Game Over: How You Can Prosper in a Shattered Economy (Business Plus, 2009) predicted a permanent peak in global commodity production. Dr. Leeb's eighth and latest book, Red Alert (Hachette, 2011) outlines how China's growing prosperity and its demands on increasingly scarce resources threaten the American way of life.Dr. Leeb sits on various boards sharing his strategic perspectives on financial markets and natural resources, including Plain Sight Systems, a technology holding company centered at Yale University; Leor Exploration & Production LLC, a Houston-based oil and gas exploration company whose Texas operations were sold in November 2007 to Encana for $2.55 billion; Electrum USA Ltd., one of the world's largest privately held gold exploration companies, Sunshine Silver Mine Corp., a privately held silver exploration company and Water Intelligence plc, a publicly traded London-based company that has developed cutting-edge technology for managing water supplies.

Stephen's Articles

If food production is an essential long-term area for investors, Deere & Co. (DE) remains the sector’s indispensable long-term investment of choice. We first recommended Deere 10 years ago, and all the reasons we liked it back then continue to apply and then some, as the company keeps innovating and expanding its reach, maintains Stephen Leeb, editor of The Complete Investor.
We first recommended the small-cap play AMG Critical Materials (AMVMF) in 2020. Since then, the shares have gained more than 200%. But the stock continues to meet our criteria as a small-cap value and growth play, writes Stephen Leeb, editor of The Complete Investor.
Since gold began trading freely in the US, there have been periods of spectacular gains in silver, but no five-year period in which silver has outperformed gold. Overall, during that nearly 50-year period, gold has outperformed silver by about 800 percentage points. That is one reason I’m recommending one of the world’s most dynamic gold miners, Endeavour Mining (EDVMF), writes Stephen Leeb, editor of The Complete Investor.
DaVita (DVA) is the nation’s largest provider of care for individuals with kidney disease. It currently trades at historically low valuations, but we think the reasons are transitory. Combined with strong growth prospects, that suggests potential for major outperformance, writes Stephen Leeb, editor of The Complete Investor.
