Brian Leni is the Founder and Editor of Junior Stock Review. He’s an Engineer (P.Eng) by trade and has worked in heavy industry for 10 years, predominantly in the steel industry. He got started in the stock market when he began working full-time. He was immediately drawn to the junior sector for a variety of reasons, but mostly because of the incredible gains that could be made from these tiny resource stocks. In 2013, as the resource market continued to decay from its highs in 2011, he made the bold decision to sell his family’s home and use 2/3 of the equity to invest, in what he believed, were the best junior companies in the sector. Over the next 2 years he deployed that cash and in 2016 he was rewarded for the extensive due diligence and courage he had in the heart of the bear market, and his portfolio rose a spectacular 300%, which allowed him to leave his career and pursue investing full time. Over the last 3 years he has perfected his craft as a successful junior resource sector investor and has been supporting his family, almost exclusively, from the profits that he makes through his investments.

Mr. Chen Lin is a full time fund manager of his extended family assets. He started to write the stock newsletter “What is Chen buying? What is Chen selling?” In 2009 he successfully navigated his family portfolio during the 2008 financial crisis. Chen covers mining, energy and technology, especially biotech in his letters with great track records. Most stocks Chen likes are small caps. Some are very liquid, for example Sarepta which is his biggest winner for 2016, easily has over 100 million dollar worth of shares changing hands in a day. Same for IMMU in 2020, which was taken over for 22 billion. However some juniors are not and hard to accumulate. Chen occasionally did offer good opportunities in private placement that he or his family participated in.

Chen has a passion for mining, he personally visited many mining projects around the world.

Throughout his career Mr. Taylor worked as a banker, including holding a job in the Mining and Metals Group of ING Barings in New York.

He has been a gold investor since 1991, with a focus on Junior Mining stocks since 2004.

First, he wrote a book, How to Invest in Gold & Silver: A Complete Guide with a Focus on Mining Stocks. (available on Amazon.com). This was followed by his website to provide data, tools, and analysis for gold and silver stock investors. His gold and silver mining stock newsletter is regarded as one of the best. He is a frequent guest on financial podcasts and a contributor to SeekingAlpha.com. He also posts frequently on X (Twitter) using the handle @dondurrett, and at Substack.com (dondurrett.substack.com).

Ted Butler is an independent analyst who writes at the intersection of metals, mining, and macroeconomics. After graduating with a BA in International Business from the University of Liverpool in 2022, he began a master’s in finance — but withdrew, disillusioned by the thoughtless promotion of 60/40 portfolios and the omission of gold and silver from the curriculum.

Sacrificing a more lucrative career as a financial advisor, Ted’s moral compass beckoned him to carve out his own niche as a sound money advocate, as he asked himself: How can a financial advisor, whose job is to manage a client’s assets, fulfil their fiduciary obligation without allocating to the very asset that has been money for 5000 years, i.e. gold and silver?

In 2023, the strength of this conviction guided Ted to The Morgan Report, where he became an analyst who regularly penned articles about precious metals, geopolitics, and de-dollarisation. At the same time, Ted’s passion for sound money resonated with Ronnie Stöferle – author of the In Gold We Trust report, where he has written the annual silver chapter for 3 years and counting. Ted now contributes as a Senior Analyst for The Silver Advisor and The Gold Advisor.

During this time, Ted has spoken at conferences across the globe, received interviews from the likes of Daniela Cambone, and visited mines, including that of Silver Advisor holding, Outcrop Silver. Now based in Latin America, Ted brings boots-on-the-ground insight to Silver Advisor, where he works closely and diligently with Peter Krauth to analyse the full silver spectrum.”
