Upcoming Event: AIChE Dinner Meeting

Posted on by Bodo Albrecht

Hello everyone, and sorry for the long break. As some of you know, I have been busy running “operations” at the International Precious Metals Institute (IPMI) for some time now, on top of my position as Chairman of the Board, and – most of all – on top of my actual job at Sabin Metal Corporation.

Strategic Metals – Staring down a Cliff?

White Cliffs of Dover

Things are looking up, though, and 2018 will be an exciting year. For starters, I am happy to announce a presentation at the American Institute of Chemical Engineers’ Dinner Meeting on January 16, 2018. The event is hosted by the Metro New York Section of AIChE at the Pfizer building in Manhattan. Please take a look at their website for details and registration info.

I look forward to seeing some of you at the event.

Happy New Year,

Bodo

Florida Strong Coin for Hurricane Irma Damage Relief

Posted on by Bodo Albrecht

This is an initiative from Republic Metals Corporation that I thought you should be aware of. Florida is not only the home of the HQ of IPMI, the International Precious Metals Institute, but also of Republic Metals, and it’s a very cool state on top of it. If you know me, you know of my passion for the Florida Keys which is why I am happy to promote this initiative:

“On Sunday, September 10th, the eye of Hurricane Irma, a category-4 hurricane, made landfall over the Florida Keys and continued North, devastating cities all across the Sunshine State. Over 6.5 million people, approximately one-third of the state’s residents, were forced to evacuate in preparation for one of the strongest storms on record. Damage from Hurricane Irma is estimated to be greater than $50 billion and, with government aid and resources already spread thin from Hurricane Harvey, rescue workers and organizations need as much assistance as possible.

Republic Metals has designed and minted the FLORIDA STRONG silver round, and in cooperation with eBay and APMEX will be donating the profits to Red Cross. These donated funds will provide the families and individuals impacted by Hurricane Irma with much-needed food, shelter, and supplies.”

The coins are just $25 a piece so it’s easy to help. Click here to get to the eBay item.

Thank you!

The latest on Strategic Metals: Retire Overseas Conference in Orlando, Florida

Posted on by Bodo Albrecht

retire-overseas-conference-logo-2With a month to go, time for a reminder of this event. Strategic metals are still a relatively new investment group for private investors. To provide in-depth information on the metals, their applications and price developments, I will be speaking at the “Retire Overseas” conference in Orlando, Florida, on behalf of Tradium GmbH of Germany.

Tradium is a large industrial wholesaler supplying electronics and technology companies around the world with Rare Earth Elements and Strategic Metals. The company added private investments just a few years ago and backed it up by launching Metlock, a bonded high-security storage facility in Frankfurt, Germany.

The conference is hosted by Kathleen Peddicord and Lief Simon, who for many years have offered services and education surrounding retirement and investment planning.

Looking forward to seeing some of you there!

NY Times: Platinum Demand faces Impact from Electric Car Growth

Posted on by Bodo Albrecht

 

nyt-t-logoThe New York Times just picked up my Reuters discussion from last week. Generally happy to see that the relevance of this movement is gaining foothold in people’s mind. They might have done without the letters “IPMI” in the title. While it’s true that I am the current IPMI chairman, this interview was a personal one and not an official statement by the institute. Here is the link.
