Gold is having a moment - trading above $4,000 just a few months after hitting $3,000.

It's up by more than 50%t this year, on track for its best year since 1979. And volatility seems to be ticking higher too.

Gold has long been viewed as a safe haven in times of uncertainty - and let's face it, there's a lot of that right now. But could that role be changing, and does crypto currency become a factor in it all?

Host Kris McCusker speaks to Luis Seco - a professor in mathematics at the University of Toronto to get his take on what's happening, and whether it’s too late to invest.
