The MurkyMarkets.com website, by Christopher Galakoutis, is a running macroeconomic commentary on the state of the financial markets with emphasis on gold, silver, the currency markets and energy. Mr. Galakoutis holds a Bachelor degree in Finance from Concordia University in Montreal, with an additional focus in economics, mathematics and accounting, and started his professional career in the international taxation area with Arthur Andersen. Paid subscribers get access to regular posts in the 'Subscribers' page, while all visitors can register, without purchasing a subscription, to browse and leave comments on public articles.  This site is not a timing service for traders but rather provides commentary from a seasoned investor who believes the markets he writes about are still in the early stages of a major bull market, one that will last many years. To the extent Mr. Galakoutis discusses individual stocks in subscriber posts, he will disclose his positions in that stock, if any.

An independent investor and commentator who first entered the investment arena as a college student in the 80s buying and selling gold stocks, Mr. Galakoutis has over 20 years experience investing in markets around the world having lived in financial capitols such as New York City, Toronto, Hong Kong and others. 

After a long absence from the precious metals scene, he returned to that market in 2003.  Starting in 2005, he decided to start writing public articles about the macroeconomic issues he believed would impact the United States, and the world, for many years to come.  Mr. Galakoutis is regularly published on financial sites such as Safehaven, FinancialSense, Kitco, Gold-Eagle and others.  He resides in Westport, Connecticut.
