What do you mean by "Premium Service"? What can you do for me?
In short, Premium Service means the ability to use the content of the sections that are put in bold in the menu on the right. This means access to: Premium Updates, Charts, Tools, and Key Principles. You will also receive Market Alerts if the situation on the precious metals market changes considerably. What can we do for you depends on who you are and what you are interested in. We believe that we address issues relevant to virtually anyone interested in the precious metals sector, however there are parts of our website exceptionally relevant to particular groups of investors. We have prepared a table in which we outline benefits of using each of the Premium Sections. Additionally, more details are presented below. Click on particular description to read more details. Each benefit will be accompanied by the location of specific content (in parentheses).
The sample version of most sections can be found here.
Why would I want to subscribe to the Premium Service? There is so much information available free on the internet!
Assuming that you do your own due diligence and read all free materials that you can find on the Internet, you can still benefit a little extra from the Premium Service. This can be an extremely timely Market Update, or an issue raised in one of the weekly Premium Commentaries that inspires you to use a particular strategy or purchase particular shares, which explode right after that. The point is that this little extra can at times be worth thousands of dollars. That is just one of the reasons - click here learn about other advantages. You know what they say - "Partially informed investor is just as effective, as partially informed surgeon - will only hurt himself and those around him".
Do you offer any discounts, special offers, bonuses etc. ?
Yes, we do. Click here to find out how you can get access to our Premium Service FREE of charge.

If you can't log in, as there are no "username" and "password" boxes, that means that you are already logged into your account. You may click the "Premium Updates" in the menu on the right side of the page to read our latest update.
If none of the above helps, please try erasing your temporary internet files. You will find more details here.
I have registered but I didn't receive any message from you so far. What's wrong?
Sometimes our messages might get blocked by your e-mail client and put in the spam folder (most likely this is where you can find the e-mail that you expected to receive - if that is the case please flag our messages as not-spam). To make it more likely that you get all the messages that we send you, please add (if you cannot see the e-mail address, please make sure that you have enabled JavaScript in your web browser) to your address book / "safe senders list" in your e-mail client. Click here and here for more detailed instructions.

Do you recommend buying shares of XYZ123? How much should I buy?
No, we do not recommend any specific securities. Generally, we will provide you with our thoughts regarding the market and signal particularly favorable moments to enter/exit positions, but unless it is exceptionally clear as to what trading instruments it is best to use (or not to use), we will refrain from suggesting exact position sizes and choosing the securities that you should use. It is not because we don't care - it is exactly the opposite. We don't do it as we believe that it is impossible to do a good job here without knowing one's exact financial situation and their risk preferences. In other words - the action that you should take depends on your investment goals, portfolio size, other investments/correlations with them, how soon you need to sell this position, your risk preferences, etc. Our Subscribers have many different goals, risk preferences, portfolio sizes, and trading styles, and it would be impossible to suggest an action that everyone would be able to take advantage of. Therefore, instead of discriminating a part of our Subscribers by focusing on other part we decided to provide you with general timing suggestions and make the rest of the investment process much easier by developing Tools and Charts. For instance the Position Size Calculator and the Pyramid Optimizer will help you with your option trades, while the Leverage Calculators will create a ranking of gold/silver stocks that is perfect for you.
I have a question to Mr. Radomski...
We appreciate if you send us market-related questions and we forward them to Mr. Radomski, but we cannot guarantee a direct reply. Still, if you ask a question about market in general, or about particular piece of news, this message increases the odds that we will send out a Market Alert.
What kind of methodology do you use?
We combine various approaches and always try to look at the market situation from various angles. We use fundamental analysis to establish the general tendencies in the market; we use the technical and cyclical analysis with elements of the fractal theory to time the markets; and finally we use quantitative means to choose the size of particular positions. You can find out more by clicking here.
Can you sell me gold or silver?
No, we do not offer such services. If you wish to purchase physical silver or gold you may consider visiting the "Key Principles" section for more information.
I'm totally new to investing. Will your Premium Service be appropriate for me?
Naturally! We have prepared the "Key Principles" section with Investors like you in mind! Reading it should get you on the right track in no time. Additionally, by browsing our Website, you will see that we have made a large part of our content free, for your educational purposes - for example the 'Editor answers' section.
Yahoo has a very good tutorial dedicated to options. You can check it out by clicking here.
When do you send Market Alerts?
We're sending the Market Alerts when points made in our previous commentary (Premium Update, or another Market Alert) are no longer up-to-date (new developments on the market), or if we will let you know in advance that we will send one under given circumstances. Besides that, there is no rule as far as scheduling the alert goes - especially, it's not possible to reply to the "are you sending an alert today?" question. If the answer would be YES, then it means that Mr. Radomski is just preparing it, and you'll receive it within several minutes. If the answer would be NO, then it doesn't mean that we won't change our mind in several minutes or so (something might just pop up / something becomes clearer as far as chart analysis is concerned etc.), so it's not informative either.
How do I change my credit card details?

