In this week's long-form we reconnect with Chris Temple, publisher of the National Investor. We have a wide range of topics to get through in this discussion, including soft landings in the stock market, holes in the economy beginning to percolate, a void of an energy policy, and the summer doldrums of junior mining. 

We'd like to thank our sponsors:
