Roland Watson has been interested in precious metals since the late 1990s when the Millenium Bug had people buying up gold in fear of a major collapse. At that time he bought his first Krugerands. Silver followed as an investment strategy in 2003 as people again looked to alternate investments during the stock market downturn. That interest in silver has remained as he realised that the future looked decidedly inflationary rather than the disinflation of the last 20 years. When he is not researching precious metals, Roland works as a software engineer in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is the analytical mind of such a job that hopefully helps him see past the emotional hype that so often pervades the world of the gold and silver bug!
