[SPEAKER_A] Hello again from Sprott Money and sprottmoney.com. We're now into the middle part of June 2026, and that means it's time for your monthly Ask The Expert segment. I'm your host Craig Hemke, and joining me this month is Brien Lundin. Many of you'll recognize Brien from his great work with his newsletters and of course the famous, always must-attend New Orleans Investment Conference. I'm gonna pick Brien's brain about what's going on in the metals as well over the course of the next 20 minutes or so. Brien, thank you so much for joining me.

[SPEAKER_B] Great to be with you, Craig. I have always been such a huge fan of what you do and your contributions to metals investors. All over the place. So I hope you don't mind. I may ask you more questions than you ask me. So fair warning.

[SPEAKER_A] Well, you're very kind and generous with your words. I appreciate that. We've certainly been at it for a long time, Brien. And hopefully we can keep at it for a while longer. But the current times notwithstanding, it's been mostly fun to be following these things. You have, just so people know, You run and produce a couple of great newsletters, The Gold Newsletter and the Golden Opportunities Newsletter. Let's start there.

At the time, it was illegal to own gold, which just seems so ridiculous now today, but it was. And he thought it was ridiculous, obviously, and he saw the inflationary implications in the coming dollar devaluation that would come. And so he decided to lobby for the return of the right of gold ownership to American citizens so they could protect themselves. And his main tool in doing that was a newsletter called "Gold Newsletter," which he sent out from his kitchen table to try and raise funds for the lobbying effort. Did a lot of crazy things to advance that effort. And "Gold Newsletter" over the years evolved from a kind of a lobbying publication to an investment publication as it actually became legal to do that in the US. Along the way, in 1974, when we knew that we were going to be successful, he was going to be successful in getting gold legalized, he decided to have an investment conference to teach Americans how to invest in gold. That has evolved over the years into the New Orleans Investment Conference. And that in turn is the longest-running investment event in the world today. So I was hired as a junior copywriter for Jim in the 1980s and kind of survived all of ...
