I began to realise what had happened yesterday. The price of gold and silver isn&#8217;t being &#8216;smashed down&#8217; (&#8216;paper&#8217; price has). Not only that, there&#8217;s been a massive surge in demand. So much so that all of my usual suppliers have messages like this on their websites&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goldtadise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Chart1987Silver.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-459797\" src=\"https:\/\/goldtadise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Chart1987Silver-300x292.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"373\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goldtadise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Chart1987Silver-300x292.png 300w, https:\/\/goldtadise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Chart1987Silver-800x779.png 800w, https:\/\/goldtadise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Chart1987Silver-150x146.png 150w, https:\/\/goldtadise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Chart1987Silver.png 899w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 373px) 100vw, 373px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Does that sound like usual &#8216;bear market&#8217; behaviour ? Of course not. In my view, Plunger is 100% correct. That being the case, quality names are (temporarily) available at deep discount and should be bought.<\/p>\n<p>Ask yourself this&#8230; just how many big companies\/organisations are going to be in financial difficulty because of Covid-19 ? How many profit warnings will result ? How many bankrupcies are likely ? Let&#8217;s face it, our governments can&#8217;t step in and save them all. They might try, but it just isn&#8217;t possible. Then ask yourself how much profit a well run gold mining company must be generating at these prices (just go online and check out the &#8216;all in sustaining cost&#8217; required by some of these companies). The short answer is that they must be doing exceedingly well, and we&#8217;ll know more once they release their most recent accounts. This tiny sector will suddenly look very attractive to hedge fund managers and investors. It doesn&#8217;t take much of a shift in the allocation of &#8216;big money&#8217; to set these shares alight.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, my advice is to position into these quality producers (Plunger mentions a few) and not get shaken out of the market. Maybe we could have a discussion about the best names. Plunger mentions Franco Nevada Gold Corp, Newmont, Pan American Silver Corp (I&#8217;m not sure who &#8216;Gold and AU AGI are). I would add Sibanye, Yamana, Sandstorm, Kinross, and maybe (I know many don&#8217;t trust them) Barrick.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can only repeat and endorse Plungers message.
