OUR AGREE-MENTS
Purchase of Avdiivka Coke Plant
The main reasons for buying the company:
1. Increase in prices for steel and coking coal in the world and in Ukraine.
2. Freezing the conflict in Donbas.
3. Akhmetov whitewashes the business and shows the real profit due to the need for Western loans to save his empire.
4. Extremely low value on the stock market. We bought 1 share for an average of UAH 0.97.
5. Excellent long-term situation in the company.

3. Akhmetov whitewashes the business and shows the real profit due to the need for Western loans to save his empire.
4. Extremely low value on the stock market. We bought 1 share for an average of UAH 0.97.
5. Excellent long-term situation in the company.
But Akhmetov violated Ukrainian legislation and was able to force us to sell him shares for 15 hryvnias before the dividends were paid. We litigated for 3 years, and in the summer of 2022, the Supreme Court of Ukraine made a fair decision. Structures of Rinat Leonidovych must compensate us for the amount calculated from the value of the shares in UAH 54. For every hryvnia invested, we received 15 hryvnias in 2018 and won in court in 2022 another 39.4 hryvnias per share + inflationary considerations from 2018. The winnings in the Supreme Court amounted to USD 1.5 million.
The value of the company's shares is flying into the abyss, but we buy everything we can. Everyone looks at us as if we're crazy, but logic and common sense always wins. We are gradually consolidating 1.4% of the company in our hands, and then everything is happening according to the calculations. Record profits of the industry and the company. Retained earnings that are 36 times higher than our purchase price. Dividends in the amount of UAH 15 per share are scheduled for payment.
In 2015, our founder Paul Boiko analyzed the situation in the world in detail. He understood that steel and coking coal would rise in price in the nearest future. Massive construction in China and shrinking supply will push prices higher. At that time, 90% of Avdiivka belonged to Rinat Akhmetov. He did everything to collapse the value of the company on the stock market and buy it for nothing. He delisted, ran a black PR company and extracted profits through artificial pricing. Due to a number of reasons, Paul immediately understands that this will be an incredible deal and starts buying shares of a fairly unprofitable company.
Let's start with our most famous deal, which perfectly reveals our investment strategy and shows the realities of business in Ukraine. We became the second shareholder of the largest coke chemical in Europe and 3 years later we sold our share to Rinat Akhmetov for 15 times more. But how did we do it?

Other interesting deals in various sectors of the economy

2017 year
177% profit at Aval Bank. The collapse of banking system in Ukraine. Mass bankruptcies and nationalization of the largest private bank. At this time, we make a decision to invest money in the bank. Our investment based on the quality of credit portfolio, management and the fact that the "European Bank for Reconstruction and Development" became a co-owner and invested its capital in the Aval bank. As time showed, Aval turned out to be the only really successful bank. He made more than 100% of the profits of the entire banking system when other banks were unprofitable.
2019 year
342% profit on "Interpipe". Pinchuk's company is very underrated. We understand that after the election of Zelenskyi as president, the Russian market will be opened for it. We bet on a quick resale right after the election. During the entire time of cooperation with our clients, we have not had any unprofitable transactions. Of course, investing, like business, is always a risk, but those who never take risks risk the most. The world is very diverse and creates disproportions in the market, which of course we will take advantage of. So many incredible deals are waiting for you and us!
2022 year
This year, we also profited from the fall in the value of shares and raw materials. We were sure that the US stock market would collapse in 2022. Our founder said it in every interview and in many posts and of course put it into practice. Paul described this in great detail in the post "Collapse of the World Economy", a link to which you can find in the Knowledge section. We made 37% on the drop in oil prices through the SCO fund in June and July. Then there was the 101% profit on the decline in US technology companies through the SQQQ fund in August and September. It was the year of the downgrade game for US tech companies.
2021 year
235% at Ukrnafta. We bought a block of shares in 2018, when the company was unprofitable and under the partial control of oligarch Kolomoiskyi. We bought with the expectation of oil price increases and understanding that Kolomoiskyi would not have total control over the company in any case. The company was fundamentally undervalued. We bought a loss-making business at a price of $4 per share, and the very next year it made a profit of $4.4 per share. Only the designated dividend was greater than our investment. Although we have to receive dividends through the court. These are the realities of Ukraine.

