Adrian is justifiably famous for discovering many big investment winners, companies in which he invested--and urged his readers to invest--when they were unknown or out of favor...and, just as importantly, holding them patiently often for several years.

He was an early investor in Franco Nevada, arguably the greatest gold stock investment of the last several decades. The company eventually merged with Newmont Mining to become the largest gold-mining company in the world. Adrian's return? A stunning 11,557%.

He was attracted to Mexico after the peso devaluation in 1982, when the economy was flat on its face and hardly anyone wanted to invest in the country. He found Telefonos de Mexico, selling at an incredible 3 times earnings and at only one quarter of book value, and with a yield of 33%.

In the course of studying the company, he learned that Jaohn Templeton had taken a significant position, and Adrian urged his readers to follow Templeton's lead. Return? 9,033% before selling the stock after it had listed in New York and the country had recovered.

Adrian likes dividends--"earnings, book value, they can be distorted," he notes, "but dividends don't lie."  One of his current favorites is American Capital Strategies. It was, in fact, the very first recommendation in his Global Analyst advisory service.

Subscribers who took his advice are now receiving 17.6% per year on their purchase price...and the stock has more than doubled during that time. Not bad for a conservative income stock!

And there are more, several more, some of which Adrian is still holding, or even recommending new purchases. That's what Adrian likes best--finding a few really good companies and holding for a long period (over two decades in the case of Franco-Nevada/Newmont; that's "buy-and-hold" investing!).
