He publishes a daily mining and commodities market report for Eureka County and surrounding areas (http://eurekaminer.blogspot.com/ ).

Mr. Baker has been active in the equity and commodity markets as a personal investor since 2001. He performs metals and market analysis under the name CP Analytics.
