This bull market will likely be very exciting, but you need to develop a plan for keeping those profits.

  Many mines are nearing the end of their ore life and have done little exploration. This lack of foresight will lead to a crisis in reserves. Today, there are very few primary silver producers in the world. He discusses the requirements ETF’s are held to and how their overall performance can be impacted. When it comes to miners, management is critical, along with their cash burn rate and how they have handled past downturns. They must be finding more reserves, and you should determine how they treat their shareholders. You want people who are well known, successful and are amongst the best in the mining space. There are several projects in cryptocurrencies that are trying to be backed by gold and silver. He believes this will lead to another unexpected tailwind for the metals markets, as this backing will require metal.
