A while ago, I think five or six years ago, Eric Sprott asked me if I would consider being a board member. Eric was a subscriber to my newsletter to The Gloom, Boom and Doom Report.
And I had written a book in 2001, called Tomorrow’s Gold: Asia’s Age of Discovery, which was not specifically about gold, but it was about the coming bull market in commodities driven by the incremental demand from China.
So I think that he saw a fit philosophically and also considered my abilities as an administrator and so asked me to join the board.