NO ONE WILL EVER SELL YOU A MILLION FOR 300 THOUSAND, BUT IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME IN THE STOCK MARKET
OUR STRATEGY
We always analyze global and national markets, company revenues and expenses, value of assets and liabilities, cash flow, cost structure and company management, competitor strategy and legislation. The personality of the owners and much more.
Our strategy is best revealed by the description of the deals
Generally, our portfolio contains from 4 to 10 securities. Because if you can buy one incredible company, it's better to buy only that than five more less interesting businesses. We do very few transactions, because each transaction is an additional cost for its execution, plus spreads, the difference between the purchase and sale price.
Then there is logic and various ratios to evaluate the business. We compare our estimate with the current share price and make a decision. In the long run, a business will always cost as much as it generates profit.
The core of our business is investing in undervalued companies, but we always look at any opportunity to make money. Bonds, real estate, raw materials and the downgrade. We allocate no more than 10% of the portfolio to risky investments.
We advise you to read about them, and even better to talk to us

THE FOUNDER OF GONZO
But investing is my life's work and I have been devoting all my time to it for several years. I will do everything to ensure that Ukraine occupies a worthy place on the international map of the stock markets of the world.
I became interested in the stock market at the age of 10, when I read Theodore Dreiser's book The Financier. It fascinated me so much that I immediately started teaching other kids to play bonds and the Antimonopoly Committee . But, unfortunately, there was no stock market in the USSR and I had to wait for a very long time.
My name is Paul Boiko, I have been investing since 2008, and I also help hundreds of people from all over the world earn money. From 2017 to 2021, I managed to earn 1165% on the Ukrainian stock market with a market growth of 118%.
First, I moved to Kyiv and worked my way up from salesman to director of a chain of supermarkets and pharmacies. In 2012, I created a pharmaceutical business with partners, and later several market leaders in various product categories. From chemistry to food products.

WE BUY INCREDIBLE COMPANIES, WHEN NO ONE BELIEVES IN THEM AND WE HOLD THEM FOR THE LONGEST TO GET THE MAXIMUM PROFIT
Cooperation with us
In the long term, stocks (shares in business) have always significantly outperformed any other alternative in terms of profitability. Deposits, real estate, bonds and gold.
During the 20th century, there were two world wars, many crises, and the Great Depression. But shares have been the most profitable instrument for the past 300 years and will continue to be so. Because business is entrepreneurship, creativity and profit. We do not know the future, but we know for sure that the value of companies will increase.

Because business is entrepreneurship, creativity and profit. We do not know the future, but we know for sure that the value of companies will increase.
We strongly believe that our job is to select those that are most undervalued and have the greatest potential for future growth from the mass of assets circulating in many markets. We sell shares or bonds from the portfolio not to play on fluctuations, but to purchase other, potentially more profitable securities. To do this, we must evaluate and conduct fundamental, economic analysis of all securities presented on the markets, as well as track their current value.
Our investment philosophy is to buy fundamentally undervalued first class companies. We buy when a great company is on the "operating table" and is being sold very cheaply. That is, we buy when the share price of $1 is sold for 30-35 cents. Benjamin Graham, Michael Berry, Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger have been doing the same.

That is, we buy when the share price of $1 is sold for 30-35 cents. Benjamin Graham, Michael Berry, Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger have been doing the same.
We treat the purchase of stock as the acquisition of shares in the company. Speculation is a high-risk transaction, and we are chess players, not poker or, for that matter, casinos.
A vivid example of the absurdity of trading and speculation is the collapse of Long-Term Capital Management. Members of the board of directors of LTCM were Myron Scholes and Robert Merton, who in 1997 received the Nobel Prize in Economics with the wording "for a new method of determining the value of derivatives." The company had at its disposal the best brokers, financiers, mathematicians, Nobel laureates, the best margin conditions, virtually unlimited lending by banks (the leverage reached 25:1.). LTCM; literally: "Long-term capital management" existed for only 4 years. After the crash in 1998, the owners organized 2 more hedge funds (2000 and 2010) and tried to continue the LTCM strategy, but both attempts ended in failure as with LTCM.
Of course, there are always people who make money from speculation, but many of them eventually become bankrupt. Most speculators in the stock market simply lose money or significantly lag behind the market in terms of returns. This is a harsh statistic. We give preference to fundamental analysis and common sense, which is why we manage to make stable earnings for a long time.

