On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Larry Lepard to the show. Larry – who boasts more than four decades of investing experience – is the co-founder and managing partner of Equity Management Associates. He's also the author of the recently released book The Big Print: What Happened to America and How Sound Money Will Fix It. Larry kicks off the show by diving deep into gold – why its price has been soaring recently, where its price could go next, and why a return to the gold standard after "50 years of mismanagement" would be a long-term positive. This leads to a conversation about President Donald Trump's tariffs and their potential unintended consequences, Elon Musk's disappointing Department of Government Efficiency, Trump's run-in with the bond vigilantes, and what could break Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's stubbornness to lower rates. (1:47) Next, Larry talks about the psychological difficulty of bottom-fishing in the stock market and how fixing the monetary system could solve many societal problems that disproportionately affect the poor. He explains how exactly the U.S.'s fiat currency has "torn up the social fabric" and favors those who are already wealthy. Plus, Larry gives a multistep solution for how the system can be fixed so it's more fair, and he debunks the popular myth told by certain economists that a return to the gold standard wouldn't work. (25:18) Finally, Larry predicts currency failure within the next 10 years that will lead the U.S. to return to sound money. In the meantime, he advises investors to put their money in assets that the government can't print – gold, silver, bitcoin, and real estate. He says that bondholders are "the suckers at the table" thanks to inflation. And Larry closes things out by discussing the importance of studying history and longer-term cycles, the opportunity today in gold-mining stocks, and why he believes all investors should hold some bitcoin.

“Gold is a seat in a lifeboat,” says Lawrence Lepard, Managing Partner at Equity Management Associates and author of The Big Print: What Happened to America and How Sound Money Will Fix It. In our recent interview, he tells Daniela Cambone that compared to Bernanke's era, the scale and speed of current monetary intervention have significantly increased. He estimates the next wave could involve $7–10 trillion."Each time it gets bigger. Bernanke printed two, three trillion in three, four years. Powell printed five trillion in 18 months. This one, I think, will be between seven and ten."The solution to the currency crisis, he suggests, could involve a return to a gold-backed currency. “What I'm advocating for is a one-time reset as opposed to another 10 or 15 years of pain... a sound money future would clearly be better.”He further predicts that this reset could drive gold prices significantly higher, suggesting it could “easily hit 5,000, maybe this year.”

My guest today is Lawrence Lepard, the founder and managing partner of Equity Management Associates, a fierce advocate for sound money and a respected voice in the world of gold, Bitcoin, and monetary policy.

His latest book, The Big Print, breaks down the coming monetary crisis in a way that anyone—whether a seasoned investor or an everyday person—can understand. In this conversation, Larry shares insights into how the current financial system is reaching a breaking point, why central banks are quietly hoarding gold, and why Bitcoin is the most important technological breakthrough in monetary history.

Tom welcomes back Lawrence Lepard from Equity Management Associates to discuss his new book, "The Big Print: What Happened to America and How Sound Money Will Fix It." Lepard explains that the book aims to simplify complex monetary issues for the average reader, highlighting how the broken monetary system has fueled inflation, wealth inequality, and economic dysfunction. Lepard emphasized that the U.S. monetary system began deteriorating with Nixon's abandonment of the gold standard in 1971, leading to persistent inflation and debt accumulation. He argued that sound money — gold, silver, and Bitcoin — is essential to fix these issues. Gold provides stability, while Bitcoin offers a digital solution to scarcity and divisibility, though it is still volatile. The interview explored how inflation affects everyday life, with Lepard noting that the government's reported inflation rates often underestimate real costs. He criticized the Federal Reserve for prioritizing debt servicing over economic fairness, leading to a cycle of printing money that disproportionately harms wage earners. Lepard also discussed the political challenges in transitioning to sound money, suggesting that widespread public awareness and grassroots support are needed to push for systemic change. He warned against complacency, noting that the U.S. is on a trajectory toward a debt crisis unless decisive action is taken. The conversation concluded with Lepard encouraging listeners to engage with his book to better understand these issues and advocating for a future where sound money restores economic health and fairness.

