Meet Mining Guru Gerardo Del Real

Gerardo Del Real is the mining sector expert behind the just-launched advisory service, Resource Stock Digest Premium. Here, we talk with him about his stock selection process — focused on junior mining stocks — and look at one of his initial stock recommendations.

Steve Halpern: Joining us today is Gerardo Del Real, the newest investment expert at the Outsider Club family of financial newsletters and the editor of the new Resource Stock Digest Premium. How are you doing today, Gerardo?

Gerardo Del Real: I’m wonderful, Steven. Thank you very much for having me on.

Steve Halpern: Well, congratulations on the launch and thank you for joining us. As a research specialist, you’ve been advising institutional investors, high net worth individuals, even millionaires. Can you tell our listeners a little about your background and how you came around to launching the new Resource Stock Digest Premium?

Gerardo Del Real: Absolutely, Steven. If you remember, a little over a decade ago, anybody with a pulse could get a home loan; and so a little over a decade ago I saw that as an opportunity to invest in real estate and build a small portfolio and put away a few pennies.

Luckily I was able to see that the days of using a pulse as collateral were not going to be sustainable.  I began looking for a new opportunity to allocate the little capital that I had.

The resource space absolutely fascinated me with its booms and its busts and the risk/reward proposition that the juniors offered really resonated with me.

I learned as much as I could as quick as I could, and then I took what I learned and put it to the test the old fashioned way by investing my own money. I was very, very fortunate.

Early into that process I was able to meet people that were very generous with their knowledge and time, and so despite my best efforts to send the little capital I had to “Money Heaven” as Rick Rule calls it.

I’ve been able to do reasonably well, and largely in part to what I learned very early on from the people who decided to invest their time in teaching me the ropes. That’s the short version of kind of how I got into the resource space and where we started.

Steve Halpern: Now since then you’ve developed a reputation for a very disciplined approach and what you call an exhaustive boot on the ground focus. You also emphasize the importance of experienced management with a proven track record. Could you walk us through some of these factors and explain the steps you take in selecting stock?
