At it’s best, CEO.CA is full of timeless market wisdom and timely news on issues that are important to me. At it’s worst, it’s “somebody is wrong on the internet!” Your daily experience may vary depending on who and what you give your attention to.

For what it’s worth, the ability to chose who I give my attention to is a big reason that I enjoy the site – confirmation bias be damned!

For me, CEO.CA combines the open and edgy world of Reddit with the easiness of twitter. The site works! The people are great! What more can you ask for? The conversations on CEO.CA are always moving, but they connect back to important things that came before – just like good stand-up comedy.

At the 2016 Sprott Symposium, Ross Beaty, Robert Friedland, Randy Smallwood, and Robert Quartermain joined Rick Rule for the “Living Legends” panel. Rick asked them a pointed question: “what do you do with your money?” I recall that one of them answered by pointing to the others on the panel and said that he is a dedicated investor in his peers. It seems simple enough, but I think us mere mortals can learn from that attitude.

I believe in the people at CEO.CA and want to contribute to their success.

Ours is a small community and the opportunity to meet or work with others is important. Whether traders, analysts, or executives, CEO.CA provides me with a great way to interact with a broad group of people that is otherwise very hard for me to access. I get to interact with these people on my schedule, review their statements, and determine if I find any of them sufficiently compelling to give them more attention.

The site makes it easy to keep tabs on everything a user does by “subscribing” to their channel and I liberally follow other users, with email updates and all!

Another reason I stay active on CEO.CA is that it is a great venue to work yourself into a job. Be warned, I think you can also work your way out of a job there too. 

I have seen several people achieve success through their work on CEO.CA and I believe this is an important idea in our current era. I saw Ben Hunt do something similar with Epsilon Theory, which started as a free newsletter but then helped him a land great job where he acts as a public intellectual for a large asset manager.

For all the inspiring stories of other people on CEO.CA, I use it because it allows me to write my own story. Literally, in some cases. 

The platform for interactions and posting original content is unique. I find it to be more open than anything else in the junior mining finance space.

Plus, I have to keep coming back to CEO.CA because I can only imagine what will happen on the site in a veritable mining bull market.
