OUR GOLDCORP CHALLENGE

INCREASING THE YIELD

WHAT OUR INVESTORS WANT

Overwhelmed by the glut of stock research data.

Want unbiased stock advice. 3 out of 4 people seek out stock or broker recommendations

from friends and family because they feel they are their only trusted source.

Looking for tomorrow’s blue chips. 35% of all listings have no analyst coverage 50% of the covered universe has 2 analysts or fewer Coverage has declined 15% since 2002

Generally not interested in games. Consider managing real world portfolio is a better use of time

versus “portfolio games.” Games are perceived as having little value as a research tool.
