Another contest, ninety days risk-free

The one-year anniversary of the companion website Iacono Research will arrive shortly and, being the sentimental fool that I am, it seems like some sort of recognition is in order.

Since no one will be blowing up any party balloons around here, this post is about the extent of the festivities planned to commemorate the website launch last May (actually, the anniversary date is next Tuesday but I'll be at The Money Show in Las Vegas, hence the reason for today's extravaganza.)

Guess the mid-year price of oil and gold

So much fun was had at the end of last year that another contest is being offered as summer approaches. For those who dare, guess the mid-year closing price for oil and gold and whoever is closest will win a free one-year subscription to Iacono Research (current subscribers can win a free one-year extension).

The combined percentage differences between the guessed values and the closing prices on June 29th will determine a winner. Entries may be made either by posting them in the comments section of this post or sending mail to either tim-at-iaconoresearch.com or tliacono-at-yahoo.com. All entries must be received no later than one week from today (a reminder will be provided next Friday).

The final results from the contest concluded in December are shown below.
Good luck to all. Only one guess per person please. TJ? I'm looking for big numbers.

Ninety days risk-free

Due to the number of individuals who have requested a two-week extension to the two-week free trials that have been offered over the last year, free trials are now being extended to a full 30 days.

Combining the longer free trial period with the 60-day money back guarantee provides a "risk-free" period of 90 days for new subscribers. To start a free trial, click here.

Another success story

Even after yesterday's pull-back, the model portfolio is still up about nine percent on the year and has gained a total of roughly 36 percent since it was formalized in January of 2006.

One of the many success stories is Tournigan Gold (OTC: TVCZF, TSX: TVC), the uranium miner with the gold company name (as many of them are these days). The share price rose 35 percent on Tuesday after they announced that their uranium resource almost tripled to a total of 50 million pounds of U308.


There have been a number of pleasant surprises like this in the last year and, given a booming global economy, there are sure to be many more.

A one day special, next week

If all goes well with the laptop and the hotel internet connection, next Tuesday on the official anniversary date, the introductory rate of $99 will be offered once again for one day only.

If you are interested in this service, I encourage you to sign up for a free trial between now and then so you can have a look around. More importantly, the special rate will be extended to all those who are on free trials as of next Tuesday through the duration of their free trial period.

Full Disclosure: Long Tournigan Gold at time of writing.
