How Eric invests
Buy near the bottom. Take profits. Stay disciplined.
The Gold Investment Letter exists to help everyday investors do what the pros do in a gold bull market: accumulate quality junior miners when nobody wants them, sit tight with conviction, and take profits to protect principal before the inevitable pullbacks.
Eric has invested his own capital in gold, silver, and mining equities through every phase of the cycle since 2003 — the booms, the busts, and everything in between. Frankly, the best is yet to come as this bull market enters its frenzy stage.
