Gwen Preston: The Fundamentals for Gold & Gold Stocks are Outstanding

Gwen discusses the reasons why the gold bear market has ended and how it is different from what most investors anticipated. Global currencies are in a race to the bottom as countries compete for trade, and central banks continue to cut interest rates. Countries want weaker currencies, and today, the US dollar stands as the counterpoint. Today’s investors are uncertain, and they are looking for a “safe haven,” and that is likely to be gold.

September is a busy month for resource investment conferences, and as gold fundamentals have improved, new investors have begun looking. She recommends investors begin with low-risk well-known companies as there will be new waves of opportunity in the gold market. Generalist fund managers are beginning to attend resource conferences, and this all bodes well for resources.

Bond markets are in an extraordinary place today, as low-risk money can no longer find returns. This paradigm shift has resulted in a lot of this money seeking gains in stock markets. However, risks are rising, and a recession may be looming, and gold is standing out in this environment. She provides a chart that demonstrates a strong correlation between bond yields and the gold price.

Geology has helped her to understand the markets, and she recommends “Mineral Exploration and Mining Essentials.” She also recommends reading the autobiographies of successful people in the sector.

She is working on creating a conference focused around bridging the gap between investors and companies involved in financing opportunities and private placements.
