Explaining how Russia is currently being cut off from global markets, he went on to highlight the disruptions in platinum and palladium supply given that Russia is among the largest producers of those metals.

    Tracy, You have so many wonderful guests-don’t know why, but I just can’t listen to this guy. Find him unpleasant to listen to and I have no confidence in his knowledge.

      Marie – you have always been such an excellent commentator, allow me to weigh in. I have known Christopher Ecclestone many years, and he does have a way of communicating which is not everyone’s cup of tea. This said, he is knowledgeable, bright, and is worth listening to. For the record, I do NOT always agree with Christopher nor does he with me. This said, he is a helluva writer and he has at least 30,000 billable hours of life invested into our sector. Something I have recently forced myself to do is to —- not make decisions on people I find likeable and have started paying attention to the less likeable ones (smile). You know why? Because when I look back on the people who were ‘less fun’ — well it was the self-disciplined nearly crazed perfectionists that were demanding and often times unpleasant that have outperformed the more popular ones. Now the perfect storm is when a person can be both. Thanks for weighing in, and for the record, Mr Ecclestone can at times….be charming and even a bit entertaining!
