Investors can make extraordinary profits based on the value investing approach of Hera Research in the areas of natural
resource supply and demand, macroeconomics and financial markets, geopolitics, as well as structural trends and disruptive changes
in the global financial system and economy.
Hera Research seeks to identify resource stocks that can gain 100% or more in 18 to 24 months. The lifecycles of companies that discover, develop and produce natural
resources allow investors to diversify over multiple resources and company
stages and to move gains back to earlier-stage companies in a continuous wealth creation process.

"He who thus considers things in their first growth and origin, whether a state or anything else, will obtain the clearest view of them." - Aristotle: The Polis, from Politics

Hera Research is grounded in objective reality, free markets, hard assets, scientific methods and Austrian economic theory. Governments tend to interfere in markets through regulation, taxation, subsidies and legislation. Economic conditions can change as a result. Government spending and the relationships of governments and banks or other industries can contribute to economic anomalies. Understanding the relationships between macroeconomic data, government actions, banking, and financial markets is vital when objective reality is obfuscated by government interventions. Economic distortions, market interventions, inaccurate data, and biased financial reporting mislead investors into making poor decisions, but also offer profit opportunities.

The Austrian theory of economics is the only school of economic thought based on individual liberty and independent human action rather than central economic planning by governments or central banks. The currently dominant theory of economics advocates free markets only to a limited degree. By manipulating money and credit, interest rates and liquidity, central banks run the risk of distorting asset prices and perceptions of risk. Through legislation, taxation and regulation, beyond the scope of enforcing contract and criminal law, government intervention in the free market can have many unintended consequences. Economic distortions created by governments and central banks have serious financial implications for investors. However, economic distortions also represent extraordinary opportunities.

"Under them earth flowered delicate grass and
clover wet with dew; then crocuses and solid beds of tender hyacinth
came crowding upwards from the ground." - Homer, Iliad, Book 14.347-349,
tr. Fitzgerald
Hera, Queen of the Immortals, while known today primarily as one of the
twelve Olympian deities of the ancient Greek pantheon, represents a far
older religion. Worship of Hera can be traced to the primeval religion
of the Achaean and Ionic tribes that preceded the civilization of the
ancient Greeks.
According to Greek
myth, Hera is the eldest daughter of the Titan Reah, known as the mother
of gods, and Kronos, among the first of the Titans. Both Reah and
Kronos descended from Gaia, the earth, and Ouranos, the sky. Hera
appears as a young, beautiful woman and is the most beautiful of all
goddesses.
Hera is worshiped throughout Greece and the oldest,
most important temples are consecrated to her. The Heraion of
Perachora, a sanctuary of Hera established in the 9th century BCE, is
situated in a small cove of the Corinthian gulf.
