Investing via private placement, particularly in the small-cap resource space, can pay off handsomely and consistently… but only when you have direct access to the right deal flow.
That’s why, if you’re an accredited investor, you need to be taking a close look at Nick Hodge’s and Gerardo Del Real’s Private Placement Intel service.
Together, they’ve been at this in one form or another for well over a decade — and to great success.
The guys get scores of private placement prospectuses across their desks but only bring what they believe are the surest opportunities for near and long-term gains to their valued Private Placement Intel subscribers.
They do this by methodically and systematically vetting each deal in a way most others simply cannot. You see, Nick and Gerardo, who co-own Digest Publishing, have spent decades building an exclusive industry contact list that’s truly second to none.
And it’s much more than just a list of names and phone numbers of the best and brightest in the global resource space. In a word, it’s invaluable.
They’ve grown to know these serially-successful CEOs, geologists, and management teams intimately by meeting with them in person multiple times a year at the top investment conferences around the world.
They hop on planes and helicopters to see these companies’ exploration and development projects — no matter how remote they may be — with boots-on-the-ground alongside the CEOs and geologists.
They then take all of the information gleaned and galvanize it into what they believe is the best decision for their subscribers and for themselves. Sometimes that decision means doing nothing at all. After all, without proper capital preservation, your long-term growth prospects (in any market sector) don’t stand a chance.
And that’s vitally important. You see, Nick and Gerardo believe in having significant skin-in-the-game with the private placements they recommend to their subscribers. Point blank, if a deal isn’t good enough for their own portfolios, then it’s not good enough for their members’ either.
Or put another way, when Nick and Gerardo win, their subscribers win too. And when a deal doesn’t work out, well, everyone loses… but the lesson is well-learned, and the knowledge gained is then put to task in future deal vetting.
It’s also critical to point out that, in that rare instance when a deal fails to produce, it’s rarely the structure of the deal that’s at issue. Nick and Gerardo are exceptionally well-versed at weeding out poorly structured deals that are essentially DOA. And they stay away from “Reg D” and other so-called crowdsourcing deals that have no clear path to return of capital since you can’t profit if you can’t sell your stock!
The bottom line is that mineral exploration is a risky endeavor… Mother Nature can be very stingy in the metals she leaves behind… and sometimes the drills just aren’t able to hit the type of grade and scale that moves markets.
That’s mining for you… and, as a speculator, you have to be willing to live with those facts and with those odds if you’re going to be investing in the junior miners either through private placement or directly.
Yet, because of Nick and Gerardo’s vast experience — plus the immeasurable benefit of having direct access to these CEOs, management teams, and geos — the guys win far more often than they lose.
And the size of some of the wins can oftentimes dwarf the losses to such a large degree that those rare few private placements that don’t work out are barely even noticed.
I mean, just feast your eyes on a few of their recent winners:
- Financed Patriot Battery Metals at 16-cents Canadian ahead of its run to over C$17 — a gain of over 10,525%.
- Financed Lithium X at 15-cents Canadian before being bought out at C$2.61 for 1,640% gains a year later.
- Financed Bravo Mining while it was still private at 64-cents Canadian ahead of its IPO and run to over C$5.20 — a gain of 718%.
- Plus dozens of other big wins that are often leveraged with warrants or half-warrants that allow Private Placement Intel members to buy more stock at fixed prices if the price goes up and with zero risk if it goes down.
And again, it’s the deep industry contacts and personal relationships that make all the difference.
For example, Nick and Gerardo recently announced a private placement (with a full warrant by the way) on a junior uranium explorer that’s led by a management team they know very, very well.
They previously financed a uranium company under that same team at around 15-cents Canadian that went on to be acquired by another uranium firm, and subsequently acquired once more by an even larger uranium firm that ultimately ran to over C$6 per share. You do the math there!
Today, with that same management team back together in a brand-new uranium exploration vehicle, Nick and Gerardo are putting their money where their collective mouth is once again with expectations of yet another big win for themselves and for subscribers.
And the deal flow continues to, well, flow!
A couple of months ago, a lithium exploration deal in Canada was offered to subscribers, which is now up over 300% with plenty of room to run. Just a few weeks ago, a silver-gold exploration deal in Mexico was on offer that has already jumped as much as 70%, again, with tons of room to run. There’s an early-stage copper exploration deal in Peru that’s up substantially as well.
Plus, it’s not just the resource space that’s on offer here. Nick and Gerardo delve into many other market sectors, one current example being a privately-held deal on a national direct-to-consumer bank headquartered in Colorado.
And speaking of meeting with people in person, both Nick and Gerardo are presenting later this month at the highly-celebrated New Orleans Investment Conference, November 20-23, which happens to be the event’s 50th anniversary.
This is one of those conferences where, if you have the time, you absolutely need to be there!
The guys both believe strongly in making themselves available to subscribers of their various publications… so be sure to walk up and say hello if you’re able to attend. And feel free to also ask them about Private Placement Intel if you’re an accredited investor looking to get on board with the service before the final few available spots are filled.
Or… simply click here for everything you need to know about becoming a fully participating member of Private Placement Intel and the immense benefits herein.
Nick and Gerardo could not be more excited about the deal flow that’s already lining up for early 2025… especially in this booming metals market that’s just now getting underway!
Yours in profits,
