Dr. Richard S. Appel uses the expertise that he has gleaned, from years of financial and economic research and study, to offer his readers insight into future events. He accurately predicted the explosive advances in both gold and silver prior to their lift-offs in 1968, 1972 and 1993. By 1980, profits earned from this profound understanding of markets allowed him to retire from his Optometry practice. He had earlier attained the epitome in his profession when he was elected Chairman of the N.J. State Board of Optometry as well as of the N.J. Society of Optometry.
Dr. Appel began writing his financial newsletter in 1995, when he recognized the need for an unbiased publication that deeply understood gold and silver. Further, his personal success, from nearly three decades of experience in speculative gold and silver mining companies, lent itself perfectly to helping investors achieve added leverage in any gold and silver Bull Market. He and his readers know what it means to purchase a mining stock for pennies and later sell it for multi-dollars. Importantly, he also knows the various innumerable pitfalls that must be avoided to protect oneself from serious loss, and to achieve the rich rewards that often occur in the junior mining stock sector.
Dr. Appel believes that we are in the process of an historic movement from paper assets into hard assets. He fully anticipates that $1,000 gold and $25 silver will be achieved within the next three years. His goal is to help investors better understand the driving forces that are converging to move the economy and common stocks lower, while simultaneously taking precious metals to heretofore unheard of highs. This will help his subscribers weather the various inevitable corrections that gold and silver will undergo, as they inexorably move to their ultimate highs. His desire is to help his readers survive and prosper while most investors endure great suffering during the next decade.
