Author Bio

Travis has asked me to write a monthly column with comments on the markets and stock picks from my broad database that now approaches 400 stocks with investment tips I have learned as a well-seasoned investor in a broad range of markets. I have 15 sector-specific personal portfolios such as base and precious metals, energy, (from oil/gas to uranium, wind/solar and more), agricultural/fertilizer, coal/iron ore, lithium, graphite, rare earths, and critical and specialty metals (a very lucrative but neglected sector), in short, mostly commodities, but I also have a keen interest in new technologies and emerging markets. Another thing you might want to know about me is that I have been an avid organic gardener for over 50 years.Myron Martin is a paid contributor to Stock Gumshoe, he has agreed to our trading restrictions but he chooses his own topics and his words and opinions are his own.

[ed. note: Travis is passing the keyboard to Myron Martin for a quick note today — Myron has usually focused on researching junior mining stocks for the Irregulars, but he sent in this teaser solution that he thought more readers would like to investigate. We have not looked into the stock being teased beyond what […]

In my life-long studies of the Federal Reserve I have been collecting historical quotes that only become more relevant as each year passes. Certainly this one should be on every investor’s list of quotes that are foundational to understanding how our economic and financial system actually operates. Observed Reginald McKenna, President of the Midlands Bank […]

Thanks again Travis for the fact based intel.. Robinson in my opinion may be well connected as he claims, but to use a baseball analogy, by the time a batter hits the big leagues he is bound to hit the occasional home run, but that is not the norm. Expect[...]

On Rickards: "This $0.70 Crypto Game Changer Could Make You a FORTUNE in 2018… Starting Next Monday"

Tha'ts a little extreme if not prejudiced. I agree that the average investor with less than $100,000 in currently investable funds would be foolish to spend $2,000 for any of his services, but not worth 2c, what an uninformed exaggeration. I am sure I am n[...]

Can't disagree with your assessment of Harry DENT, he is totally clueless about gold, his manta never changes, Gold is going to $700. (or less) no matter how much gold keeps rising. At least a BROKEN (stopped) clock is right twice a day.[...]