Tom welcomes back Lawrence Lepard from Equity Management Associates to discuss the current economic macro picture, including rising inflation and potential economic depression despite subdued market crashes. Lepard expresses skepticism towards government statistics suggesting a lack of real growth since 2008 and warns of risks for investors holding traditional assets due to high stock valuations caused by the Federal Reserve's policies like zero interest rates and quantitative easing. The conversation then shifts into the importance of liquidity in driving the stock market and the potential implications for the bond market and US federal government spending. Lepard expresses concern about a potential debt doom loop as rising interest rates could result in yield curve control, leading to inflation. They also discuss Trump's economic policies and the potential impact on the U.S. dollar. They further debate the current state of inflation and its future developments, with Lepard predicting another wave due to increased government spending. Larry discusses the underperformance of miners in both gold and Bitcoin markets and the shift towards gold as a reserve currency due to mistrust in the US dollar's stability. Lastly, Lawrence discusses his upcoming book on monetary issues and the importance of sound money.

Lawrence Lepard, Managing Partner, Equity Management Associates, joins me to discuss the national debt crisis, inflation, possible price suppression of hard assets and the contrasting roles of gold and Bitcoin as sound money. Summary In this conversation, Stephan Livera and Lawrence Lepard delve into pressing economic issues, including the national debt crisis, inflation, and the contrasting roles of gold and Bitcoin as sound money. They discuss the implications of the upcoming US election on economic policies and the market dynamics of gold and Bitcoin. The conversation also touches on the potential for economic suppression and the future predictions for both gold and Bitcoin in light of current financial trends. Takeaways The national debt is accelerating and poses a significant risk. Inflation is likely to rise again due to government policies. Gold is currently viewed as a safe haven, but Bitcoin is seen as the future of sound money. The upcoming US election could have major implications for Bitcoin and economic policies. Gold ETFs have been shrinking while Bitcoin ETFs are growing, indicating a generational shift in investment. The suppression of gold prices has been a long-standing issue, but Bitcoin may not face the same challenges yet. Future predictions suggest Bitcoin could reach $300,000 and gold could hit $5,000 in the next economic crisis. The need for sound money is becoming increasingly urgent as the dollar loses value. A monetary reset may be necessary to address the current economic challenges. Investors should consider diversifying into sound money assets like Bitcoin and gold.

Tom welcomes back Lawrence Lepard from EMA2 Equity Management Associates for a discussion on economic trends and the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. Lepard expresses concerns about the Fed's potential acceptance of a higher inflation rate due to rising U.S. interest expenses and a large budget deficit. Jerome Powell, the Fed chairman, is also contemplating rate cuts to support employment levels and government finances amidst ongoing inflation and uncertainty in unemployment data and Gross Domestic Product growth figures. Larry and Tom contemplate potential rate cut timelines, the possibility of a shift in Fed tactics, concerns over financial crises, and the potential impact of political events on the Fed's decisions before the upcoming election. The conversation shifts overseas to Japan's economic situation, with Lepard predicting that gold will reach new all-time highs due to Japan's reliance on imported oil and its shift towards purchasing oil in yen instead of dollars, potentially leading to a surge in gold demand and higher prices. Larry anticipates a decade-long bull market for gold and silver stocks as they are expected to double or even triple in value within the next 12 to 18 months due to higher metal prices, increased earnings, and potential dividends or stock buybacks. Larry expresses his investment preferences, focusing on companies that pay dividends or hold precious metals as treasury assets. He also emphasizes the importance of responsible capital management following lessons learned from previous cycles. Despite concerns about mergers and acquisitions for large companies during this period, Larry suggests they might pay higher prices later in the bull market instead of seizing opportunities at low prices now. Larry discusses his current projects, which include completing a quarterly report and writing a white paper on why sound money is crucial to solving the world's problems. He proposes making gold, silver, and Bitcoin legal tender, abolishing the Federal Reserve, letting banks fail if they engage in risky practices, and eliminating the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as steps towards progressing towards sounder money.

