E.J. Smith is Founder of YourSurvivalGuy.com, Managing Director at
Richard C. Young & Co., Ltd., a Managing Editor of
Richardcyoung.com, and Editor-in-Chief of
Youngresearch.com. His focus at all times is on preparing clients and readers for “
Times Like These.” E.J. graduated from Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, with a B.S. in finance and investments. In 1995, E.J. began his investment career at Fidelity Investments in Boston before joining Richard C. Young & Co., Ltd. in 1998. E.J. has trained at Sig Sauer Academy in Epping, NH. His first drum set was a 5-piece Slingerland with Zildjians. He grew-up worshiping Neil Peart
(RIP) of the band Rush, and loves the song Tom Sawyer—the name of his family’s boat, a Grady-White Canyon 306. He grew up in Mattapoisett, MA, an idyllic small town on the water near Cape Cod. He spends time in Newport, RI and Bartlett, NH—both as far away from Wall Street as one could mentally get. The
Newport office is
on a quiet, tree lined street not far from the harbor and the log cabin in Bartlett, NH, the “Live Free or Die” state, sits on the edge of the
White Mountain National Forest. He enjoys spending time in Key West (
RIP JB) and
Paris.

My October Rage Gauge is in and it seems like the frogs in the pot have no idea what’s going on around them. When someone tells me they can handle a 20 percent hit because they’ve “made” so much money in this market, I think to myself, “they haven’t done the math on a 100 percent hit.” Another month has passed and more records have been broken. Now would be a good time to think about protecting your portfolio. You never know when the big hit is going to come.
