Jayant Bhandari, a private strategic resource investor that consults many high-net-worth investors and institutions, joins me to share his outlook on both gold and copper demand, as well as 3 different arbitrage trade opportunities in resource stock mergers, and the value proposition he sees in 2 gold exploration companies.

The balance of the discussion focuses on value arbitrage setups in 3 resource stocks being acquired, and opportunities in 2 gold explorers that he holds in his own portfolio. The companies that we reviewed are:
