Chen Lin moved to the United States as a young man and is an American citizen. At one point in his younger years, he had an opportunity to work toward a PHD in aeronautical engineering at Princeton. But as an investor his rapid success led him to continue on that career path.
I first learned to know Chen when he met me at an investment conference in New York City in the mid 2000s. I could see that he was astute investor. For a number of years Taylor Hard Money Advisors, provided back office services for his newsletter, “What is Chen Buying? What is Chen Selling?” During this time and beyond Chen did extremely well in the mining sector and also developed an expertise and investment success in the biotech sector. Mos of his subscribers are hedge fund managers and high net worth investors who profit from his insights into the high risk/high reward mining and biotech sectors.
In this interview Chen notes that China is facing a deflationary implosion from the collapse of the real estate bubble there. As such, China is in no way capable of bailing the U.S. out of its current debt induced malaise. In my interview, Chen also talked about how Chinese citizens are continuing to move their savings into gold and silver.
At about 17 minutes into the interview Chen talked about his 2024 portfolio performance. He noted that one of his best performers was Cerro de Pasco which is also a favorite of mine. He thinks that Cerro de Pasco has much further to run on the upside. As such it is one of his top picks as we enter 2025.
I hope you enjoy the numerous insights Chen shared with me in this interview. For those of you who may be interested in Subscribing to “What is Chen Buying? What is Chen Selling?” you can do so by going to ChenPicks.com.
