Past Speakers -  5^th November 2008  }

Mr David Morgan has been a private economist for over two decades.  His background in engineering with an advanced degree in Economics/Finance gives a unique perspective to the financial markets.  He applies the discipline of logic to verify the basics of economic law.  Mr. Morgan has been published in Barron's, The Wall Street Journal, Futures Magazine, The Herald Tribune, Gold Newsletter, Resource Consultants and countless other publications. 
Mr. Morgan does a weekly Mining Industry Review for the Free Market News Network.  This program focuses on the Mining Industry and Precious Metals.  Additionally, Mr. Morgan hosts "The Morgan Report" weekly radio metals wrap-up for the Financial Sense News hour.  Mr Morgan was published in the "Global Investor" regarding ten rules of silver investing and he is the author of  "Get the Skinny on Silver Investing".   Mr Morgan's speaking engagements have taken him all over the world and starting in 2006, he has focused more on fund managers and institutions and less on the retail sector now that he can offer a product to the institutions that is precious metals based. 
Mr Morgan's consultant work involves everything from financing to investor relations proper.  The subtitle for his Silver-Investor.com website is "for the serious precious metals investor" and this summarizes the fact that almost every 'junior' miner selected has eventually moved from the over-the-counter market to at least an AMEX listing.                                                                                               Presentation

Ned joined Cheviot Asset Management in London, July 2008 and is now running a specialist precious metals and natural resources fund.  While he has an eye on all areas of the market he has a special interest in precious metals (silver specifically) and believes that having a proportion of client funds in precious metals is a necessary 'parachute' in today's precarious geopolitical and economic environment.                         Presentation

Mr Paul Tustain is Founder and Director of BullionVault and is a trained computer scientist.  In 2003 he switched from developing high-end equity and bond market systems to the gold bullion market, intending to make gold much more accessible to private buyers.  The result - Bullionvault.com - combines the security and control aspects of CREST, the UK's central securities custodian, with the usability and open access of an internet-based exchange.  Mr Tustain is also the Editor of Galmarley, the popular free research site on gold.   He consults on risk management within the financial sector and is well known as a writer, publisher and TV panellist both on gold and the workings of the financial system.                                                 Discussion Panel
