While it's always great to hear Rick Rule talk about the markets, at this year's New Orleans Investment Conference we were able to catch up with Rick and talk about his life, and the lessons he's learned through investing.
It was great to hear about some of Rick's biggest successes and failures, and the advice he would pass along to someone who's getting started in the investing world today. Although whatever level of investor you are, there's some really insightful advice from one of today's most successful mining and resource stock experts.
Rick Rule, founder and chairman of Sprott Global Resource Investments Ltd., began his career in the securities business in 1974. He is a leading American retail broker specializing in mining, energy, water utilities, forest products and agriculture. His company has built a national reputation on taking advantage of global opportunities in the oil and gas, mining, alternative energy, agriculture, forestry and water industries.
