Bob Hoye
With a degree in geophysics and a number of fascinating summers in mining exploration, one winter in "the bush" quickly led Bob into the financial markets. This included experience on the trading desk and in the research department of a large investment dealer, which led to institutional stock and bond sales.
Bob's review of financial history provided the forecasting models designed to anticipate significant trend reversals in the sometimes alarming volatility typical of the transition from rampant speculation in tangible assets to fabulous speculation in financial assets.
In anticipation of the latter opportunity, a monthly publication for financial institutions was started in January 1982. This competently covered the stock market, the yield curve, credit spreads as well as metal and energy prices.
In 1998 the Institutional Advisors website was started as a forum for unique and reliable financial research. Bob, as editor and chief financial strategist, writes the weekly overview - PIVOTAL EVENTS as well as historical essays and presentations that inform the work. Contact Bob.

Bob has long held a fascination for sports cars, particularly Alfa Romeos. Beginning just after World War I the company designed and built cars to win the most trying road races in history – the Targa Florio on the back roads of Sicily and the Mille Miglia, which was a thousand-mile race from Brescia to Rome and back.
The first “Mille” event was run in 1927 and from 1928 to 1947 Alfas virtually dominated when in 1948 the mantle was passed on to Ferrari. Ferrari started with Alfa Romeo as a driver in 1920 and in the 1930s ran the company's racing team. After World War II Ferrari started on his own with some of Alfa's engineers.
In the immediate post-war period Alfa decided to supplement the building of high-priced cars with the introduction of the Giulietta series with a coupe, open sports car and small sedan – all based upon the same platform and drive train. Designed by one of the most successful racing teams in history the series were intended to be relatively high- production cars that would win the 1300 cc class. They, and particularly the Sprint coupe, did win class and on the endurance races even winning a couple of classes above.
Coachmaker, Bertone designed and built the Sprint with production beginning in late 1954 and with minor variations continuing until 1964. In rallying and road racing the Giulietta series were consistently successful. The design was the first modern sports car with a stiff chassis and a compliant, but well controlled suspension. It was intended for fast travel over any kind and condition of road.
In the 1956 Mille Miglia the Sprint won its 1300 class and right up to and beating the 2-liter Maserati. The only cars ahead were 4.5 L Ferraris and 3.0 L Mercedes and a prototype OSCA.
Over many years, Bob had enjoyed Alfa Romeos as daily drivers as well as for a brief season of SCCA competition. Five years ago Bob returned to the mark with a 1962 Giulietta Spider, which is the open sports car. In Graphite Grey and Red interior it was in very good condition and Bob had the engine and drive train up-graded.
On the quip that it would be nice to have a coupe on the colder days, Bob started looking for a Sprint in early 2009 and most of the good ones on offer were Red. In September one dismantled for restoration was found in San Jose and it was shipped to Auto Restore in Vancouver. Work began in late October. Continue reading and view updated photos...
