First, I want to thank our frontline healthcare workers. If you, or someone you know, has access to unneeded personal protection equipment, please visit Operation Protect today. Now, the markets: Last week I told you that I would open up my rolodex, and...

This week we lived through more uncertainty and volatility in the markets than we ever have, and potentially ever will again. So what I am doing right now is leaning harder than ever on my network of Keynote Speakers, Money Managers and Company CEO’s in order to get as much...

In my early 20’s, I wasn’t chasing money. I was obsessed with whitewater kayaking. So I lived in my truck, chasing rivers. Kayaking taught me a lesson about business and life that is still unrivalled. Rivers are beautiful and thrilling, while simultaneously...

I have always thought of Daniela Cambone to be the best journalist in the gold industry. I’ve known Daniela for 9 years now, and every year she gets better. She’s smart, articulate - and most importantly - visibly enjoys her job. I’m always excited when she’s on our stage....

He opened his cheque book and placed the first bet on us succeeding. I met Nick Waddell, the founder of Cantech Letter, in June of 2012. We were introduced by a broker at Canaccord Genuity who had been an avid reader of the Cantech Letter. This broker was a young up and comer, passionate...

It was the first time I had spoken to a Lord. We are two weeks away from the VRIC and I am immersed in conversations with all of our keynote speakers as we flush out content for the show and wrap up last minute details. And I just got off the phone with Lord Conrad Black. With Lord...

He has been the single most influential individual in Vancouver finance over the last 40 years. But back in 1968, a then unknown broker in Vancouver invested $23,000 to purchase a failing business with “no reputation, no money, no history and no talent”. By 1981, his company...

Please allow me to explain why I believe that the upcoming Vancouver Resource Investment Conference (VRIC2020) is, without doubt, the most exciting in the past ten years. Although I am no longer involved in the day-to-day to day operations of Cambridge House, I’m still an active investor...

I am in Vegas at the American Academy of Anti Aging World Congress. There are 5000 attendees here - I am the only one without a PHD (they actually created an exemption to let me in). Today’s workshop is focused on peptides, cellular efficiency and metabolic function. At 35 I still get...

I know I am going to get some flack for hiring another convict. The last time I did this, it was Edward Snowden, and it cost me my Title Show Sponsor. It was worth it. This year, I have a different angle. Our first speaker announcement for the 2020 Vancouver Resource Investment Conference, is...

No matter which financing titan I talk to, whether it’s Rick Rule, Frank Holmes, Marin Katusa or Frank Giustra… They all tell me that “People” are the #1 thing they back. With BIG money. Their own money. It’s not uncommon for one of these big-time financiers...

It was only the 13th time in history that it happened. In 2018, Justify won horse racing’s Triple Crown, having won the Kentucky Derby, the Belmont Stakes and the Preakness Stakes. Winning all 3 titles on route to a Triple Crown is no easy task. The tracks are all different lengths and...
