INSIGHT

Debt Pressure Fuels Precious Metals

  • Global debt levels nearing 300–400% of GDP create unsustainable pressure on fiat currencies and economic growth.
  • Jonathan Wellum argues this structural stress drives long-term demand for gold and silver as monetary insurance.
ADVICE

Reposition Rather Than Panic Sell

  • If you believe deficits and monetary easing continue, hold quality gold and silver businesses rather than speculating.
  • Reevaluate valuations after big metal moves and rotate into attractively priced royalties or miners as needed.
ADVICE

Prepare For Sharp Metal Volatility

  • Expect large volatility in gold and silver and plan to tolerate sharp retracements.
  • Don't let price swings dislodge you if the macro fundamentals supporting precious metals remain intact.
