The Sunday that changed the course of my life forever

Dear Reader, Few people know this about me… But between 2003-2006, before I became widely followed in the resource sector, I was a ghostwriter/researcher for many of the largest newsletter writers in the resource sector at the time. I would show my ideas and theories, backed by my very thorough research, to whoever would listen. I did it because I loved sharing my research. Many of my reports were published verbatim – only the name of the author was changed. I never planned on becoming a newsletter writer myself. It all happened by complete chance. It was the third Sunday in January 2007 when a man with a soft French accent offered me an opportunity after we spent a week together at an investment conference. We were researching opportunities that no one in the industry had done before. I had received many job offers from both public and private companies. And a few from well-known publishing houses. But no one seemed to understand that I would never agree to being pigeonholed. I wanted to follow my own unique, original ideas toward finding great investment opportunities. - I don’t have the DNA of an employee. The man with the soft French accent immediately recognized that I could never be an employee. In late 2006, this soft-spoken man had become the CEO of one of the largest independent newsletters in the industry and partners with one of the industry’s most famous investors – Doug Casey. The third partner and owner of Casey Research was David Galland, who had attempted to get me on board a year earlier. But Doug and David recognized and appreciated that I was more interested in pursuing the ideas and projects that I found interesting and backing them with my own capital. So who is this soft-spoken, behind-the-scenes Frenchman? His name is Olivier Garret. And he was convinced that he could get me on board full-time. Both Doug and David told him there was zero chance in getting me to agree. Olivier’s offer that Sunday was for far less than almost all the other offers I had at the time. But what he offered me was a platform to work on any project and in any sector I believed had financial upside. Most importantly, he offered me a share in the upside of the firm. I knew I would make an impact, and he not only let me do what I wanted but let me in on the action. In return, Olivier would support me in any capacity that I asked him to. Those are the three reasons I joined their Casey Research full-time in early 2007. Doug and I knew each other quite well by that time, and we both enjoyed incredible success in the uranium sector. But I knew Olivier was the real deal when, in January 2007, I pitched my research to the Casey brain trust. It had taken me over 16 months and many site visits to compile. It was only Olivier who stated at the time: “In my entire career I had never seen such high-quality research. Not from even the most reputable investment firms. You simply did not leave any stone unturned. Your analysis of the opportunities in rare earth metals was both detailed and compelling.” When someone backs you that way, even while most people have no idea what you are talking about – you stick with them. Because of Olivier’s offer to me, we enjoyed some incredible gains together and so did our subscribers. Many of our positions in rare earth metals skyrocketed. At the same time as we were making our rare earth bets in early 2007, I presented Olivier with my whole thesis on fracking and how big of a disruption it would be. Many of the well-known gurus dismissed it, mainly because it was new and unproven. Not only did Olivier support my thesis after I walked him through all my research, but he also wrote a large personal check to help fund my ideas. It was his largest ever investment in the resource sector at the time. Looking back, it was a no-brainer. But at the time, everyone thought Cuadrilla was a crazy idea. Some of Doug Casey’s advisors advised him against investing in Cuadrilla, saying, “Doug, your young gun is unblemished with success.” Again, they didn’t understand fracking. Because I was writing the largest check in the company and becoming the largest individual investor, and because Olivier was supporting it financially, Doug and David also wrote large checks as they both have major FOMO. Shortly after, Doug fired all of his long-time advisors and asked me to manage the bulk of his resource fortune. We made it a lot bigger over time… but that’s another story for another time. I am not the easiest person to work with. I work long hours, I work at a fast pace and I expect those around me to do the same. So I am amazed that now, after 12 years of working very close together, Olivier Garret and I are closer than ever and have enjoyed incredible long-term investment success. Without his support, none of that would have happened. It was the Sunday that changed my life. Together, we made the investors in our funds very, very happy. Among our big winners we achieved gains of 680% on Ryan Gold… 770% in Prophecy Resources… 831% in Rare Minerals… 790% in Quest… and 1,172% in Midas Gold. We’ve been partners in many ventures, businesses and investments. We’ve flown all around the world together. We’ve had many dinners with each other’s families. Most importantly, when I was at my weakest moment – when I almost died – he was there when I needed him most. He’s someone who I greatly respect, not just as a businessman, but more importantly as a person. And people who know me well, know that I don’t have time for a great deal of people. Olivier has it. So why am I telling you this? - Olivier is what I call a “Talent Producer.” He doesn’t pretend to be a great analyst or investor. But he is phenomenal at finding someone who has incredible talent in something unique, then investing in bringing out the best in them. He saw incredible talent in my analytical skills and work ethic. And he worked incredibly hard to provide a platform for me to focus on only the things I was great at. Olivier Garret is the newsletter industry’s Quincy Jones. Quincy Jones was phenomenal at bringing out the greatness in incredibly talented people. Without Quincy Jones, we wouldn’t have Sinatra’s It Might as Well Be Swing or Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Olivier has identified two talented people to produce greatness, and he believes this new talent will become legends in the business. - Olivier has just launched his newest endeavor – RiskHedge. Over the last decade, Olivier has been preparing and mentoring two very talented individuals… In particular, they launched a new high-end research service called Project 5X. It’s helmed by Publisher Dan Steinhart and Chief Investment Officer Chris Wood. In Project 5X, Chris hunts for early stage disruptor stocks with 500% minimum upside – hence the 5X. I’ve known both Dan and Chris for years. Back in 2012, Chris’s team urged everyone who would listen to buy both Amazon and Google. As a Katusa reader, you know I love being early to a story. Chris recommended these stocks years before they became two of the so-called FAANG stocks that would hand early investors tremendous profits. - It’s no secret that people is my number one criteria for an investment. And that holds true whether it’s my time or my money. If Olivier Garret is putting together a team that he is backing, then I know it’s worth paying attention to. Every month, some research shop comes knocking on my door asking for an endorsement. It’s usually an easy “no.” As a Katusa reader, you’re in the top 0.1% of financial research consumers. You see right through the empty hype of internet marketers who pose as investing gurus. The guys at RiskHedge are the real deal. They’ve spent a small fortune building an all-star team of analysts and developing a secret tool they call the CHAOS Formula. - The CHAOS Formula is RiskHedge’s proprietary tool that reliably picks early-stage disruptor stocks with the potential to soar 500%. Because of my close connection with Olivier, he’s allowing Katusa members access to this Project 5X opportunity on much better terms than the general public.

He gives the name and ticker symbol of one of his top disruptor stock picks – for free, no strings attached. It’s a tiny $3 Nasdaq stock that he believes is set to leap 500%, starting right now.
