Greetings, Scott Wright here!  If you're visiting this page you've read my essays and research reports and are familiar with my work.  I'll presume you're also familiar with our acclaimed newsletters, written by my business partner Adam Hamilton.  If these publications are not sufficient to meet your personal needs, I'm happy to make myself available on a limited basis in order to address your questions.  Thank you for considering my consulting services!

 

Since my time is finite, and consulting is not our core business, in order to devote exclusive time to your project it will be costly.  My rates are as follows...

 

Scott Wright consulting time - US$500 per hour

     - Telephone or e-mail

     - 1 hour minimum, after that my time is billed in 15-minute increments

     - Engagements under 3 hours - no payment due until consulting is delivered

     - Engagements over 3 hours - 50% payment due up front, 50% due upon completion

     - Please e-mail me at scott@zealllc.com to get scheduled

 

My particular areas of expertise are stock research, individual-company analysis, and portfolio design.  While the lion's share of my time and focus is spent researching in-house for Zeal publications, I do enjoy assisting those in need of special projects.

 
If you are looking for stock research or individual-company analysis on a company I haven't previously profiled, there will be substantial time costs.  It takes many hours to sift through financial statements and other filed documents in order to familiarize myself with any company.  If you are looking for a custom profile, I can usually provide you with a ballpark time estimate based on company sector and size.  (Please note…  We do not engage in stock promoting.  If we profile a company on their own dime, we'll never recommend it as a trade to our newsletter subscribers nor include it in our fundamental reports.)

 
As for portfolio design, I am happy to tailor one that meets your individual needs.  Please know that we are partial to commodities investments based on their ongoing secular bull markets.  Commodities and their respective stocks have been among the best-performing assets since 2000, and we believe they will continue to outperform the markets in the years to come.

 
Your custom portfolio will be delivered to you in an Excel format via either e-mail attachment or hard-copy postal mail.  This portfolio's components and weightings will be tailored to your personal risk tolerance, which we'll establish upfront based on our initial conversation.

 
Within your portfolio I'll highlight many world-class commodities stocks ranging from the investment-grade majors to speculative junior explorers.  I'll indicate which ones are our favorites at the time, and then you can of course choose which ones in which to deploy your own capital.  Typically custom portfolio design takes me about 3 to 4 billable hours.
 
About me...  I started my first business when I was 18 years old to help me get through college, where I double majored in Finance and Entrepreneurship.  After college I worked in the corporate world in the brokerage, banking, and telecommunications industries before I joined Adam at Zeal in 2004.  And what I do at Zeal is my passion, I wouldn't trade it for any other job on the planet (except being a professional golfer).  I am also a family man who is extremely dedicated to my beautiful wife and children.  But most important of all, I am a Biblical Christian deeply devoted to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
