Wall Street Unplugged - What's Really Moving These Markets

Today’s guest is long-time friend and resource expert, Marin Katusa. He's the founder and CEO of Katusa Research. And co-producer of the annual Vancouver Resource Investment Conference. This event is just around the corner… and it's where I find the BEST investment ideas in the sector year after year. In this episode, Marin maps out this year's event… and explains what it’s like to be in the same room as industry legends like Rick Rule, Frank Holmes, and Ross Beaty. Marin also updates us on the gold and junior mining markets… While some analysts tout Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as substitutes for gold, Marin reminds listeners why precious metals remain relevant.

This week we have a special holiday treat...   A short compilation of our most talked-about Wall Street Unplugged podcasts this year.   Some of these episodes generated more listener feedback than others...   And some were chock full of can't-miss investor education and ideas we haven't heard anywhere else...   It was tough to narrow down the list, but the clear 2017 "winner" covered the hottest topics of the year: Bitcoin and Blockchain.   If you're still unclear about the value of cryptocurrencies and what they mean for our future, Chris MacIntosh unfolds one of the best arguments I’ve heard yet. And based on the feedback, listeners thought so too…   But without further ado… Here are the top episodes from 2017:

Mining legend and CEO of Northern Dynasty, Ron Thiessen, joins the show for the first time this week... If you’ve been listening to my podcasts over the past several months – you'll already know how excited I am about this. Ron and I first met in June 2016 when Marin Katusa, Doug Casey, and I booked a trip to Alaska to tour Northern Dynasty’s world-famous Pebble project – the largest undeveloped gold and copper mine on the planet. As most junior resource investors know, there's been a lot of buzz around this project. But it's been a wild ride for shareholders… Ron and his team have been faced with strong headwinds over the past year, thanks to the EPA... And after a long and overdue settlement, Ron has finally decided to break his silence… On today’s episode, Ron talks about the history of the popular Pebble mine… how his company managed to overcome the EPA dispute… and reveals an exciting new partnership… Good investing, Frank Curzio
