For an incredible 45 years now, Chris has distinguished himself as one of the most provocative and accurate market pundits among his peers, and an especially prescient advisor who has called pretty much every significant market turn of the last four decades. This ability, he is quick to point out, is not “rocket science” but instead, a unique understanding of the nature of our monetary and economic system.Reading or listening to Chris in all manner of venues, conferences and interviews reveals why The National Investor’s motto is “You can get information anywhere, but here you get knowledge.” Chris excels and takes pride in imparting that knowledge: an unrivaled, understandable and useful take on the “Big Picture” of the markets—stocks, metals, interest rates, commodities and MORE—and a talent for guiding his Members to winning stories. His vocation also includes guiding investors, other financial professionals and his fellow consumers/citizens to a broader understanding of our evolving world. Few have been out in front as has Chris of the epochal changes unfolding in our world that everyone else is seeing in their news headlines on a daily basis now
