Crescat Capital: A New Bull Market for Precious Metals

Crescat Capital:

2020 Q2 Investor Letter

Central banks are facing a serious predicament. After decades of ongoing accommodative monetary policy, the world is now sitting at record levels of debt relative to global GDP. In our view, there has never been a bigger gulf between underlying economic fundamentals and security prices. 

We are in a global recession, but equity and credit markets still trading at outrageous valuations. Markets are trading on a perverse combination of Fed life support and rabid speculative mania. Meanwhile, demand for gold and silver, which is fundamentally cheap, is starting to take off as central banks are engaged in new record easy monetary policies. 

Ongoing easy monetary policies in the face of today’s asset bubbles in stocks and fixed income securities has a high probability of leading to a self-reinforcing cycle that drives investors out of these over-valued asset classes and into under-valued precious metals. Here are just some of the reasons Crescat is selling richly valued stocks at large and buying undervalued gold and silver including mining companies today.

Goehring & Rozen: On the Verge Of An Energy Crisis

Goehring & Rozencwajg:

2020 Second Quarter Coomentary

How quickly can oil supply be brought back to meet recovering demand?

That is the critical question investors are asking, and the one we strive to answer in this quarter’s in-depth commentary. While most investors believe the lost production will be easily brought back online, our models tell us something vastly different. While OPEC+ production will likely rebound, non-OPEC+ supply will be extremely challenged. Instead of recovering, our models tell us that non-OPEC+ production is about to decline dramatically from today’s already low levels.    

Jim Rogers: Beware The Stock Market Is A Ticking Time Bomb

 Economic Times:

Legendary investor Jim Rogers believes the next decade is going to be tough for global investors. In an interaction with ETNOW, he said the worst of his lifetime is yet to come, which will take a huge toll on many of the hyped-up stocks.

Commenting on the ongoing trend, where expensive stocks are getting more expensive and cheap ones are getting cheaper, he said this always happens towards the end of a bull market, as people think they are safe, and thereafter, you have a blow-off in the market.

Roger said governments and central banks are printing a huge amount of money. There are chances that people might lose their confidence in governments and can move towards precious metals.