Tom welcomes back Lawrence Lepard of Equity Management Associates back to the show. Larry discuses the current inflation outlook and compares it to the 1970s, noting the current driving forces are different but "rhyme" with the past. Expectations play a significant role in inflation, with people believing prices will rise. The International Swaps and Deals Association (ISDA) has written to the Federal Reserve Board suggesting that the market for treasuries is becoming less liquid, which could be problematic. The ISDA recommends eliminating the Supplementary Leverage Ratio (SLR), allowing banks to buy more treasuries without repercussions and potentially monetizing federal deficits. This move would increase money supply growth, currency dilution, and demand for sound money investments. Mr. Lepard believes that the US federal budget deficit will continue to rise, with the current administration accelerating fiscal irresponsibility. He predicts that sound money assets like gold and Bitcoin will increase in value, with gold potentially reaching $3,000 per ounce by year-end. The Federal Reserve is balancing three mandates, but its emergency powers have led to increased leverage and complex trades. The federal government's debt is not sustainable, and when investors take notice, it could lead to a sharp repricing of bonds with significant consequences for the economy. Lepard is optimistic about a return to sound money standards post-hyperinflation but sees no signs of this happening soon. He believes that gold can go as high as $10,000 per ounce and encourages investors to allocate a good portion of their assets in things the government can't print. The current market conditions provide an opportunity for investors to consider selling stocks and buying gold as protection against economic uncertainty and stock market volatility.

I'm happy to introduce Lawrence Lepard, gold stock fund manager and Investment Manager at Equity Management Associates, LLC. I'm sure a lot of you have followed Lawrence for years through his commentary on the precious metals sector and the metals stocks. I will be getting Lawrence on the show more regularly so please keep in touch and let us know what topics and companies you would like us to discuss. In this interview we start with macro comments on the gold price disconnect from the gold stocks. We also discuss what investors are looking ahead to that is holding back the gold price from all time highs, and how this differs from his projections for the precious metal and economy. Since Lawrence is very active in the stocks, we spend time asking him what type of gold stocks he likes and which he is avoiding, mostly focused on producing companies.

Tom welcomes back Lawrence Lepard of Equity Management Associates to the show. Lawrence expresses skepticism towards the reported 4.9% annualized GDP growth in the US, believing it to be falsely inflated due to the exclusion of essential goods like gasoline and food. He also discusses the government's history of manipulating inflation and employment reports, urging investors to take all government information with a grain of salt and only consider what is true when making investment decisions. Lepard touches upon the current state of the media and the role of the internet in disintermediating large organizations like CNN and Fox News. They agree that the internet allows for more direct access to truth, but caution against the abundance of "noise" on the web. The conversation shifts to the financial markets, with Lepard stating that they are currently broken. He points to the recent failure of Silicon Valley Bank as evidence, and believes that the government's response of printing more money is only hiding the truth. He predicts that inflation will be a major problem in the next 10 years and advises investors to consider this dynamic when making investment decisions. Lepard discusses the possibility of a sovereign currency crisis in the US, similar to those seen in third world countries. They point to the high interest expense of one trillion dollars a year due to the deficit, and estimate that this will only increase in the next few years. They also discuss the fragility of the world's economy, bank losses, and the potential consequences of excessive borrowing. The conversation then turns to the role of gold in protecting against inflation and the current divergence between gold mining stocks and the price of gold. Lepard predicts that gold will rise to $3000 in the next five years and that silver will follow suit. He also discusses the potential for silver to see a 100% increase in value in the next 18 months. Lepard concludes the interview by sharing his dislike for central banks and discussing his website and fund, which manages investments in gold mining stocks. He notes that while his slots are currently open, they may fill up quickly when the bull market returns.

According to Lawrence, investment communities and hedge funds have yet to enter the gold market, with stocks in a downwave and the price of gold breaking its 1365 ceiling. Larry suggests investors should transition to commodities such as gold, silver, copper, oil and lithium to protect themselves against inflation and circumstances of economic downturn.

Dan talks with Lawrence Lepard founder of Equity Management Associates, LLC (EMA) - a Boston money management firm. Larry is a former pilot and Harvard business school graduate.
Gold stock fund manager and Austrian economist Larry Lepard shared, “It's tough. The gold stock climate is as bad as I've seen it. But I ain't selling. I ain't selling. In fact, I'm moving around and selling some of the things that have not been hit quite as bad to buy some of the real bargains that I see. The bargains out here are just stunning. It does not feel good to buy in these kinds of conditions. But history says that if you do buy in these kinds of conditions, you can be very well rewarded for it.” Lawrence Lepard runs Equity Management Associates, LLC, an investment partnership which has focused on investing in precious metals since 2008. Prior to EMA, Mr. Lepard spent 25 years as a professional investor and venture capitalist. From 1991 to 2004 he was one of two Managing Partners at Geocapital Partners in New Jersey which managed six venture capital partnerships, the last of which was $250 million. Geocapital was very active in technology, software and computer investing and invested heavily in the internet starting in 1993. Geocapital was the lead investor in Netcom, Inc., the first internet service provider to complete an IPO in 1996. Prior to Geocapital Mr. Lepard spent 7 years as a General Partner at Summit Partners in Boston, MA. Summit is a large venture capital and private equity firm. He was employee number 4, joining 1 year after Summit was launched.

