In 2001 he semi-retired from the daily routine of buying and selling collectibles, to trading stocks on-line, and writing articles on investing.
His hobbies are: cycling, writing articles and studying the Bible for spiritual growth.
Instead of physical gold and silver, Peter recommends investing in gold trusts such as PHYS.to, MNT.to, and silver trusts such as PSLV.to, MNS.to, CEF (CEF.TO) (a safer way to participate in the current bull market!).