If you are not ready to lose 50% of your money, then you should not invest in the stock market. At the same time, it is impossible to lose 100% of money if you do not use borrowed funds and diversify investments. Any business and investment is a risk. No one gives any guarantees. We had an investor who lost 50% of his money at a short stage due to the fact that the war in Donbas started, but then he still earned 273% in 2 years. We have been working with him since 2008 and I am sure that we will congratulate each other on our 80th anniversary.
All international brokers with whom we cooperate are strictly controlled by American and European regulators. These are profitable companies that are participants in investment guarantee funds. At any moment, you can transfer securities to another broker.

Since 2015, our worst year was plus 5.32%, and the best brought 238.18% profit. We never know 100% what next year will be like, but most likely in the long run we will earn more than the market average. All our past experience shows this. You should never estimate profitability in absolute numbers. The main thing is the comparison with the average indicators on the market. It is much better to lose 10% when the market is down 40% than to make 15% when the market is up 20%.
On average, investments in shares give a much higher return than deposits or bonds. Both in the USA, Europe, China, and in Ukraine, but this is if we evaluate long periods. In the medium or short-term period, there can be anything: crises, wars, epidemics, corporate scandals, just panic of the population and a significant drop in the value of shares. The stock market in Ukraine is very underdeveloped, it can be easily manipulated and shareholders can be deceived. But this makes it possible to receive very large incomes due to extremely low prices for individual shares. Any person who guarantees you profitability in business or investment is a fraud. Even money on deposit (above the deposit guarantee amount) is a high-risk investment, much more than if you invested in company shares. There are no guarantees at all.

Our services cost 20% of net profit. Calculation for last year in January. According to the formula: your annual profit is equal to the value of assets on January 1 of this year minus invested funds during the year, minus the value of assets on January 1 of last year plus dividends. We subtract taxes of 19.5% from the growth of shares. Tax on dividends depending on which company it is. For example, Ukrainian companies themselves pay taxes for you. You already receive money after deducting it and we receive net profit.
Calculation example. On January 1, 2021, your shares were worth $100,000 last year. Another $100,000 was invested during the year. A total of $200,000 was invested. Now, on January 1, 2022, the shares plus funds available on the stock market are worth $350,000, plus you received dividends of $50,000. Profit from stock growth $350,000 - $200,000 = $150,000. We subtract taxes of $150,000 - 19.5% = $120,750. We add dividends of $50,000. Total net profit is $170,750. We receive twenty percent (20%) from you in January 2022, which is $34,150.

We cooperate with portfolios from $5,000. Smaller amounts - you can write to Myroslav Korol www.facebook.com/myroslav.korol and chat. He unites people in pools and cooperates with me.
The minimum investment period is 3 years. Ideally at least 5 years. Anything can happen in the short term. Of course, if you need money, you can withdraw it at any time, but if you do not have a long investment horizon, it is much more difficult to earn big money. The magic of compound interest only works in the long term.
For cooperation, it is necessary to open two brokerage accounts. Then we will be able to buy any securities that interest us.

I am proud that by the beginning of 2023, 200+ investors from all over the world are under my management. On New Year's Eve, someone started celebrating before everyone in New Zealand, and someone finished when everyone was asleep in Hawaii. I am even more proud that over the years no investor has left me, that everyone understands the risks and force majeure of war, that there was no panic selling. On the contrary, the majority builds up the portfolio, using a unique chance during the crisis. We earn and rest together. It so happened that almost all my friends eventually became investors. It is important for me to make people wealthy and change the country. We are not only about money, but also about values and way of thinking.
