In this audio version of one of Chris' most popular (and at times, caustic) Special Reports in recent years, he again holds forth on how investors MUST approach the precious metals sector; one that has left even more damage in investors' portfolios over the years than profits.

Once again in 2024, he begins, gold had a great year, with silver a respectably close second. Yet most investors in precious metals continued to underperform even the metals.

Going forward, Chris says, the sector--including precious metals-related equities--will have better days. BUT, he points out, investors must look at gold, silver and related investments clinically: WITHOUT preconceived notions and the veritable blind "religion" some preach, and with sound advice from legitimate experts on the space (as opposed to the carnival huckster / Pied Piper types incessantly trying to "scare" you into certain kinds of investments based on warnings of "Biden Bucks", dollar collapse and similar nonsense.)

To help that cause, Chris gives a history lesson on gold and its behavior in markets since it became a free trading asset back in 1971. During this last half century-plus, gold has had a few different "eras":

-- The initial burst higher in the 1970's thanks to the Nixon-Burns tag-team dollar debauching. This ultimately saw gold soar from $35/ounce to a brief, manic peak around $875/ounce. 

-- Two decades "in the wilderness" during the 1980's-1990's, during which at times gold's price was indeed "managed" in much the same manner as the DeBeers cartel managed diamond prices.

-- The pivotal event in 1999 that changed the attitude of markets once more in favor of gold, and set the stage for the more than 10-fold price rise for the yellow metal since.

-- The fickle nature of investors to the precious metals space, an important element to understand especially when it concerns the underperformance of mining-related equities versus the metals prices themselves of recent years.

-- WHAT factors, according to Chris, will bring generalist investors back to precious metals, a la the huge moves that peaked way back in 2011 for precious metals-related equities particularly. 

Chris also takes a quick lap through the main ways investors can and SHOULD invest in precious metals...and importantly gives some warnings of the kinds of SCAMS to AVOID:

-- How to buy (and not) physical gold and silver.

-- Why you should avoid THE BIGGEST SCAM OUT THERE: "Gold IRA's" 

--- ETFs as proxies for either gold or exploration/mining equities

-- How to research individual companies TODAY; and identify ones that GENERALIST investors will warm up to!

Blood In The Streets: Bob Moriarty's Full Case For Platinum, Silver, & Deeply Discounted Junior Miners

Legendary contrarian Bob Moriarty (321gold.com) joins Maurice Jackson of Proven and Probable for a powerful, no-holds-barred discussion on the current state of the resource markets. According to Moriarty, we are witnessing a historic disconnect: while paper assets are inflated, junior mining stocks are at a "huge discount," presenting a generational buying opportunity.

In this must-watch interview, Bob Moriarty reveals:

The Junior Mining Opportunity: Why the current market sentiment indicates that junior resource stocks are "absurdly cheap" and offer 50x potential returns for patient, contrarian investors.

The Silver Setup: Why silver is arguably the most hated (and therefore most promising) asset right now, and how its historical price action signals an imminent, massive breakout.

Platinum's Time to Shine: The compelling case for platinum, which remains at a historical low relative to both gold and palladium, making it one of the best precious metal buys on the market today.

The Contrarian's Edge: How to ignore the noise and follow sentiment indicators to determine when to buy "blood in the streets" and when to lock in profits.
