Chris Verhaegh Biography
Chris’s father immigrated to the US when quite young and worked to help support his 9 siblings during the depression. So, he never went to high school. Wanting better for their son, he and his wife were grateful when Chris’s genius for math (at age 14 he wrote and sold a logic puzzle to Dell Crosswords) earned him a scholarship to a prestigious prep school in LA.
That’s where it all began…
Chris’s 11th grade guidance counselor got him a job as mail clerk for an investment firm. Soon, Chris was writing the newsletters he previously addressed and mailed. And a few years later he became head of the precious metals division during the great ‘Gold Rush’.
In 1983, after the gold-bubble burst, Chris went to work for a private mint where he honed his skills as a precious metals trader, using options to hedge major holdings.
In search of a simpler lifestyle, Chris moved his wife and young daughter to Boise, Idaho (3 sons born there). And he settled into trading for a living… plus writing, speaking, and teaching.
