Here is a Dave Collum’s 2018 Year in Review. The series began life as relatively short essays deriving inspiration from numerous exchanges with market gurus. This 2018 Year In Review is part of a series from 2009–2025. Publication of the bound series was inspired by gold guru, Bob Moriarty and Editor Jeremy Irwin. It captures the critical stories of the year with an emphasis on the critical events of the year with a particular emphasis on the untold subplots. The absurdity of the events is captured with relentless sarcasm and humor without missing the gravity of these critical moments in history.
