01, The Premise

Macro takes are free.
The room that turns them
into a portfolio is not.

You already know the thesis. The dollar is in trouble. The West has under-invested in extraction for two decades. The energy transition is, at its core, a commodities story. None of that tells you which junior to buy on Monday morning.

Commodity University is the bridge from macro view to actual decisions, a structured curriculum, live access to the operators and analysts you've been listening to, and a private room of investors who size, enter and exit alongside you.

02, What's Inside

Access first.
Then the work.

One annual tier. The room comes first, because it's what you can't replicate alone. The curriculum is the scaffolding underneath it.

The Room

A private WhatsApp community with Jay Martin and a small circle of fund managers, executives and analysts, the names you've been listening to. Not a fire hose of tips. A signal-rich room of peers who take resources as seriously as you do.

Jay's Portfolio Thesis Videos

Short videos where Jay walks through what he is actually doing in his book, when he opens a position, when he changes a thesis, when he is watching something that hasn't broken out yet. Not stock tips. Decisions, explained.

03, Who It's For

Built for the
resource investor,
not the crowd.

The $1,997 membership is the filter. It keeps the room small, serious, and full of people you'd actually want to be sized in beside.

You're a fit if
  • You allocate seriously to resources, gold, copper, uranium, oil & gas
  • You want to evaluate a junior mining company from drill results to exit
  • You want frameworks for sizing, entries and exits, not signals
  • You want a room of fund managers and operators, not Reddit
Not for you if
  • Get-rich-quick, 10x and 100-bagger language
  • Day-trading and crypto-bro energy
  • Flashing buy signals or stock-pick emails
  • Generalist retail with no real interest in the resource sector

07, Objections

Answered
head-on.

Why $447?+

It's a fraction of a single avoidable mistake on a junior, and a fraction of a year of newsletter subscriptions stacked together. The price exists to filter for the room we want, members who show up, do the work, and treat resources as a serious allocation.

I don't have time for monthly live calls.+

Every mastermind is recorded and posted within 48 hours. The full calendar is published six months in advance so you can plan around the sessions you most want live.

I'm too new for this.+

The courses start at fundamentals, how to mechanically buy, how to read a 43-101, how to think about position sizing. The community is built for members at every level.

I'm too advanced for this.+

The masterminds bring fund managers, executives and analysts most retail investors will never get direct access to. The community is full of professionals.

How is this different from the podcast and Substack?+

The free content gives you Jay's macro view. Commodity University gives you the structured education, the live access, the community, and the framework to translate views into portfolio decisions.

What if it's not for me?+

14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Cancel inside 14 days and you're refunded in full.
