David Morgan, founder of the Silver Investor, started investing in the stock market well before turning 18 years of age.

He then spent four years earning a degree in Engineering. Later he went on to obtain a degree in Finance and Economics.

Several years ago, Mr. Morgan put his life long study of free-market economics to work researching the economy, stock market behavior, precious metals, especially silver.

Although very familiar with gold, Mr. Morgan believed that silver needed more exposure and would be utilized increasingly as technology continued to demand more and more of the metal.

He has followed the silver market daily for over thirty years and is considered by many to be one of the foremost silver investors. Much of this website is devoted to education

Julian Philips' history in the financial world goes back to 1971 when Julian joined the London Stock Exchange, qualifying as a member. He specialized from the beginning in currencies, gold and the "Dollar Premium", Britain's Exchange Control system at the time. After the floating of the US$ and the Pound Sterling, the gold/currency world exploded into action. He wrote on gold and the US$ premium in Accountancy and The International Currency Review. He then shifted his sights to Capetown, where he established the Fund Management department of the Board of Executors, which later became part of one of the four, big South African banks.

Julian returned to the "gold world" over four years ago, establishing, Gold - Authentic Money. He currently contributes to Global Watch - The Gold Forecaster, the Prosperity Dispatch and the Silver Forecaster.
