Meet Greg Shafransky, the Stock Shaman

Four decades following the resource sector through booms, busts, and everything in between.

The long way around the resource cycle

Greg Shafransky has spent more than three decades watching the metals and mining markets up close. He has seen multiple commodity cycles, talked to hundreds of company management teams, and developed his own framework for separating real opportunity from hype.

What started as personal research and notes shared with friends has grown into a free email list followed by more than 47,000 investors, with another 20,000 readers on X. Greg writes the way he talks: directly, without sugarcoating, without selling anything.

He is not a registered advisor. He does not run a fund. He does not take payment from companies to write about them. The Stock Shaman is a personal publication built around one thing: clear thinking on metals and mining for investors who want to think for themselves.

His research is read by retail investors, brokers, and finance professionals who want a perspective rooted in cycle awareness, capital flows, and the kind of pattern recognition you only get from being in the sector for a long time.

The Approach

How Greg thinks about the market

01

Cycle aware

Commodity markets move in cycles. Understanding where a metal sits in its cycle matters more than any single news headline.

02

Independent

No paid promotions, no sponsored picks, no allegiance to any company or institution. Just one investor's view.

03

Patient

The best ideas in resource markets often take years to play out. Conviction and time horizon matter more than perfect timing.
