Fat Prophets - Fat Free email stocks

Just had a look at today's newsletter and I believe the cheap companies they refer to are AVO and TZN.

The biotech is AVX.

If anyone knows the 12c Mexican company please advise.

Cheers
 
yep, definitely AZS (Azure) for the Mexican explorer. Tony Rivera is the guy they're plugging - formerly of Jubilee Mines Cosmos pit (or Deeps) fame - can't remember which.
 
Im confused by their view on BHP

Do you know which scenario is correct?

Fat Prophets Members do.

If you don't know, we'd respectfully suggest you shouldn't be investing in BHP Billiton shares.


It won't be a surprise to readers of this email that one of the companies we recommended as a BUY was BHP Billiton. With the shares back down to around $32 or $33 we find them very attractive.

Am i missing the synical tone of the first one and saying if i dont know that BHP is a buy then move away because im an idiot? Or are they contradicting each other?

Do not worry with Fat Prophets.
The amount of money they charge the return is rather not enough. Frankly FP should not boast for recommending any of the top ASX 50 shares including BHP. If they recommend someting very odd and not on speculation but pure research then they should take the credit .
They are synical and also arrogant bunch of sales people.
I would rather learn by own mistake than paying them $$$ to give them opportunity to pass their mistakes at my cost.

I don't believe you should place too much value in free emails from any analyst, after all it is really only a marketing tool.

I probably disagree with Miner as my experience with FP has been nothing but positive. But their philosophy is in line with mine as a long term investor. I don't take all their recommendations and checking what others have written on ASF helps me to get a better feel for a company.

As far as cost goes, yes its expensive but inline with any other analyst service and I see it as a tax deduction anyway.

The current environment has ceretainly demonstrated the conflicting views of analysts, I've particularly enjoyed the conflicting views being presented in the press and on business channels. No one really has a clue, they are just making estimates based on the information they know at the time and I guess its the unknown that gives us that exciting buzz.
 
Yeah I never meant to take it very seriously, I already have BHP shares, and plan to hold them, more just curious by the fact they seem to contradict themselves in a single email.

Also I think when you see their "average return %" it is not even close to what you should expect - as you would need to invest same amount in every share they suggest if its a fair statement.. know what I mean?

I like it for possibly hearing about companies would never have heard of, then do own research on it. I've never actually followed anything from FP.

SMJ - Can a subscription like FP be tax deducted from gains on shares?
 
Ladies and gents, please pay attention!!
If you would like to discuss fat prophets in general or want to critique the service use the general fat prophets thread:

The current thread is only for working out the identity of the mystery stock.

Thank you for you cooperation!

PS I will issue infractions or delete posts if anyone continues to be lazy and posts off topic.
 
Anyone have any idea what these 3 are, email came out yesterday

Below is the quote from their free email

"Here is a flavour of just three of our favourite gold stocks…


The Egyptian gold miner with over 11 million ounces of gold reserves.

The West Australian company whose corporate goal is "To produce 1 million ounces of gold per annum and have reserves of 10 million ounces by the end of 2010."

The Argentinean gold explorer about which we recently said is "one of the world's most exciting emerging gold players."

Thanks in advance :D
 
I think they are probably referring to SBM, CNT & Andean Resources (code escapes me for the moment and too lazy to look it up!!!).

What did they say about VRE which they recommended forever and a day????? LST (one of their favourites) also has significant exposure to VRE.

MUN is another of their favourite goldies (which is a real goodie).

Cheers, JM
 
The FP response to the VRE "situation" is posted in the VRE stock thread... no one saw that coming I think.

and yep - AVX is the biotech... I got on at the first tip - very glad i did - I wont recommend for fear of ramping but do some research on the company... ABN also have a buy out on it at around 70c. But they are a fair way off the materialisation of any of their drugs, and hence get battered in a market like the present.
 
Does anyone know what the Platinum and Silver stocks were from today's email?

Ps. their banking sector prediction has been spot on!
 
Today's FAT alert:

As we stated in our report last night on Couer D'Alene (CXC), we were awaiting
a technical signal before placing another buy recommendation on the stock.
The US listing, CDE, had broken below a rising trendline and we were reluctant
to buy while the stock traded below this trendline.

Following a strong night for commodities and precious metals in the US last night,
Couer rallied by 8%, resulting in the stock pushing back above the
rising trendline. We view this as a bullish development and combined with our
positive fundamental outlook as discussed in last night's report, we recommend
CXC as a buy to all Members

CXC will no doubt be up strongly today. Based on last night's move in the
US, the stock should trade around $5.20. We would be comfortable recommending
a buy at around these levels

Members should note that as the company's two major mines are in the ramp
phase, there is still a considerable amount of development and commissioning
risk so this stock will continue to display a high level of volatility