How do I change my credit card details?
The answer depends on if you used PayPal, or not.

The information (excluding credit card information) that you provide to us is stored securely in our databases on GNU/Linux server (Debian distribution). This system is regarded as one of the most reliable and stable platforms. Please note that for free (trial) accounts the only thing that we require is your first name and e-mail, so that we will know where to send updates. We do not store your credit card numbers, as we don't process payments directly. In fact, we never even see these numbers. In order to maximize your security, we decided to use third party payment processors (yes, they are more expensive for us, but we believe security is the priority here), which have been carefully chosen with regard to the quality of their service. They have years of experience and during the implementation process we have successfully tested these systems with our own credit cards.

Why don't you cover typical financial analysis of companies?
We do use fundamental analysis to establish general tendencies in the big picture and focus on certain sectors, however we do not perform classic financial analysis of mining companies. There are numerous reasons for that. Firstly, this is a quite common topic on the internet and here, at Sunshine Profits, we focus on providing you with the analyses that are unique. The second reason is that in the mining business it is extremely difficult to compare particular companies, as they might have very different strategies. For example SSRI does not currently generate profits as its focus is on acquisition, exploration and development of silver-dominant project? They do not mine silver, at least not yet. Evaluating junior mining companies is even more difficult, as there are many non-financial factors that need to be considered, the company's management being probably the most important. The final reason is that we are very cautious when it comes to reading financial statements. Some of the reports might have been produced in the "creative" way and since we are not sure that we can spot every false information, we prefer to use other methods of choosing companies, entering and exiting our positions.

Is there a ranking/list of best gold/silver stocks with regard to their leverage and exposure in long-, medium-, and short-term?

You enter the price of gold at which you want to purchase your gold stocks, and the price at which you want to sell, and our calculator tells you which stocks to use to make the most of this trade. We invite you to try the sample version of the Gold Leverage Calculator.

Can you analyze my portfolio of gold stocks?
Not yet, but we are working on implementing this product on our website. It should be available really soon.

Do you have a model portfolio for gold/silver stocks?
No, we do not have a model portfolio, as we believe that this is an oversimplification that can be unprofitable to our Subscribers. Each Investor has a different investment horizon, and different risk tolerance, so it is really impossible to tell everyone to purchase the same stocks at the same time. Instead, we focus on providing commentaries, research, tools, charts etc. that will help you understand the market and create a portfolio best FOR YOU, not just by copying a model one. For instance, our Leverage Calculators in the Tools section are updated on a daily basis, and provide a list of the best (most leveraged to gold/silver and with higher exposure to the underlying metal) gold/silver stocks with three time-frames in mind: long-term - for buy and hold purchases, medium-term, for medium-term trades, and short-term, for short-term, daily speculative plays.

Why 'Sunshine Profits'?
Well, we did not want to name our Website with direct regard to any precious metal, because we plan to provide you with valuable information about investments even when precious metals cease to be our first choice. We would prefer to avoid changing our name, should that take place. 'Sunshine' represents optimism and bright look at the future ? the combination with 'profits' gives you exactly what we strive to provide you with. :-)
