Lobo Tiggre is the founder and CEO of Louis James LLC, and the principal analyst and editor of IndependentSpeculator.com. He researched and recommended speculative opportunities in Casey Research publications from 2004 to 2018, writing under the name "Louis James." While with Casey Research, he learned the ins and outs of resource speculation from the legendary speculator Doug Casey.

Although frequently mistaken for one, Mr. Tiggre is not a professional geologist. However, his long tutelage under world-class geologists, writers, and investors resulted in an exceptional track record. The average of the yearly gains published for the flagship Casey publication, the International Speculator, was 18.5% per yearduring Tiggre’s time with the publication.

A fully transparent, documented, and verifiable track record is a central feature of IndependentSpeculator.com services going forward. Another key feature is that Mr. Tiggre will put his own money into the speculations he writes about, so his readers will always know he has "skin in the game" with them.

FTX and the Fallout: how crypto investors can pivot and still find crypto-like gains

(Kitco commentary) - The collapse of the FTX crypto exchange, Alameda Research (a sister company and supposed crypto quant-trading fund), and numerous related entities have many pounding the table for government regulation, insisting the US government lead the way.

I’m a Gold Bug—Because I’ve Seen Real Inflation and Devaluation

(Kitco commentary) -People often say that Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. The phrase comes from The Mourning Bride, written by William Congreve in 1697.

Could I be missing something? 4+ bear potential cases against gold and silver

(Kitco commentary) - Novelist-philosopher Ayn Rand famously admonished us to "check our premises." That's a fancy way of saying that it pays to ask ourselves if we might be missing somethingâ??especially when confronted with a situation that makes no sense.

I was wrong: rethinking the gold-silver ratio

(Kitco commentary) - For years, I've disagreed with my fellow silver bugs who pointed to historic highs in the gold-silver price ratio as evidence that silver prices had to go higher.

I expect new all-time highs for gold and silver - here's why

(Kitco commentary) - One of the most common objections to allocating wealth to gold is that "it doesn't pay interest." At the same time, the attractiveness of an asset that canâ??t be inflated away by government fiat is obvious.

In the terms that matter most, gold stocks are still cheap

(Kitco commentary) - Gold prices remain near record highs, but gold stocks, as a class, remain relatively cheapâ??compared to gold itself.

We can't avoid a gold bear by closing our eyes

(Kitco commentary) - Before anyone leaps to conclusions, let me start by saying that I remain extremely bullish on monetary metals: gold and silver.

The printing press always good for gold in the end

(Kitco commentary) - Attention is riveted on the US election this week, but itâ??s pretty clear that the result will be more money-printing, whoever wins the White house. That makes the question of whenâ??or ifâ??inflation will rise more important than ever.

Gold and silver - don't fear the wall of worry

(Kitco commentary) - Investors today seem to love jumping on whatever asset's price is soaring. Tesla is going vertical? Buy Tesla. Gold is going vertical? Buy gold stocks. Already overvalued? No problem-it's hot!

Square root "recovery" bearish for economy, bullish for gold

(Kitco commentary) - The latest unemployment numbers came in higher than most economists expected. Alarming headlines about the blip up of 53,000 new claims over the previous week roiled markets.
