FOMC Chair Powell is a former attorney and isn't an economist. So, it's important to listen to what the Fed chair is saying and avoid noise from others even those at the Fed. John explains the importance of non-farm payrolls metrics but one should also watch the CPI and home prices. He cautions that a single metric should not affect the gold sector that much.

Miners will offer outsized returns particularly this fall since they have been beaten down. All the large mining conferences are coming up this fall and most CEOs are excited.

John explains when they prefer to hold physical versus when they prefer to trade. Currently, some equities like the hospitality sector may be well ahead of themselves especially considering the delta variant.

He likes silver and particularly palladium because of its limited supply and details why there are opportunities with palladium juniors.

Crypto he argues has taken some of the speculation away from the metals. There are many opportunities for making money today and that causes a lack of interest in certain sectors but also opportunities for the observant.

Talking Points From This Episode
- FOMC Powell and government reporting.
- Opportunities this fall in junior mining investing.
- Determining when to sell and his investing methods.
