JIM DINES, BROADCAST FROM SAN FRANCISCO
James Dines is the author of 5 highly regarded books, in addition to his popular newsletter and videotaped educational series. Mr Dines' highly successful investment strategies have been praised by Barron's, London Financial Times, Forbes, Moneyline, and The New York Times, among others. James Dines has become legendary for having made correct forecasts that were in complete contradiction to the rest of the financial community. In an industry where it takes courage and conviction to go against the crowd, Mr Dines defiantly warned investors of the "invisible crash" that would bring down stocks in 1966, the unexpected gold boom of 1974, the Internet revolution of 1996, and the market top in 2000. And now, he warns of "The Coming Uranium Boom" that is steadily approaching. His subscribers to The Dines Letter have profited so much that subscriptions are handed down to second generations.
