The Maven Letter: 2 March 2022

Thanks so much and I really appreciate your coverage of things. I’m starting to make some real money and you/Jeff Clark are big reasons why. Sincerely and with thanks,

Kudos to the whole team for the great work and expanding services on the site. Congrats. The bottom line is a huge thank you to both of you for providing tools and resources to help retail investors like me make a more INFORMED and EDUCATED assessment of investment opportunities. With gratitude,

I’ve enjoyed the Silver Stock Investor and Paydirt subscription. Since coming on board a couple months ago, I’ve challenged myself to do my own research on Gold and Silver Junior Miners that I want to own for 5 to 10 years and compare my findings to your letter. I’ve looked at over 30 companies and explored their properties, financials and management teams. It was all a waste of time! The eight companies that I found very attractive are all recommended in your portfolios. Thank you for making great suggestions. I will have confidence in what you publish going forward.

Dear Peter, dear Jeff’s two X, First of all, thank you very much for your professional, enthusiastic, and at the same time insightful work. I’ve been reading your articles for about two years now and I’ve noticed and continue to notice how good you are in my portfolio. What do I mean by that? Until now, I was used to searching for, evaluating, and then buying the smaller explorers myself. Since I’ve been on your site almost every day, and my risk portfolio now consists of about 40% of the stocks you present and manage, it’s a sign of the quality you deliver, and I’m happy to add it to my portfolio. You fulfill three important points of my assessment of “other opinions and research”: 1. You are invested in your stocks yourself, some more than others, but still invested! 2. It’s transparent that you receive money from some of the miners for your work, and if not more, then it’s also transparent and fair! 3. You have tremendous knowledge, great enthusiasm, dedication, and a very good information-gathering base. I greatly appreciate all of this from afar in Germany!!! So: please stay healthy and hopeful for a long time to come and keep it up!!! Warmest regards from Hamburg, Bernhard M. p.s. this email says it all:)

I have completed your book Paydirt and IT IS BRILLIANT! Honestly, the best book I have read on investing in the miners.

Hi Folks, I would like to thank you for your great service. Learned a lot with your book and newsletters. Also your stock picks have been great on profit and really appreciate the detailed updates on the companies. Also appreciate you mentioning when to get out of a position or take some profits, and that is most appreciated.

There are few people in the gold mining space with the honesty and integrity as Jeff Clark. Highly recommended!

Watched all your presentations and interviews in Metal Investor Forum. My investment portfolio on commodities are bearing fruit after reading your newsletters for many years. Thanks again.

I’m thrilled with the Pay Dirt subscription and education! It’s been a game-changer for my learning journey.

Subscribing to your newsletters is the best investment decision I made in 2025!
