Gold Will Lead a Multi-Decade Commodities & Miners Bull Market says Analyst Mark Galasiewski
Elliott Wave Analyst Mark Galasiewski foresees Gold leading a multi-decade commodities and miners bull market. Bitcoin and info-tech will decline. The U.S. Dollar will fall; but emerging markets will prosper. Interest rates have now entered a long-term rate rising cycle. We are at a great inflection point in which funds will increasingly flow from intangible assets (bitcoin/tech) and into tangible assets (gold/commodities/miners).
Mark Galasiewski (gala-SHEV-ski) began his analytical career in 2001, researching fundamentals of listed stocks at an institutional brokerage in Stamford, Connecticut. Since joining EWI, Mark has presented at several investment conferences in Asia and has been interviewed by and featured in major media outlets such as Bloomberg TV Asia, India’s CNBC TV-18 and ET Now, the South China Morning Post, Bloomberg newswire, Dow Jones Asia newswire, Barron’s, Forbes, and Press Trust India. Mark has a degree in East Asian Studies and lived for six years during the 1990s in Japan. He is fluent in Japanese and conversant in Mandarin Chinese. Mark joined EWI in 2005 and has been editor of The Asian-Pacific Financial Forecast since 2008.

Rotation into Gold Stocks Happening Now says Pro Investor David Erfle
Pro Investor David Erfle sees the rotation out of overvalued equities and into undervalued gold stocks happening in real time. He also discusses how he is playing this gold stock bull run, whether Newmont is still the sector bellwether stock, how to apply technical analysis to gold stocks and much more.
David Erfle is a self-taught mining sector investor. He stumbled upon the mining space in 2003 as he was looking to invest into a growing sector of the market. After researching the gains made from the 2001 bottom in the tiny gold and silver complex, he became fascinated with this niche market. So much so that in 2005 he decided to sell his home and invest the entire proceeds from the sale into junior mining companies. When his account had tripled by September, 2007, he decided to quit his job as the Telecommunications Equipment Buyer at UCLA and make investing in this sector his full-time job. David founded the Junior Miner Junky subscription-based newsletter in April, 2017 and writes a weekly column for precious metals news service Kitco.com, whose website attracts nearly a million visits every day.
