World gold production dropped by 5.4% in 2020 according to preliminary estimates released by GlobalData last week. Historically, mine production has generally increased every year since the 1970s. The pandemic notwithstanding, the biggest problem facing miners is that the easy to ...
The fate of the stock market and the outlook for gold are more intertwined than most realize. A bear market in U.S. equities seems inevitable within a short enough time frame to warrant acquiring meaningful exposure to uncorrelated assets such as gold. Gold mining stocks possess v...
I believe that there's a relatively high probability of another big move in the precious metals sector is coming. Without question, both metals could, and probably will, move much higher before some type of reset occurs that reincorporates gold and silver in the global monetary system...

Gold plays a critical role in preserving wealth and should be considered in a context beyond a securities portfolio. The long-history of gold and correlation to real interest rates make gold a sound proxy on the price of money. Gold also serves a separate role in a diversified sec...
The differences between gold and bitcoin are far more significant than any similarities. Bitcoin 'bubbled' with the stock market in 2020. We still could be a few months away from a major top for speculation in general, so at this time, it is still better to be 'long' consumable co...
