The most
valuable commodities – in business, and life
in general – are “good, smart people.” When dealing with
the “life or death” battle of FIAT vs. REAL money, such assets
are even more crucial. Many seek to steal from – or misinform
- the public, and only through the wisdom of industry giants have
I survived and thrived.
In “TEN YEARS
OF HEAVEN AND HELL” in Precious Metals, I have encountered the best
– and worst – of mankind, in my eternal search for the
“good, smart people.” Or at least their opinions, as I
have not met many of these luminaries. My earliest influences were
undoubtedly Richard Russell and Jim Sinclair, and shortly after (circa 2003)
I came across GATA – the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee.
Since
1999, GATA’s principal modus operandi has been education about
PM manipulation, a topic I have significantly advanced through ten years of
research. Through this fantastic organization, I have met some of the
world’s BEST, smartest people, including – among others –
“ADMIRAL SPROTT.”
Some were sponsors, some content contributors, and many – readers with
a passion for REAL MONEY and FREE MARKETS.
A small
group of us regularly contributed to GATA over the years, but my favorite was
always “Bill H” – a.k.a. Bill Holter.
Bill also had a successful Wall Street career, and came across REAL MONEY
well before myself. He, too, has commentated about the PM markets – and
global economy – for years, spot on in essentially EVERY one of
his macroeconomic forecasts. Bill has a gift for writing similar to David Schectman’s – the ability to communicate
deep, thoughtful content in a few short paragraphs. I wish I could get so
much across so concisely, but my strength is the dissemination of MASS
QUANTITIES of information – hence, my lengthy RANTS.
Until last
year, “Bill H” was an anonymous GATA contributor, just as myself. However, at last August’s GATA conference in
London, I had the great fortune of meeting Bill and his lovely wife Kathy.
“Offline,” Bill is the same tough-talking character as online,
and one of the most likable people you’ll meet. A former boxer, he
defines the type of tough Texan you’d want to avoid in a fight –
and that you’d want at your side in the trenches of battle. Which is exactly what we’ve been through for the past
decade.
When I
learned that Bill would be joining Miles Franklin, I was thrilled. What sets
us apart – aside from customer service, our International Precious
Metal Storage Program, and Swiss annuity product offering – is the FREE
education we provide on all aspects of Precious Metals. David Schectman created this format many years ago, and Andy Schectman has become one of the industry’s most
intelligent and likeable communicators. Last year, I was hired as Marketing
Director, and the addition of Bill Holter completes
our education “product offering.”
I have
looked forward to Bill’s commentaries each day for the past decade, and
am thrilled to now call him colleague.
Please
join us in welcoming Bill Holter to the Miles
Franklin team!

YOURSELF, and do it NOW!
