Mike Roy is an independent precious metals technical analyst who first became interested in the sector following the Global Financial Crisis in 2008. Mike's charting technique is founded on the conviction that price action is a manifestation of human emotions - fear and greed - and since those emotions continue to repeat over time, so too do their chart patterns. His particular interest is in identifying long-term secular bull markets and sharing those charts with an audience that wishes to protect its purchasing power over time rather than speculate on short-term trades.
