PART 1 – Jamie McIntyre: The Man Who Called Gold, Bitcoin, Property—and Now the Exodus from the West
By Jamie Mcintyre
Jamie McIntyre, founder of the Australian National Review, self-made millionaire, and founder of LUX Property Group, says he does not give financial advice. What he does do, however, is publicly share his
views on major financial trends, and he has done so consistently for more than 25 years.
Supporters say that record speaks for itself.
Over two and a half decades, McIntyre has built a reputation for making bold macroeconomic calls well before they became mainstream. Those who have followed his commentary closely believe his investor clients and followers have generated billions by acting early on the themes he identified. Some estimate that figure at more than $10 billion in combined wealth creation.
Whether one agrees with all of his views or not, few would deny that many of his major calls were made well ahead of the crowd.
In the late 1990s, McIntyre urged people to start buying gold when it was trading around US$300 an ounce. At the time, gold was hardly fashionable. Yet over the years it surged dramatically, vindicating those who saw precious metals as protection against fiat currency debasement and financial instability.
He also took a strong position on agricultural land in Australia, influenced in part by the famous Jim Rogers line that one day it would be farmers driving Lamborghinis, not stockbrokers. McIntyre believed productive land would become increasingly valuable in a world facing inflation, food insecurity, and growing pressure on traditional financial systems.
For years he consistently told Australians to buy investment real estate, arguing that property would continue to double roughly every seven to ten years. That long-held view became a core pillar of wealth-building thinking for many Australians. His view was simple: two investment properties, held long enough, could make the average person a millionaire.
