James West 's career as a capital markets entrepreneur has spanned 20 years and included roles as CEO, Corporate Development, Investor Relations, Corporate Finance, editor, publisher, writer and public speaker. He is a regularly featured guest on BNN, Canada's Business News Network, and provides market insight and investment strategy through his newsletter at MidasLetter.com.



Mr. West's approach to global economics is irreverent and often caustic, yet his subscribers know that he cuts through the smoke and reliably identifies the forces behind major events in the financial media. He is credited with forecasting the bull markets in precious and base metals, food price hyperinflation as well as the collapse of real estate and money markets.



In 1998, he founded ElGrande.com, a unique agency site that provided consumers with an interface between manufacturers, publishers and distributors of books, music, video and toys well ahead of Amazon, who subsequently adopted the model. Elgrande.com achieved a market capitalization of $200 million during Mr. West's tenure.



Subsequently, he founded and is still the CEO of both Resourcex Financial Group, a boutique consultancy providing services in media, public and investor relations as well as corporate finance, and Midas Publishing LLC, who regularly provides content to top tier financial and industry publications.





About MidasLetter.com

Big Mining in Big Trouble Major mining companies' takeover party of the last few years is starting to yield a globalized hangover of epic scope. Many of the world's top producers of primary materials have found that the belle of the ball they danced with and wed in better times has turned into a debt anchor chained to their balance sheets.
