Without prompting, the majority of experts recently appearing on this channel have agreed that gold is looking well-positioned to move higher in price, potentially substantially higher, this year. And that's on top of gold's strong start to the year. It's up nearly 11% since early January and is currently not far from its all-time high. So it's time to take an intentionally close look at the gold market and its prospects. To provide that for us, we're fortunate to speak today with Joe Cavatoni, CEO of the World Gold Council's American operations.

There's no doubt that it's a very challenging time right now for the average investor. Above and beyond the recent economic impacts of COVID, the new era of record low interest rates, runaway US debt and US deficits, and trillions of dollars in monetary and fiscal stimulus stimulus has changed the rules of investing by dangerously distorting the Dow index, the S&P 500, and nearly all other asset prices. Can prices keep rising, or is there a painful reckoning ahead? Let us help you prepare your portfolio just in case the future brings one or more of the following: inflation, deflation, a bull market, a bear market, a market correction, a stock market crash, a real estate bubble, a real estate crash, an economic boom, a recession, a depression, or another global financial crisis.

Tom welcomes Jeff Clark back to the show! Jeff is the Founder of GoldAdvisor.com and author of the new book "Paydirt." He started outlining the book during Covid, with the goal of making it entertaining and engaging, yet simple and straightforward. Sixteen other experts from the industry also contributed to the book. Jeff believes we are on the cusp of another bull market cycle, and mining is one of the few areas left with good return potential. When it enters the mania phase, he won't hesitate to sell, as it's important to lock in profits. He urges investors to not be afraid to sell miners, as they should be seen as girlfriends rather than wife material. Jeff then explains the Lassonde Curve and how it can help investors understand where a mining equity is during the lifecycle of a developing project. He also stresses the importance of discipline when positioning, recognizing red flags in miners, and taking advice from those in the industry. Talking Points From This Episode Learning how to pick good miners and why Jeff wrote "Paydirt".Why excellent opportunity remains in the mining sector.Important lessons from geologists and timing in the mining cycle.

His roots in the industry are deep, with an award-winning gold panner father and family-owned mining claims in California, Arizona, and Nevada. Jeff has just authored his new book "Paydirt!" which is available at thegoldadvisor.com. Jeff is an active investor and writer, and has previously served as senior editor for the renowned publication BIG GOLD, as well as Senior Precious Metals Analyst for Hard Assets Alliance and a Senior Editor for Casey Research. He is currently on the board at Strategic Wealth Preservation, a bullion storage facility in Grand Cayman, and provides analysis and market commentary for GoldSilver.com. Jeff is a regular conference speaker, including at Cambridge House and Sprott Resources events, the Silver Summit, and many others.

Tom welcomes back Jeff Clark of GoldSilver.com to the show. Jeff discusses his recent article on silver in which he compares silver to other asset classes' performance since 1980. Silver and sugar are the only ones that remain below their 1980 peak. Everything else today is overvalued and this will change when the mainstream returns to this market. He says, "Focus on what you can control." Jeff explains why the Hunt Brothers had a minimal effect on the silver market in the 80s. This was a time when everything was responding to monetary events as every asset was rising in price. Gold and silver are money because they hold their value for centuries. In contrast, just consider the loss of purchasing power of the dollar since the year 2000. Jeff estimates that the 1980 silver price adjusted for inflation should be in the $250 range. History shows that silver is often stagnant for two to three year periods but then the price rapidly spikes higher. We don't know precisely when but another spike is inevitable. Jeff prefers to have physical possession of metals since the possibility of a massive economic catastrophe will persist. It's best to avoid counterparty risks. Mining stocks are more of a leverage play on metals but one should be aware of the risks. Miners remain underappreciated and overlooked due to the prices of underlying metals. This is one area where there remains an excellent opportunity for investors. Most metal investors were skeptical of the transitory inflation narrative. Now the Fed has abandoned that theory and is anticipating more persistent inflation. There is also evidence that we could move into a deflationary or stagflationary environment for a time. When the next crisis hits gold will fulfill its primary function of preserving wealth. Jeff explains the importance of visiting mining sites and speaking directly with management. This can be very constructive for determining the quality of potential investments. Lastly, he provides some tips for evaluating drill results.

With a booming stock market and Bitcoin mania, it would be easy to overlook gold and silver as an investment strategy. But that's a risk we don't recommend you take. So, why is NOW a good time to buy precious metals? How much of your portfolio should you devote to gold and silver? And should you invest in physical bullion or ETFs? Precious metals expert Jeff Clark serves as Senior Analyst at Hard Assets Alliance, a platform that provides investors with a simple, low-cost way to buy and sell physical bullion.  On this episode of The Wiggin Sessions, Jeff joins me to discuss the impending economic crisis and explain why the stock market continues to go up while gold and silver remains weak—despite the chaos in the world at the moment.

Listen in for Jeff's thoughts on cryptocurrencies as a store of value and learn how to protect your money from economic uncertainty and invest in gold and silver through the HAA Metal Stream Program.  Key Takeaways   Why the stock market continues to go up while gold and silver remain weak (despite the chaos in the world at the moment) What investors need to know about the spikes in the precious metal markets over the last 50 years Jeff's prediction that the irresponsible behavior of central banks will trigger an economic crisis Why the only way to prepare for black swan events is to have meaningful exposure to gold and silver How owning physical bullion protects investors from counterparty risk  Jeff's take on cryptocurrencies as good speculation but not a stable store of value How institutional investors, central banks and family offices are taking positions in gold to hedge risk right now How institutional investment influences the gold market (i.e.: slow steady rise vs. spike in price) How much gold is ideal for an investment portfolio How high Jeff sees gold and silver prices rising in the short-term before a crisis hits How the Hard Assets Alliance Metal Stream Program makes it easy to accumulate gold and silver Where to go for Jeff's insights around the best mining stock picks Connect with Jeff Clark Hard Assets Alliance Jeff on Hard Assets Alliance Gold Silver Jeff on Twitter Connect with Addison Wiggin Consilience Financial Be sure to follow The Wiggin Sessions on your socials.

