While at Forbes, he exposed the existence of a secret uranium cartel that fixed prices, and the story led to a successful antitrust suit against the cartel. Dizard has also acted as an advisor to several large individual investors. Namely, Frank Zarb, the head of Lazars Freres' International Department to whom he brought the "Giscard arbitrage" trade in a French government gold backed bond that was described in fictional form in Tom Wolfe's "The Bonfire of the Vanities"; and for the Mocatta Corporation, a division of the oldest gold trading firm. He often appears on CNBC, Fox News, and CBC. He lectures regularly to financial and energy groups on market issues such as the prospects for various currencies and the restructuring of the electricity grid.
Dizard has written about the economics and finance of gold for over two decades for Fortune, Corporate Finance Magazine, the New York Post,National Review and the Financial Times, usually to debunk "goldbug" claims and conspiracy theories. He is now bullish on gold.
