Brien Lundin: How I Became a Gold Bug
Fergus Hodgson, August 24, 2018 
Prominent metals investor Brien Lundin, CEO of Jefferson Companies, shares memories and insights from his three decades in the business.
He tells the story of how he met Jim Blanchard, the “ultimate gold bug” who fought for the legalization of gold ownership and took Lundin under his wing.
Lundin believes we are at a critical point for investors to protect themselves from the next inevitable crisis. He also hopes to continue Blanchard’s legacy by expanding the right to hold and trade gold alongside the US dollar.
