Have to agree with Pedalofogus. The free newsletters are entertaining as well as thought provoking. They also have many adds and references to their paid newsletters but then I guess they also have to earn a living. I subscribe to both Diggers and Drillers and Small cap investigator and have found both to be very good, I have put a lot of the recomendations in test portfolios on both for almost 2 years and had I invested in every recommendation and sold when we were told (I just left them in the portfolio), I have also been a bit slack and not entered them all but as it stands they would be up DD 83% and SCI 97% which is not a bad return. I used to pick certain reccomendations and ignore others often to my detriment but since July I have been investing equal amounts in each recommendation and am up 30% currently which is not a bad return. At around $130 for each newsletter I think they are incredible value.

The letters are written in 2 completely different styles wirh a fair bit of waffle in SCI but at the end of the day they both put forward their recommendation (generally one a month) with the associated pros and cons in a very informative way.

Not every recommendation is a winner of course but as a general rule the picks are pretty good. As Alex Cowie of D&D says his picks are not overnighters they are companies that are mostly still explorers that he has determined through his research should be future winners.