Tom welcomes a Jeff Clark back to the show. Jeff is Senior Precious Metals Analyst at GoldSilver.com. Jeff discusses the risk of a Biden presidency and the potential for a long slow decline in the U.S. Dollar. The primary reason is because of the monetary and fiscal stimulus being conducted by the Fed and treasury. The current proposal for the "Build Back Better Program" is 7 trillion, and the only way to get that is to print it. We can expect ongoing massive dilution of the U.S. currency. There has been and will continue to be a lot of deflation. He reviews the stagflationary period that occurred during the 1970s. Inflation can happen simultaneously with deflation. This year the U.S. hit the highest level of deficit spending in its history. All of this is supportive for gold. Jeff discusses why the new mine supply of bullion could fall dramatically. Silver is already in a significant downtrend, and gold is also entering a structural decline. We need sustainably higher silver prices before much exploration and development occur. He says, "This could be one of the last great buying opportunities, especially when you consider the large macro picture. The bigger the sell-off, the bigger the opportunity." March was an excellent example of a sell-off, and we also briefly saw the highest gold to silver ratio in history. The time to stop buying gold and silver would be only after a massive reduction in risk in the world today. He discusses some of the best investment strategies that will terrify most financial planners. Jeff discusses the potential benefits that crypto will have on society. For him, it's mostly a speculative investment. Gold today, relative to anything else, is still inexpensive. Huge potential remains for gold and silver equities. Jeff discusses some mining equities that currently excite him.

Tom welcomes a new guest to Palisade, Jeff Clark, who is the Senior Precious Metals Analyst at GoldSilver.com. Jeff discusses what led him to become interested in mining and metals. He worked and learned from Louis James and Doug Casey and now works with Mike Maloney. Jeff cautions that investors should be skeptical of mining companies' claims because they will always place their best foot forward. Both Jeff and Mike believe there will be a wealth transfer from fiat-backed assets to precious metals. This will overshoot, and that will be the time to pull profits and purchase other discounted assets. We could see triple-digit silver since it's a small market and quite volatile. It doesn't take a lot of cash inflows to impact the price. Silver today is valued at $68 billion in above-ground physical metal in coins and bars. Compared to the global markets, silver is just a drop in a swimming pool. Jeff discusses the silver mining situation today and the increasingly severe lack of new growth in the industry. Investors should consider that it usually takes ten years to bring a new mine online. He feels the risk of confiscation is lower today than in the past because gold and silver are no longer part of the monetary base, but it remains a possibility. Talking Points From This Episode A global wealth transfer is coming.Triple digits silver is a concerning possibility.Silver remains a small market compared to fiat.Lack of new mines, shortages, and the likelihood of future confiscation.

Many analysts suggest that gold’s bull-run is not over and that it will continue to give even better returns in the near to mid-term. By the end of this year some think that gold might re-test $1800 an ounce…TBD. Here are the most favored ways to invest in Gold Physical gold: You can buy jewelry, gold coins or gold bars. Bullion coins seem to be the favored strategy and can be brought either from dealers or from banks. Numismatic (collectible) coins are another possibility but require a higher level of expertise. Gold ETFs: ETFs are an easy way to invest for those who don’t want to keep physical gold for safety concerns.  It’s a hassle-free method to maintain a position…you can buy ETFs through your online brokerage account. Equity-based Gold funds: You can invest in mutual funds which have exposure in companies engaged in gold exploration, mining, processing, extraction and marketing. All you need to have is an online brokerage account, and you’re all set. Gold Stocks: Overall gold stocks are down as much as 30% over the past year, and in the same time frame, the price of physical gold has risen. This suggests that there’s money to be made buying a hammered sector of the stock market when it is out of fashion and nobody wants it.  Think value investing in a speculative sector. This point of view (POV) says buy gold stocks, as the sentiment will rebound, the crowd will come back and there will be profits in the short to intermediate term. Could also be a trading strategy. Futures: You can buy gold futures through most discount brokers, but it’s not recommended for the novice or even moderately experienced investor…steer clear unless you are a professional trader. On-line Gold Purchases: The Hard Assets Alliance was founded with one overarching goal; to provide member clients with a better way to buy, sell and own gold, silver and other precious metals. Transactions can be made online 24/7 from anywhere in the world and include as a standard option the storage of purchased metals in New York, Salt Lake City, Australia, London or Zurich. With a SmartMetals™ account from Hard Assets Alliance, you can buy or sell fully allocated lots of gold, silver, platinum, or palladium - single coins to multi-ounce bars - instantly, online. No more waiting for your check to arrive at a dealer, only to find out the price has changed, or that your order was only partially filled, or more expensive than you intended. You'll have all of the information you need before you buy or sell.

All you need to have is an online brokerage account, and you’re all set. Gold Stocks: Overall gold stocks are down as much as 30% over the past year, and in the same time frame, the price of physical gold has risen. This suggests that there’s money to be made buying a hammered sector of the stock market when it is out of fashion and nobody wants it.  Think value investing in a speculative sector. This point of view (POV) says buy gold stocks, as the sentiment will rebound, the crowd will come back and there will be profits in the short to intermediate term. Could also be a trading strategy. Futures: You can buy gold futures through most discount brokers, but it’s not recommended for the novice or even moderately experienced investor…steer clear unless you are a professional trader.
