Episode Description
Legendary gold mine investor Pierre Lassonde appears for the first time. Pierre is known for his leadership as an innovative mining executive and founder of the largest natural resources royal company, Franco-Nevada. In 1985 Franco-Nevada acquired a royalty in a small mining operation in the heart of the Carlin gold belt of Nevada for US$2 million. From inception to February 2002 when the company was sold to Newmont Mining for US$3.2 billion, Franco-Nevada provided its shareholders a 36% annualized rate of return. For obvious reasons there are fewer mining company executives your host would rather ask about the current state of the gold mining industry and whether or not he thinks now is a good time to increase gold share holdings. Dr. Tony Barresi will precede Pierre to update us on Triumph Gold’s potential world-class, gold-copper porphyry project and we will ask Michael Oliver if his analytical view of the gold markets is in sync with Pierre’s view from a fundamental viewpoint.

Jay Taylor has been able to more than double his newsletter’s model portfolio from 2000 to the present even as the S&P 500 was in the process of losing 50% of its value!
The insights provided to Jay came from a history professor in 1967 who advised Jay that when countries go off a gold or silver standard, hard economic times are sure to follow because nations begin to think they do not need to work hard and save to enjoy a better life. Indeed there is no free lunch and a gold standard reminds people of that every day.
Jay watched his professor’s prophetic words come true when in 1971, President Nixon completely detached the dollar from gold. Not surprising to Jay, the price of gold skyrocketed in the late 1970s as inflation wiped out vast amounts of wealth from average Americans. To protect his own wealth Jay began to invest in gold and gold mining shares and in 1981 he began sharing his success and insights in his newsletter. In 1981 Jay began writing a subscription newsletter that has earned his subscribers countless thousands of dollars over the years.
Jay’s insights as to the real cause of our problems has enabled him to find investment strategies that work. Diagnose a problem correctly and you have a chance for success. Diagnose a problem incorrectly as the establishment does and you are sure to fail.
