In this episode of Invest~Talks, we talk to Zac Phllips, Business Development at London-listed Union Jack Oil (LON: UJO), a UK-focused oil and gas company. We discussed the Company's purchase of a royalty Interest in the Claymore, Piper and Scapa North Sea Oilfields. Zac is also a Director at Oil & Gas Advisors Limited who acted as financial adviser to Union Jack in respect of this transaction.

Condor Gold plc is a public listed company trading on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker CNR.  It is also listed in Canada on the TSX.

In this new episode of InvestTalks, Stefania Barbaglio talks to John Cornford, a renowned investment analyst for both institutional and private investor publications. John explains why the market-listed Condor Gold (CNR) should be on investors' watchlist.

Condor Gold's flagship project is the 100% owned La India mine in Nicaragua, which is in preparation for mining next year. Although the company has been overlooked by market watchers for a few years, exciting developments in recent months have now brought Condor into the spotlight.

The project is fully permitted for development, construction & operation of a processing plant with a capacity of up to 2,800 tonnes per day and associated mine site infrastructure. This is shaping up to be a "high quality project with a high rate of return," says John.

The bullish sentiment in the gold market makes Condor even more promising. Exposure to safe haven assets such as gold is an important factor to safeguard investment in times of slower economic growth and reduced returns, such as now. There are a number of ways for investors to secure exposure to gold, such as coins, bullion and/or equities. Condor Gold should be on your radar.

Stefania Barbaglio talks to Ian Williams, chairman and Chief Investment Officer of Charteris Treasury Portfolio Managers Limited. 

Precious metals are considered the perfect investment by many during times of economic turmoil, offering an  hedge against inflation. 

Here is the question. After gold hits its all-time highs, should investors still chase the market? Maybe not.

On the other hand, silver offers interesting opportunities if you want to maximise returns. 

IMPORTANT avoid government bonds and do not think cash is king anymore. Smart investment is key during challenging time. 

A MUST TO LISTEN

In this week of FinancialFox Week In Review, Stefania Barbaglio discusses the impressive run of Gold as prices reach $2,000 an ounce mark and analysts expect the prices to further go up to $3,500 within two years. Gold is on a bullish trend, and this can be attributed to the current market volatility, impact of coronavirus & weaker fiat currencies. Investors are looking to differentiate their portfolio with safe-haven assets, and Gold is on the top list.  A similar bull run is happening with another asset:  *BITCOIN* / *BTC*. Whether it can be considered a safe-haven asset or not, it is still open to discussions but the matter of the fact being that bitcoin reached it's 2020 high at $11,500 high with expectations to surpass $12,500- the highest in July 2019.  Steffy also mentions the reasons why she thinks investors should look at cryptocurrencies:  follow people like Robert Breedlove to learn more about Bitcoin, learn how to trade crypto from exchanges such as Coinbase & Binance. 

Next topic is the advertising industry, heavily impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Companies seize their marketing budgets which result in a decline in revenue for the US big techs: Google's parent company Alphabet reported a loss in revenue for the very first time; Twitter reported a 25% slump in revenue, looking at a subscription-base model to diversify its revenue stream & capitalise on the record growth in user base.  

One junior London-listed company to mention is the blockchain research and development group Online Blockchain PLC (LON:OBC), the sister company of the global financial news platform ADVFN. OBC launched a new product for beta testing on 27 July called PTC.Network, offering distributed advertisements through paid-to-click advertising websites. The new feature attracted over 90k new user visits within 24 hrs. Steffy mentions how offering rewards is an integral and pivotal element in the crypto & blockchain community, and it is unique to PTC.Network model.  Do check it out and keep on the radar.  

Lastly, Stefania mentions London-listed energy and natural resources company Ascent Resources Plc (LON: AST). Ahead of the initiation of its Cuba Operations, AST announces critical board appointments including well-known broker and market commentator Malcolm Graham-Wood.

 The Great Twitter Hack of 2020 exposed once again the urgent need for more online and security accountability on the use of social media. Stefania mentions the work of AntumID, a blockchain company specialised in providing data protection solutions for online services. Check out MyDigiPassword, the world’s first blockchain-powered password generator and manager developed by DigiByte (DGB) and AntumID, to log in safely into any website.    

Another controversial announcement this week: Huawei is out of the 5G network in the UK. Questions over surveillance were taken into account by the UK government. The decision sparked debates over the relationship of the UK with countries such as the US and China, as the country seeks more international partnerships following Brexit.   

In the news on the London AIM market, Reabold Resources (RBD) made a takeover offer to Deltic Energy (DELT), an energy company with interests in the North Sea and energy giant Shell as farm-in partner in two of its licenses. The offer was rejected, but discussions between the two companies are set to continue.  Reabold Resources has a 39.7% economic interest in the West Newton, considered to be the largest onshore hydrocarbon discovery in the UK since 1973.
