Gold has had an incredible rally this year, appreciating more than the S&P 500 or NASDAQ. Global central banks have bought at the fastest pace in history, and making gold the second largest reserve asset behind the US dollar. Jared Woodard believes there may be a buyable dip in the months to come and explains why. As for gold equities, they have materially outperformed the gold price of late and Lawson Winder says the time to own gold miners is during bull markets for gold but longer term, the stocks have clearly underperformed the metal. Electrification is more an important driver for gold than silver as it's a better conductor than copper. Lawson discusses this and why the electrification push remains a good investment theme.
