Seeking Optimism from Frank Holmes in this Dystopian World

Frank Holmes, Jim Greig and Michael Oliver return on this week’s episode of the program.

In a global economy sitting on death row, thanks to extreme levels of debt, the sudden COVID-19 epidemic in early 2020 triggered the greatest economic decline since the 1930s. Seemingly all factors are lining up for the greatest precious metals bull market in a lifetime. But are there other areas of opportunity that a gold bug like your host is overlooking? We look forward to some additional investment opportunities from Frank Holmes whose U.S. Global firm manages a diverse group of mutual funds. So, in addition to gold, what other investment opportunities does Frank see?

Michael will provide his latest momentum and structural readings for an objective look at various sectors and his usual entertaining but highly prescient views on key markets and Jim will update us on Benchmark’s significant progress toward outlining a multi-million ounce gold equivalent deposit in B.C.

In the 1980’s Oliver began to develop his own momentum-based method of technical analysis. In 1987 Oliver, along with his futures client accounts (Oliver had trading POA) technically anticipated and captured the Crash. Oliver began to realize that his emergent momentum-structural-based tools should be further developed into a full analytic methodology.

In 1992 he was asked by the Financial VP and head of Wachovia Bank’s Trust Department to provide soft dollar research to Wachovia. Within a year Oliver shifted from brokerage to full-time technical research. MSA has provided its proprietary technical research services to financial and asset management clients continually since 1992.Oliver is the author of The New Libertarianism: Anarcho-Capitalism.
