Michael Berry: Discovery Investing's Stellar Potential
Source: Karen Roche of The Gold Report  (12/15/09)
Discovery Investing Pioneer Dr. Michael Berry's number-one hedging strategy against the struggling USD is to simply own currencies of the commodity countries—of which Canada is his favorite. In addition, Michael tells The Gold Report in this exclusive interview that he believes in "some exposure to the physical" in every investor's portfolio, maybe as little as 1%. He's a staunch believer in discovery investments, ideally a mixture of incubator, mature and legacy companies, so one can partake in the bonanzas that can come when promising discoveries make it to the world-class stage.

Jack Lifton: Safeguarding Our Future Supply of Rare Earths
Source: The Gold Report; interviewed by Karen Roche, Publisher  (12/11/09)
"Price may not be as important as security of supply," says Jack Lifton, an independent consultant with more than 45 years of experience in sourcing nonferrous strategic metals. In the U.S., our dependence on rare metals is undermined by the simple fact that we're not producing any. Given that China now controls 95% of these 'technology metals' and the world is projected to eat 200,000 tons of rare earth metals near 2015, Jack tells The Gold Report we need to jumpstart our own domestic supply chain.
