Peter L. Bernstein is one of the most respected financial analysts in the world. Until he sold to Citigroup in 1967, he headed his own financial management firm, making millions for his clients while managing billions of dollars for institutional investors. He has been financial advisor to the biggest nonprofit organizations and Fortune 500 companies. He knows history and has lived through some of the most interesting financial times ever, the Depression of the thirties, World War II (serving in economic intelligence in the CIA's predecessor, the Office of Strategic Services, or OSS), the post-war boom and numerous subsequent bull and bear markets. Through it all, he has retained his independence as a thinker.

In short, he is a man who knows finances both through diligent study and personal experience and he is an authority on the most basic and ancient of all forms of money... gold.

Peter has written seven books on economics and finance, including such well-reviewed texts as Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk and Capital Ideas, The Improbable Origins of Modern Wall Street.

In this interesting and remarkable interview, Mr. Bernstein and Goldline's Chief Market Analyst, Joe Battaglia, host of The American Advisor, explore the history of one of the most beautiful, durable and desirable assets: Gold.