Tom welcomes Lawrence Lepard from Equity Management Associates back to the show. Lawrence discusses the rivets on the global economy that are continuing to snap. We have had a number of bank failures in a matter of weeks, part of a larger pattern going back years. We are seeing large commercial mortgage failures and companies walking away, and Lawrence believes more pain is yet to come in the banking sector, with one to two trillion in write downs. The Fed is likely to intervene once again, and something is likely to break soon. Lawrence discusses the U.S. debt maturities, and how the U.S. government soon will have to pay over a trillion to meet its obligations annually. The math arguably doesn't work, and the Fed is trapped. The market will force them to pivot at some point, and they will do whatever they can to hold the system together. He explains why it is important to hold money that can't be printed, like gold, silver, or bitcoin. He advises to take the long view and recognize why you are holding it, as in the context of saving your wealth, since things could break quickly. Gold, silver, and Bitcoin could move rapidly in a crisis. Some of the problems could be improved by increasing the money supply. But in a debt based system, there is no going back. Consumers are feeling the pinch and borrowing more from credit isn't a long-term solution. He discusses which age groups are most at risk in a downturn. Boomers hold significant amounts of real estate and equities, and when they realize that inflation is staying, where will they move their capital to preserve wealth? The world has not yet adapted to the new paradigm of high inflation. There is a multi-generational buying opportunity in the gold stocks, and many holders are tired of the market. If you are a contrarian, you realize people will wake up and these stocks will take off. We must understand the inevitable nature of what is coming. When the system comes unglued, there may be no time to get out. Silicon Valley Bank collapsed in hours, and it is entirely possible things could unravel rapidly and at scale.

Bitcoin bull Larry Lepard, founder and managing partner at Equity Management Associates, says it's now obvious that the US Dollar will continue its decades-long spiral of depreciation, to the benefit of hard assets like Bitcoin. "As more and more people come to realize they should save in this form of money, the Bitcoin price is going to go much higher in my opinion. I think we'll hit $100,000. Then I think we'll hit $1 million, and I think we'll ultimately hit $10,000,000 a coin. I'm sure my grand kids will be shocked at people who own one coin. I mean being a whole coiner will be a big deal.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The founder of a Boston-based investment management firm says the US dollar is heading toward total collapse – an event that will fuel a massive rise in the price of Bitcoin. Larry Lepard, founder and managing partner at Equity Management Associates, says it's now obvious that the dollar will continue its decades-long spiral of depreciation, to the benefit of hard assets like the king crypto (BTC). Lepard says Bitcoin's capped supply of 21 million coins gives it a key advantage over gold, and will play a central role in its long-term parabolic price rise to $10 million per BTC.

Tom welcomes back Lawrence Lepard from Equity Management Associates. Lawrence discusses the changing investing landscape as it relates to the Federal Reserve's continuing debasement of the currency and its three mandates of inflation, labor, and financial stability. He notes that the debt situation is becoming increasingly dire, with the interest on the debt doubling in just a few years, the deficit now over two trillion, with tax receipts declining. This debt doom loop will eventually unravel, leading to massive contagion and a complete collapse of financial stability. He believes that hard money advocates are in the minority, but that if the government were to take responsibility, the current paradigm could be changed. Unfortunately, he notes that the level of understanding required to solve our economic problems is still lacking at a governmental level, and it will take a lot more suffering before awareness is achieved. Inflation is likely to become the number one political issue, at which point sound money advocates may be given a chance to present their solutions. But at present, the Fed is continuing to print more money in an attempt to solve the problems, which will only lead to a further devaluation of bonds and stocks.

