Vin Maru - Analyst & Trader
Golden Fortunes

With a particular interest in the business and financial world, I graduated from Brock University in 1995 with an Honours Business Administration Degree in Finance.   After spending some travelling and working part time in the computer industry, I decided to start my own computer consulting and sales business mostly focused on Internet related technologies of hardware and software to corporate clients. 

With the massive explosion of internet related technologies, we decided to partner with Macromedia and became a Canadian channel partner for their Interactive Learning Division.  Right away, our team of employees became developers of websites, interactive multimedia presentations, computer and web based training applications, Learning Management Systems and internet related technologies.  Projects consisted mostly of corporate application and development work for clients included Earnest & Young, Imperial Oil, Canadian Tire, Chapters, Scotia Bank and Bell Canada. 

During the whole time I still followed my passion for investments and stock markets by trading in a personal account.  After the tech bust, I decided to follow my passion and focus solely on becoming an investor, trader and analyst. As a private investor and analyst with over 15 years of experience, I first focused on Technology during the Boom and the Bust that followed. 

In 2005, I started investigating Gold and the causes for the sudden price rise in the prior few years, that's when I got bitten by the GOLD BUG. 

I realized we were at the beginnings of "the next biggest boom" in commodities and "the even bigger bust" to follow in the financial system and paper currencies.  Over 7 years ago I decided to focus and become an expert on Precious Metals, I have never looked back since and I look forward to building a wealth of GOLDEN FORTUNES in the years ahead.

Here are a few skills that I have developed along the way:

• 16 years of experience in Internet and Multimedia Technologies
• 15 years as a private investor and market analyst including Stocks, Forex, ETFs, Futures, Options, Private Placements and Warrants.
• Self taught with 7 years experience in Mining Companies, Commodities, Fundamental and Technical Analysis
• Daily research & analysis of the commodities sector & mining companies (focused on precious metals)
• Constant communication with industry experts & representatives of mining companies
• Continuously attending industry conferences, courses and trade shows
• An entrepreneurial spirit with sales & marketing leadership and strong project management skills
