John Doody, Ph.D.

FSN News Team Technical Expert

John Doody brings a unique perspective to the analysis of gold stocks. With a BA in Economics from Columbia, an MBA in Finance from Boston University, where he did his PhD-Economics studies, Doody has no formal geology education beyond "Introductory Geology," aka "Rocks for Jocks," at Columbia which was taught by the University's School of Mines.

As an Economics Professor for almost two decades, Doody became interested in gold due to an innate distrust of politicians. In order to serve those that elected them, politicians always try to get nine slices out of an eight slice pizza. How do they do this? They debase the currency via inflationary economic policies.

As Doody studied gold stocks, he had a hard time deciding on which to buy... their share prices, market capitalizations, production and reserve levels were all different, yet each made exactly the same product: gold. To solve the dilemma and determine which gold stocks might represent the best value at any point in time, Doody popularized a metric called Market Cap per ounce... a company's stock market capitalization divided by the ounces of gold produced per year, or its ounces of proven and probable reserves.

As a result of this Market Cap metric, Doody's newsletter covers only producers or near-producers that have an independent feasibility study validating that its reserves are economic to produce.

Success with this method of finding undervalued gold mining stocks led Doody to leave teaching and start Gold Stock Analyst 13 years ago in 1994, and make his research available to everyone. The results to date have been spectacular: from the start and through 2006, the GSA Top 10 Stocks portfolio is up an average of 30% per year.