#LawrenceLepard: #Gold, #Silver Rally on Lack of Faith in Fed The #FederalReserve is getting ready for its latest policy statement on Wednesday, with another rate hike on the way, and only the size and commentary still in question. And as the Fed has been hiking rates throughout the year, we've seen weakness in the stock, bond, and real estate markets, amidst a growing belief that we are either in a recession, or headed towards one in 2023. Which has led to a late year rally in gold and silver, as the market continues to suspect that when the economy weakens enough, the Fed will again resort to more quantitative easing money printing programs. So today on the show, fund manager Lawrence Lepard talks about the economic situation that the Fed and the economy are facing, how he sees it playing out in the years to come, and whether this is eventually headed towards some sort of financial reset. He also talks about what he feel will be the drivers that will eventually force a larger percentage of the investing world to look at gold and silver as a means of protecting themselves against continued debasement of the currencies.

Tom welcomes Lawrence Lepard back once again to discuss the markets, mining industry, and the fragile state of the economy. Lawrence discusses the supposed massive discovery of gold in Uganda and why it's hype and absurd. It would have to be about a hundred times the richest mines in production today. A high dollar encourages countries to find alternatives. We're living in a world of monetary chaos and enormous debt structures. ZIRP and NIRP have created enormous financial distortions which are only getting worse. We never imagined that money could get this cheap and markets could get so overvalued. The bubble has found a pin and everything is down twenty plus percent. If they don't pivot, we're looking at a major recession or depression because a Ponzi can't be tapered. Markets are going to go to zero if Powell maintains his approach. We've seen 31 trillion in valuation loss worldwide in equities. We've wiped out one and half times total annual U.S. GDP in paper wealth in six months. Gold in comparison is only down six or seven percent over the past year. Gold is hanging in and is likely finding a base for the next leg up. Gold and Bitcoin are non-state money alternatives. The Fed is trying to make the dollar more sound, and the next act this fall will see another big leg down in equities. Housing will continue to decline as mortgage rates climb. This fall, they will realize the economy is crumbling, and they will pivot. Then we will see gold and Bitcoin will go to the moon. They have to pivot, the only question is when. The old world is gone, and we're not going back to two percent inflation. We may have reached peak house inflation as that market had gone parabolic. This environment will be very choppy. Those that control the economy, default policy will be to debase the currency. We've had certain sector almost express hyperinflation over short time-frames. High inflation leads to hyperinflation. We need nuclear power and a more sober approach to energy investment globally. The Fed creates bubbles that naturally lead to busts, which can devastate the average person who is trying to make correct choices.

Lepard is the Founder and Managing Partner of Equity Management Associates. He has spent his entire 38-year career as an investor, principally focusing on venture capital opportunities.

Tom welcomes Lawrence Lepard from Equity Management Associates to discuss the many things that have changed in just the past few months. The actions of Russia will likely begin driving the price of gold. We've reached a tipping point not unlike when Charles de Gaulle began demanding gold in the 70s. Putin is hitting back economically. The seizure (theft) of reserves was a clear warning to many countries. The Ukraine/Russia conflict is equally an economic one. Lawrence discusses the low valuations in commodities and the lack of capital investment in resources. Inflation appears to now be the norm. The dollar could go higher because it's still the best of the worst. The trend in purchasing power will continue to decline. He says, "Their drunk and they can't stop drinking." Europe needs Russia's oil and Putin is forcing a seat at the table. The West has ignored and treated Russia like a second-class citizen for too long. The arrogance of those in power is stunning, and Putin is not stupid. They are not used to someone standing up to them and winning. We are on the verge of another move higher in gold. Margins and multiples in equities are going to come down and holding general stocks now makes no sense. "A huge trend change is coming… and you want to be on the right side of this. If you're not investing in the right areas it's going to be a very painful experience." Front running may be part of the equation for inflation. Wages aren't likely to keep up, and it's difficult to assess all the various parts of the inflation picture. It takes time to solve supply chain issues and find good workarounds. He states, "A capital system based on the correct allocation of capital will make more stuff for less. We need productivity." A crackup boom is a possibility and so is hyperinflation. A crackup boom occurs when the majority realize that government will never stop printing. People change their spending habits and will buy stuff they don't need to sell it later. Another sign is a stock market that continues shooting up relentlessly. Lawrence expects the problems we see with nickel markets to also occur with other commodities. The LME changed the rules, breaking prior trades, and screwed a bunch of traders. Lastly, he discusses how miners remain an excellent buying opportunity. They will provide multiples in leverage over the performance of the metal.

