“It’s Time to Invest in Gold Equities Which Are Screaming for Attention” says Jayant Bhandari
“It is a very exciting time. It is a time to invest in gold equities which have not really reflected the performance of the gold price…There are a lot of equities which are screaming for attention,” explains analyst Jayant Bhandari.
In this interview, Jayant gives his view on gold equities, how to value a junior mining company, why you need to internationalize your wealth, and three junior mining arbitrage opportunities.
Jayant Bhandari of Anarcho Capital, is constantly traveling the world to look for investment opportunities, particularly in the natural resource sector.

Demographic Shift Impacting Gold Miner Valuations explains Mining Sector Expert Brian Christie
“There has been a bit of a demographic shift. Guys my age are retiring, and they are not putting a lot of their money to risk as much anymore. Even the flow-through market here…there used to be a lot of doctors, dentists, lawyers that would typically put money in flow-through funds to get the tax advantage. The Canadian government has changed some of those rules and made it a lot harder. So, I think that is part of the disconnect [between the gold price and gold miners’ valuations],” says mining sector expert Brian Christie. Listen to this MSE interview for more insights from Mr. Christie.
Brian Christie has vast mining sector experience. He began his career as a geologist and saw two mineral discoveries first-hand. Then he traveled the world as a journalist for The Northern Miner. Brian next served as a mining equity analyst for nearly two decades before leading the investor relations team at Agnico Eagle, a leading gold producer. Currently, Brian is on the board of directors for Wallbridge Mining and, since May 2023, is the chairman of Fury Gold Mines (MSE sponsor).

“Next Big Junior Mining Sector Move Is Up. Crash Has Already Happened” says Investor Erik Wetterling
“This sector [junior mining] when you think about it is fascinatingly dumb in a sense and so fascinatingly predictable. Because like Pierre Lassonde says it is the easiest sector in the world. His simple reasoning is that it always crashes and then always rallies. We’ve had the crash. What is the next step? We know what the next step is. The question is if we are going to be there for it. The next big move in the junior space is obviously up. I know a lot of people are worrying about the crash. But the crash has already happened,” says private investor Erik Wetterling in this MSE episode. Erik, furthermore, shares his current views on the junior mining sector and how he is managing his portfolio.

“You Want to be Selective in the Gold Stocks You Pick” warns Resource Fund Manager Samuel Pelaez
“Investing in the gold sector over the cycle has not proven to be a successful investment strategy. So, you do not want to invest in the entire sector. You want to be selective in the [gold] stocks you pick, whether the gold price is rising or not. And I think that remains the case for this cycle,” warns Resource Fund Manager Samuel Pelaez in this MSE episode.
Samuel Pelaez is the President, CEO and CIO of Olive Resource Capital Inc. He has dedicated the past decade to financing natural resource projects while serving as Chief Investment Officer and Portfolio Manager at Galileo Global Equity Advisors, and as an analyst at US Global Investors. Mr. Pelaez has been an early investor in numerous resource discoveries and has been an active participant in Canadian resource corporate transactions. Samuel graduated from the Schulich School of Business with Distinction. He also holds a Masters in Finance degree from The University of Cambridge. He was a scholar of the Financial Leaders of Tomorrow Program at the PBOC Graduate School at Tsinghua University in Beijing. Samuel is a CFA charter holder and member of the Toronto CFA Society where he resides. Mr. Pelaez is currently, President, CEO and a Director of Gossan Resources Ltd.

Big Money Momentum Traders Pushing Gold Higher says Pro Gold Stock Investor David Erfle
Pro gold stock investor David Erfle says that big money momentum traders are pushing gold higher in this MSE episode. David also discusses how to manage a junior gold stock portfolio in a bull market.
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.
