Mark Magarian: We are Extremely Early in this New Bull Market for Gold

Mark recalls seeing the 1987 market crash from his fathers concerned perspective. There were a lot of worried traders at the time, but also some that made off like bandits. This experience showed him that there were always winners and losers in markets and helped shape him into a contrarian investor.

He describes his early career in the late 90’s trading emerging markets primarily eastern Europe and Russia. Most of the companies were resource plays like oil companies that were all trading at huge discounts. This was an exciting time to study businesses with hard assets and real cash flow. Some of the best tools you can use in the industry are history and the understanding of commodity super-cycles.

The current move in gold is still very early, and prices should be much higher based on economics. Most gold companies today are very undervalued.

He discusses the outlook for uranium and copper and how both have supply imbalances. However, both markets require careful timing which can trip investors up. Keep in mind that prices can always worsen and the current economic cycle would dictate that now is a time to remain patient. It’s probably wise to stick with precious metals for the near future.

Writing down your investment thesis and occasionally reviewing your reasons for a trade will help keep you focused. Exuberant feelings toward your trades might well mark the time to take half off the table and find other opportunities. Today is a great time to do your homework by taking a hard look at stock valuations and monetary policies. It may well be in your interest to have an investment in precious metals.
