Keith Neumeyer discusses the IPO of his new company, First Mining Finance (FF). First Mining Finance has been designed to take advantage of the depressed markets for mining assets. Many see current valuations as the cheapest they have been in 20 years, on a relative basis perhaps even the cheapest ever. FF’s aim is to tap into its large knowledge base and use it to accumulate as many quality mining assets as possible (Americas only) - assets which don’t require higher metals prices to be viable - while they are cheap. Eventually, the plan is to have a large bank of them. When (if) the mining cycle turns favourable again, it is hoped the ‘mineral bank’ will have appreciated considerably in price. FF will then look to generate revenue either from re-sales, JVs, royalties or streaming structures.The man behind the deal is Keith Neumeyer. For those of you that don’t know Keith, he built First Majestic Silver (TSX:FR) and took it from penny stock status to $25 a share (

Dominic meets with Siam Kidd.Siam joined the RAF after school and not long after completing his officers’ training he began trading and investing. He didn’t have the most successful of starts. Being  self taught and impatient he quickly lost money, including - as he describes the interview - fifteen grand in the time it took him to make a pop tart. This continued for some time as he continually struggled to balance his pilot training and trading, but now trading has become profitable for him. In addition to trading his own book Siam teaches his trading strategies via The Realistic Trader.Bitcoin: the Future of Money? by Dominic Frisby is available directly from the publishers Unbound, from amazon.com or amazon.co.uk.
