the most thoughtful of any I have ever read.
Over the years, by staying with my PM stock positions, I managed to hold onto and increase the value of PM stock holdings until I leveraged my positions somewhat just prior to the current crisis; and as a result have given back some but not nearly all of my long term gains. I wish I had paid more attention to your cautionary warnings.
Fortunately, however, a good amount of the profits from my PM investments were siphoned off in the past 2 years to support a software development program ( the work of over 12 years) which is designed to empower small to large investors by providing them with the tools to make and support intelligent investment solutions. My partner and I hope to be online with this innovative software in the next few months.
Thank you for helpful and straight forward thoughts which I always look forward to.

Dear Sir,
I'm the "little guy", the wannabe player (but learning steadily). I've
been doing what you've been saying for a while now. And just as you assured
me, it's amazing how fast stuff adds up if you just buy what you can when you
can, lock it up and leave it alone! True, it's not "working",
but it's a solid, growing base, and it'll more than pay its rent when the inevitable
comes to pass! (I'm here in New England, wondering if I'll see the day
when I must grab the Girl, the Cat, the Gold & Silver, the Guns, and head
for the Hills to avoid the riots.) I'd much prefer to see us smarten
up and fix it all, but I must admit, confidence is not high!
Anyway, thanks for sound advice, and for language and graphs that aren't
so unnecessarily complicated that any attempt to follow them causes grand mal
seizures!
Have a Great Day!
Rich
Roger,
I cannot tell you enough of how much I enjoy your newsletter. I have made many profitable trades from your advice in the last 3 months. I also trade in a similar way to you except your insights are priceless and well researched. Your timing and dedication to preserving profits is impeccable. Thanks for the great work,
Kindest regards,
Craig
Roger,
Just a long overdue note to thank you again for your very welcome, constant and excellent support. Your financial acumen and information simply cannot be beat in my book.
The song goes...’thanks for the memories’....but for me it’s... "thanks for those timely alerts" – and your availability when I need advice. Thanks also for all the many, many hours of effort I know you put in to the making those great decisions and on when to take actions that have paid off well -- more than a million in less than one year. Can’t wait to see what transpires throughout the rest of 2008!!
It must be stated, there is more informed and timely information about the our economic situation learned from your weekly newsletter than any other source I know. To say it is superb would be redundant. It provides me with the important issues and knowledge of the times and the way they may effect the type of trading at which you excel and which I utilize. It should be read by anyone who seriously contemplates serious investments. Friday afternoons can’t come too soon! Where do you ever find the time to do the trades and write that newsletter as well? All other financial newsletters are interesting more or less, but do not get down to the nitty-gritty. Nothing like telling it like it is. No trying to make a situation look better than it is. And in these days, things do not look rosy for the future. And one thing further, although other publications may offer other points of view, it is reassuring to know I am finally receiving THE ONE newsletter I on which I can rely.
The second and perhaps equally appreciated is your recommendation of Ryan Olson. And, of course, one must mention that he is the other half of the "dream team". I owe much to the personal attention provided by Ryan – extremely rare in brokers these days. Ryan exercises those things that you cook up and coordinate with him. That makes all these things come together in concert then coupled by his acting with alacrity always maximizes my profits and minimizes potential problems those very few times when the market may turn around rather fast. Further, Ryan provides simply uncommon support at all hours. I always feel free to ask his opinion about various things -- it's helpful for an investor to have this much trust in his broker. My thanks again for recommending this gentleman! This is a first time for this kind of experience for me -- and I have traded off and on in the market starting with Dean Witter over 40 years ago. And for the first time now that I am with you and Ryan I am really making hay! And as long as the current sunshine remains for a few years, the outlook is extremely bright!
Perhaps apropos of nothing: There’s a saying:
As you wander on through life, brother, no matter what your goal,
Keep you eye upon the donut and not upon the hole.
You really have this down pat!
In great appreciation,
Ted
Roger,
you've done it again. I'm blown away.
Thanks so much for these phenomenal trades.

"Many thanks to you, Roger, and your alerts. Based on your recommendations I’m up over $625K since the first of the year. Keep up the good work! That goes for Ryan Olson too!"

Dear Mr. Weigand,
As always, I appreciate your commentaries on national and global
roller-coaster rides based on smart people doing dumb things. Have you noticed how
the media avoids the topic of Peak Oil. The US peaked out in the early
seventies, and now that Chindians want the curse of materialism and a
Hummer in every driveway, where do you think this planet is going?
Looking at long-term trends, the NASA views of the US at night may go dark
in about 20 years. Oil at $300 bucks a barrel will send us back to the
middle-ages, pre-industrial world. I feel survivors will be sort of similar
to the Amish, live very simply without a lot of stuff and the ball-and-chain
of credit card cash. Gold Eagles and Morgan Silver Dollars may come
back as real money instead of Greenback toilet paper. Actually the Greenback
makes awful TP, corn cobs might be better home grown alternative.
I am sorry that you don't have wider exposure for your commentaries.
Onward,
J

Hi Roger,
I am so very happy and thankful to you for sending the newsletter one day early. Based on your discussion on page 18 (Gold & Silver XAU), I bought AEM and SSO (SSRI in US) and did very well.
Thank you again.

“Outstanding! The latest Trader Tracks is outstanding. Many thanks for being so helpful.”

Roger,
I am a seven year subscriber to Jay Taylor. I have enjoyed your advice
since you started with Jay. I just wanted to let you know how important is
the job you are doing for those of us that inherently believe in
gold, but not being professional traders do not understand the complexities
of the system. Especially in these difficult times it seems like every
news article presents a different face and it is comforting to get information
from someone that inspires trust. Incidentally, I am still fully invested.
Regards,
Larry
Dear Mr. Weigand,
I acted on your recent alert to go long on December silver futures at 12.39 and get out at 12.95, risking 0.15. I placed a limit order the next day when it was at 12.45 and caught it on a dip. My broker just called to let me know my standing sell order was filled at 12.95.
I'm glad to have followed directions and to have made a nice gain. Thanks for the recommendation.
Best Regards,
Mike
“I really like it that Roger is explicit in his directions on what to buy and when to sell.”

Roger,
last fall, when your service was offered on a trial
basis, I took your advice on the Canadian dollar futures and gold
futures. Starting with one contract each, and never more than four,
I cranked out profits of over $24,000 Canadian dollars (CAD) in
less than 4 months.
With stops in place at all times, the risk was minimal. I did this in the name of hedging at first, but it was too much fun to just buy and hold. I let the profit from one contract buy the next, so the overall invested was about $2,000, but I did maintain $4,000 over that at all times. Thanks Roger, it was a blast.
