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.
