Peter Grandich: Junior Resource Stocks – Good Buy or Goodbye?

Tom welcomes returning guest Peter Grandich to the show to discuss the U.S. reaching the practical limit for debt and the serious decline it is facing. They discuss the widespread problems of crime, health issues, and the decline in family values, as well as Canada now advocating medically assisted dying for the elderly and those with mental health issues. Peter believes the BLS has been providing overly optimistic data and that it has never been this tough for small businesses, with labor being difficult to find. He suggests that in downturns, it is better to be a year too early than a day too late, and that gold is an example of an uncrowded trade. He also believes that the cryptocurrency space has largely blown up and won't be coming back anytime soon. Peter believes that we have seen the worst of inflation for the foreseeable future, but that inflation will remain higher than what we have become accustomed to. Talking Points From This Episode * Problems facing the USA and the West and why the solutions remain limited.* Crowded trades and what parts of the gold sector hold promise.* Outlook for uranium, energy, and concerns around banks and commercial real estate.
