* Bio
I started blogging in 2003. The "Mover Mike" blog covers politics from a conservative or libertarian perspective, economics from an Austrian school perspective, and the hard choices about immigration. I cover geology (earthquakes and volcanoes), natural disasters, current TV, book and movie reviews, troubled companies, precious metals and the hoax of global warming.
After Mover Mike came the "Landfair Furniture (Blog)." Landfair Furniture + Design Gallery was the first furniture store to use a blog, as part of a diversified marketing program. "The Landfair Furniture (Blog)" is written for the interior designer and his/her clients. It also covers news about the latest trends in fashion and color, best practices, interviews to promote our local design community, local companies, and restaurants.
In 2008, I started the "Market Bugle" which just covers trading and business topics based on my experience as a stockbroker for over 25 years.
Recently, I started "Mexico Calling." Mexico calls to my wife and me. I want to chronicle my preparations for the change and impart to you what drives us to move there.
Future plans include a book of children’s poetry titled Yellow Bus Poetry based on my experience as a school bus driver.
* Comments
Forbes asked me to join the Forbes.com Business and Financial Blog Network.
* Awards and Achievements
* Publications
Based upon my writings on the furniture blog, "Home Accents Today" (circulation of 20,000+) hired me in August, 2007 to post to a blog that I named "The Landfair Retail Focus." "The Landfair Retail Focus" was about furniture, fabric and accessory retailers written by a retailer. While the blog covered best practices and inspiration, I tried to connect to retailers by writing how we at Landfair Furniture dealt with the same problems they faced and what we did in those situations. I also wrote about fashion and color, companies in the business, what’s working and even suggestions for future business opportunities. My Last Post at Home Accents Today was March 31, 2010 with traffic exceeding 12,000 visits per month.
In September 2012, Mike published "Gold Rush!" The new book “Gold Rush!”
answers the question “How do I buy Gold?” and is written from the perspective
of a guy who lived through the second gold rush. It is written for the novice who wants to
protect his or her wealth, but doesn’t know how. Mike Landfair has been writing
about Gold (and Silver) and making predictions about future precious metal
prices for almost a decade. He wants to help you to survive the collapse of
fiat currencies.
* Education
I have a BS in Political science and a minor in Economics.
* Work Experience
As you can imagine, someone my age has a lot of work eperience. I was a stockbroker for almost 30 years, then worked in marketing convincing high tech companies to outsource parts of the their marketing programs to me. I helped my wife start Landfair Furniture + Design Gallery, a fabric, furniture and accessory store for interior designers and the retail public. I was her marketing guru. For the last 4 1/2 years have given back to my community by driving a school bus in the morning and afternoon.
