I used to be a much more flexible investor than I am nowadays.I would invest in anything as long as I thought it was undervalued. I cared more about my so-called "margin of safety" versus the quality of the business. If I could buy assets for 50% less than what I thought they were worth, I was all over it.But after some lackluster results, I changed my habits. I now focus on the best companies I c...Read More
In a well-diversified portfolio, investors should hold some gold stocks, as these stocks act as a buffer with little correlation to the rest of the market. They rally when the U.S. dollar weakens, when there is a lot of uncertainty in the market, and when investors are looking for a "safe haven" in their portfolios.Strong U.S. economic data, a strong US dollar, and a return of investor optimism ha...Read More

Many pundits believe that it has once again entered a bull market and could rise to US$1,350 per ounce or even higher. That positive outlook will b...Read More

Base metal futures were higher in Asian trade, as was iron ore as Vale SA warned a further 30 million tonnes of production would be impacted after a Brazil court ordered the suspension of eight tailings dams in the wake of the deadly Brumadinho disaster late last month.

I just got back from a trip to Texas. Here is a picture of the Permian Basin from the air:When I first saw it, I didn't know what it was. Not farms, not houses. Just empty dirt lots lined up like track homes. After some research, I discovered that those squares are DUCs: drilled but uncompleted wells. I find it absolutely amazing. What it means is that the United States has more oil and gas than...Read More

No one seems to have noticed, leaving gold extremely cheap. - Alasdair Macleod, "Ten Factors To Look For In Gold I...Read More
Something big is happening in the gold market right now, and nowhere is that more apparent than in central banks of emerging economies.

Not only is this a remarkable 74 percent change from 2017, but...Read More
