Thom Calandra, a founder of CBS MarketWatch and FT MarketWatch, has to rank as one of the most talented financial newsletter writers in the business today. Thom's track record of identifying valuable investments early on, has helped thousands of investors find high-return investments for nearly 30 years.

Thom uses a hands-on approach of digging out undervalued companies. He has become one of a handful of industry leaders in sizing up the next big gold, silver or natural resource prospector/ miner. Thom physically visits each mine/company he reports on and conducts his own research. "I rely on the 10 or 12 people in the business. I trust - geologists, prospectors, engineers, financiers.." Thom says.

Thom has written for The San Francisco Examiner and Chronicle, The Financial Times, Bloomberg, USA Today and many other newspapers, wires and magazines. As the voice of Ticker Trax by Stockhouse, Thom fancied $300-ounce gold before the yellow metal became an investment rage.