"2021 Money is unhinged... sound money is a moral issue..." "The central banks are trapped, they've taken us down a monetary Cul-de-sac. They are damned if they do, damned if they don't. Higher interest rates would take us to something like the great depression." " I can't tell you how much this (btc) reminds me of the internet. We are at the 10%, 'that's obvious' tipping point. Someday someone will say holy sh*t you bought a coin for 60,000... you were in early!" "I was in 2nd grade when Kennedy was assassinated... the invention of Bitcoin is a true inflection point in history! "I don't think we can know the right price for anything... we are really in a very chaotic monetary period." "House prices are up 20%, numbers not achieved pre 2007/8 housing crash. We've flipped the deflationary trend, and there's no going back." Your host, Thor Holt (founder at energyleaders.io ) talk inflation, car and Oil price predictions, Larry's drunken Scottish road trips, suicidal sheep and reindeer genocide. They share 1970's inflationary lessons, the probability of central bank digital currencies, and discuss how Bitcoin is the realisation of the hippie anti war movement, but with economic rigor built in!

Tom welcomes Lawrence Lepard back to discuss the markets, gold, and the fragile state of the economy. Lawrence discusses the markets and how they are slowing. We may be near a market top. Last year we had explosive growth in GDP but that has waned in recent months. We printed trillions to get us through the Covid period and now benefits are running out. The economy is starting to choke and the key question is will they do further stimulus or will the markets be allowed to roll over. The debt-ceiling debate is just a pretense to show their 'responsible'. The big elephant is inflation which is breaking out everywhere. Housing markets are moving higher and very few assets are behaving normally. In the past couple of years, we've printed forty percent of the money in existence. Even the Democrats are reconsidering spending but if they don't spend markets will cool and pull back. In the end, they will likely have no choice but to print more and send out stimulus checks. The Fed is very good at playing the taper game and they're not stupid. They will try like hell to keep things going while pretending to be responsible. There is a good chance they will have to stop the taper to keep the markets happy. The reality is you can't taper a Ponzi scheme. No growth and higher prices is the definition of stagflation. Back in the 70s prices kept rising repeatedly. Gold and oil were the outperformers for ten years while bonds were killed and stocks went nowhere. Today's markets feel similar. He believes the producers are the place to be in mining stocks. They are not sexy but they have a good revenue stream and are currently overlooked. He discusses the benefits of bitcoin and why like gold it represents a great sound money bet. Inflation will drive the trade out of fiat assets and into alternatives. This is the end game for fiat.

Tom welcomes Lawrence Lepard of Equity Management Associates back to the show. Lawrence discusses the collapsing global debt bubble and what it would take to avoid a a major economic collapse. The system would need to generate enough inflation to grow GDP, but that would likely require further debt. The US had similar debt levels after World War II, and they successfully worked through the problem. There was a lot of inflation, and bondholders took big hits. They are likely to do something similar this time, but many things are different today, including the mindset of the population. Lawrence discusses how free markets should operate and how price fixing distorts markets. Central banks have created enormous debt structures by holding interest rates low, which generated excess capacity. Money grows along with debt, and forty percent of all money has been created in the past year. The entire commodity complex is moving up rapidly and likely prices on everything. Businesses are having a hard time filling low-end jobs because of various stimulus programs and unemployment benefits. We see shrink-inflation with goods becoming smaller or reduced quality. We are well above the government's official inflation statistics and likely heading into a time not unlike the old Russian saying of "They pretend to pay us and we pretend to work." He says, "The underlying problem in the world today is that the money is no good as politicans have taken advantage." Lawrence explains how money velocity drives inflation and velocity has been plummeting. When people realize inflation is running hot, they will want to get rid of dollars, and velocity will pick up. We need sound money. The solution is that simple. Today, Gold markets are not free markets, and many banks have admitted to manipulation. Governments have figured how to suppress gold markets over the past forty years, and today, there are multiple paper claims for every ounce. Gold should be up at $3000 or $4000. Central Bankers are spreading uncertainty regarding Bitcoin, and he believes they are beginning to panic. Investors should start by having a considerable position in physical metal, and then they can look at speculating in mining equities. These companies come with significant risk but also excellent potential for reward. Lawrence discusses what to look for in the mining sector and mentions some specific companies that interest him.
