Christopher Aaron: Gold and the Miners – Why Isn’t There More Interest?
Tom welcomes back to the show, Christopher Aaron to discuss his perspective on the markets. Gold and miners have seen an extreme lack of sentiment leading to prices down fifty plus percent for major companies, and even worse for exploration companies. This largely is a product of psychology and current price action, with investors waiting for a potential catalyst to decide where gold is headed.
Chris explains his approach to metals markets, noting it’s important that investing should not be focused on fundamentals alone, since they can lead to blinders when markets do not perform the way expected. He uses charts to demonstrate the flat Dow-Gold ratio in the past few years, signalling that we have entered an uncharted area with regards to freely traded gold. An impulsive move is likely to occur in the coming months in favor of either stocks or gold. Christopher also talks about possible technological advancements, as well as his expectations for gold’s movement in the next one to two years.
