Marin Katusa: US Dollar to Remain Strong, as Gold Continues to Surprise

Marin thoroughly enjoyed this year’s Palisade Global “Hard Asset Conference on Jekyll Island” with his family, and he gave a keynote presentation.

He feels that the US dollar will continue to do well in spite of investor sentiment to the contrary. Most of the world’s currencies are very screwed up, and while the US dollar is also screwed up, it is still better than all the rest.

Marin likes actionable advice and recommends being a contrarian. Be wary of the opinion of newsletter writers and poor management teams that don’t invest in their own stock. Most of the juniors don’t have any gold and have a geologist that is chasing some wild theory. If juniors with questionable projects are getting financed, it may be time to sell.

The shotgun approach to picking juniors works well in a bull market, but it’s terrible for performance in a down or sideways market. Be very selective, just sit tight, and you will have a good run. We are in a consolidation period for gold, and Marin feels that we still have a ways to go before the next bull run.

Marin doesn’t believe in peak oil and gold because it’s all about the price at which resources become economical. Company assessments are often very selective and overly optimistic about their projections. Carefully examine management track records and see who signed off on these assessments.

Marin is not bullish on uranium as we are in an echo phase of the market. You don’t need to buy anything risky in the uranium market because you can pick up the royalties instead.

Vanadium is going to become needed for the green energy revolution, and Arizona is a safe jurisdiction. He is excited about Victory Metals.
