LITTLE PERSONAL HISTORY:

Born in New York, spent 16 years on Wall Street –starting with my first internship as a college sophomore at Paine Webber in 1989, until leaving Salomon Smith Barney, where I was an award-winning
oilfield service equity analyst, in 2005. In 2002, shifted all my investments to Precious Metals, and by the time I left Salomon, had become a gold/silver expert.
Starting writing free missives a year later, became well known in the PM “shadow world” via the GATA, or Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee website, and started working in mining investor relations,
also in 2006. Continued writing free missives, and was discovered by Miles Franklin in 2011, which had it’s own, PM-focused blog. Joined Miles Franklin in 2011, and have been writing/podcasting
actively each day, building a large global following.
