Born at the tail end of the legendary commodities bull market of the 1970s, Luke Burgess is one of a new generation of investors who are fascinated with the intrinsic and universal value of gold and related investments.

As the story goes, Luke has been taken with gold almost ever since he can remember. At the tender age of 8 he caught the fever panning at a public gold mine in Colorado while on a cross-country trip with his family. Today his physical bullion holdings rival those of his much older contemporaries.

But Luke is more than just a worshipper of the yellow metal. Roughly 94% of his personal investments are presently riding on tangible commodities that society needs and uses day-to-day to run smoothly.

Luke considers himself to be the ultimate metals bug, investing also in silver, zinc, nickel, molybdenum, aluminum and other lesser known metals such as manganese, antimony and indium. Moreover, he has a deep knowledge of and considerable holdings in coal, crude oil, natural gas and uranium stocks.

Luke has focused much of his investing attention on the TSX Venture Exchange. That's because this exchange is weighted over 60% toward energy and mining stocks. Over the past four years he's been watching the TSX-V like a hawk . . . probably more closely than anyone else in the publishing business. During that time he has learned an enormous amount about the companies that list on the TSX-V and has proven time and again that he can deliver quick-hitting, double- and triple-digit returns.

Like Strateco Resources (TSX-V: RSC)...

Back on November 14 of last 2006, Luke recommended Strateco to his readers. He said:

"The need to strike now is imperative. The longer you wait the lower will be your future earnings. And companies like Strateco Resources that are preparing for the future trend will be riding their success all the way to the bank."

At the time of the recommendation, shares of Strateco were trading for CAD$1.64. On December 22, just twenty-six trading days later, those shares were up to CAD$3.12... and Luke's readers were able to realize a 90.24% return on the trade.

Most recently, his Nuinisco Resources Inc. (TSX: NWI) recommendation delivered an 82.1% gain in just six trading days after a stock split and spin-off of the company's nickel assets.

Luke is currently the managing editor and publisher of The Capital Gains Report. He also frequently writes for other publications and has his articles published all over the web at investment sites like StockHouse.ca and Goldseek.com. Furthermore, Luke is the co-editor of Secret Stock Files with Michael Schaefer. He has been a guest on countless radio programs like Trader's Nation, The Bill Meyer Show, Sound Investing Radio, The Brent Clanton Show, Stock Doctor, The Economic Contrarian, On the Money, The Andre Eggelation Show, KXYZ Biz Radio, and Investments Advisor Review.

Called the "ultimate insider", the Phantom Trader has been in the market so long... and has so many connections, his little black book is considered 'the millionaire's club.'

We're talking about access to well-connected Wall Street brokers, venture capitalists, the manager of a global hedge fund, millionaire private investors, letter writers, and corporate CEOs.

Why does he wish to keep his identity a secret?

Well, it's probably best if PT explains it himself...

It's easier this way. Look, I don't have to do this. Nor do I want to speak at conferences. Or travel on some lame-brained corporate junket. I've got the means, and the will, to analyze investment deals not one in a thousand investors will ever hear about, let alone have the stones to put their chips on.

Maybe that's why so few make it.

What I bring to the table is the opportunity for you to tap into a network so vast, so profitable, it'll give you hot flashes.

How about investing in an energy company at the startup phase, for ten cents? A year later, that same company has over 160 producing wells, one of the most competent management teams alive, and a concession in Mongolia that could hold more than 6 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.

Ever heard of it? Exactly.

Well, consider this. If that Mongolia concession holds only half that much gas, and the company options a 50% interest to a managing firm, we're looking at $50 per share.

This is part of the reason why I decided to remain anonymous. So much of this business is bogus... the chest puffing, like a bunch of steroid-addled walruses, editors and analysts bark their foul opinions into the bandwidth. The bogus claims. The outright lies. And the ego battles that would make Vince McMahon go limp with envy.

I didn't want to be a part of it. Still don't. But I've got plenty to say, and plenty to offer. I'm not ready to hang up the laptop just yet. So I figured I'd take another kick at the cat.

It's just a matter of cutting through the white noise and figuring out what's worth knowing. What actually passes for useable data.

Throw in a long list of industry insiders and contacts, which I have, and you're set...
