Miles Franklin Ltd.

You know, Kirk, I've been talking about this since I cut my teeth in the space.

My first precious metals purchase was in 2006 from Miles Franklin.

10 10-ounce bars of silver.

And things have only accelerated to the downside as far as I can tell.

I mean, I have been accumulating gold and silver every two weeks for 36 years as a promise to my father when we started this company, coming from nothing.

selling their life insurance policies, borrowing $60,000 from the Franklin and Miles Franklin, my dad's oldest friend since childhood, starting in an office the size of a closet before the internet.

You won't make the same mistakes I made, he said.

You'll buy something every two weeks or I'll fire you.
