Peter Grandich: What a Turnaround in Junior Gold Mining Stocks Will Look Like

Posted on by admin

The Gold Report: Peter, when we talked in the spring, you were essentially all in on a number of junior resource equities that were trading at what you believed were at or near their lows. Have you changed your course of action or are you still all in?

Peter Grandich: I am still on course. While 2012 may not have been the worst junior resource market by percentage losses, given the prices of metals now versus other markets and other market conditions compared to last year, it was the worst bear market since I entered Wall Street in 1984.

I've been in this market since the late 1980s, when it felt that if gold could just get over $400/ounce (oz), all would be well in the junior market. Now gold is at an average price of $1,600-something for the year, yet most companies did not do well. It is befuddling.

TGR: We are not far from exiting 2012. What is your perspective on the junior precious metals sector heading into 2013? Continue reading "Peter Grandich: What a Turnaround in Junior Gold Mining Stocks Will Look Like" →

The Gold Report: When we last spoke in February, you were predicting a new round of quantitative easing (QE), which we've been seeing the last few weeks. Where do you think this is all going to end up?

Greg McCoach: The latest QE3 is open-ended, allowing the Federal Reserve to create money every month, indefinitely. QE3 was announced just a few weeks ago and already there is talk about QE4. So, in my opinion, this is the death spiral of the U.S. dollar.

The same thing is going on in Europe and Japan. It's very troubling and, in my opinion, totally unsustainable. But, trying to predict a timeline for the ultimate demise is almost impossible. This stuff could last another couple of years. Adding in the derivative problems on top of all this debt, it's just sheer insanity. So, where is gold going? It's going way higher because this is the ultimate dynamic that will guide the investment world for the coming years.

TGR: Is there any realistic solution, or are they just getting us deeper into the hole, and ultimately everything is just going to cave in on top of us?

"At some point I know gold and silver prices are going to go way higher than where they are now."

GM: The days of being able to fix this are long past. I had a chance conversation with a U.S. senator and, when I asked him about the debts and deficit spending, he admitted that everybody in Washington and New York knows that there's no possible way to pay this back. So, essentially all the politicians are hoping it doesn't blow up on their watch. Continue reading "When Greg McCoach Picks Mining Stocks, It's Location, Location, Location" →
