Gold – Freedom First Network https://freedomfirstnetwork.com There's a thin line between ringing alarm bells and fearmongering. Sun, 17 Nov 2024 13:30:15 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.2 https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/cropped-Square-32x32.jpg Gold – Freedom First Network https://freedomfirstnetwork.com 32 32 178281470 Poland Reads the Signs, Doubles Down on Gold https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/poland-reads-the-tea-leaves-doubles-down-on-gold/ https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/poland-reads-the-tea-leaves-doubles-down-on-gold/#respond Sun, 17 Nov 2024 13:28:28 +0000 https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/poland-reads-the-tea-leaves-doubles-down-on-gold/ Poland has decisively established itself as a formidable player in the global arena of gold reserves, notably surpassing Great Britain by amassing over 400 tons of this precious metal. This significant milestone not only illustrates Poland’s growing commitment to financial security but also emphasizes its resilience in economic matters.

According to Adam Glapiński, the esteemed governor of the National Bank of Poland (NBP), the central bank currently holds an impressive total of 420 tons of gold, thereby officially securing Poland’s position among nations with some of the largest gold reserves worldwide.

“Poland has entered the club of the world’s largest gold reserve holders,” Glapiński announced, emphasizing that this achievement surpasses that which is held by the United Kingdom.

Strategic Goals for Poland’s Gold Reserves

The governor confirmed that one primary objective for NBP is to elevate gold holdings to comprise 20% of its total foreign exchange reserves.

“This move will align us with the world’s leading economies,” Glapiński noted. At present, approximately 15% of Poland’s reserve assets are constituted by gold—a reflection that signifies substantial progress toward achieving this ambitious target.

In recent months, specifically over a period spanning five months, Poland has expeditiously intensified its efforts in acquiring additional quantities of gold—adding an impressive 39 tons—to bolster its already considerable reserves. Such strategic buildup serves as a testament to Poland’s proactive stance against potential global financial disruptions.

The Case for Gold: A Financial Shield

Glapiński has been an unwavering advocate for utilizing gold as a safeguard against financial crises and market volatility. He reiterated its unique qualities when he stated,

“Gold retains its value even in the event of a systemic collapse in the global financial network, where digital assets may fail.”

He further emphasized that this enduring asset remains impervious to credit risks and devaluation wrought by monetary policies—making it not merely valuable but remarkably durable as well.

Furthermore, it is crucial to recognize that Poland’s renewed focus on accumulating wealth through golden assets is deeply entrenched within historical contexts and national experiences; memories etched into collective consciousness regarding German occupation during World War II and subsequent Soviet-era dominance remind citizens alike about both tangible security measures and their undeniable importance amidst turbulent times ahead.

Cultural Significance and Economic Resilience

This profound sentiment resonates deeply within many Polish hearts; Marta Bassani-Prusik—the head expert overseeing precious metals trade at Mint Polska—highlighted such cultural significance succinctly:

“For many families, gold has been a lifeline through turbulent times, a tradition passed down for survival and security.”

By placing paramount importance upon acquiring more extensive stocks related directly back towards physical manifestations like golden bullion bars or coins themselves rather than relying solely upon fluctuating currencies alone ensures ultimately greater preparedness while simultaneously conveying determination towards enhancing national economic resilience moving forward into uncertain future landscapes ahead filled with challenges yet unseen across our globe today!

Undoubtedly then—we see here indeed how these achievements undeniably underscore wider commitments made toward attaining newfound autonomy concerning fiscal independence alongside ambitions directed solely aimed at long-term stability.

“The Correction Before the Surge”: Why Gold and Silver’s Future Is Brighter Than Ever https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/the-correction-before-the-surge-why-gold-and-silvers-future-is-brighter-than-ever/ https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/the-correction-before-the-surge-why-gold-and-silvers-future-is-brighter-than-ever/#respond Fri, 15 Nov 2024 17:13:22 +0000 https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/the-correction-before-the-surge-why-gold-and-silvers-future-is-brighter-than-ever/ It was long overdue by most estimates. Precious metals prices have been steadily rising for far longer than even the most optimistic analysts were expecting a year ago. But Donald Trump’s decisive victory has prompted the “correction” that economists have felt was necessary for a long time.

Kitco analysts predicted a 5%-10% correction following the election and we’re currently in that range. As they recently noted, it’s now just a question of when the next surge begins.

“Gold is set to explode once this necessary and healthy correction has run its course, simply because there is no way to avoid a material dollar devaluation next year to deal with out-of-control federal government deficits and debts, while the Fed is in a lose-lose situation. If the central bank raises rates, we head into a recession. If they continue to cut rates, inflation will rise even further.”

Confidence in the coming Trump administration has already been evident in several markets, including stocks and cryptocurrencies. This, too, was widely anticipated because of the economic stability Trump’s policies will bring. Geopolitically, a calming of calamities has already begun over two months before his inauguration.

As Jonathan Rose, CEO of Genesis Gold Group, highlighted before the election, there is one factor that made him plan properly for his company’s future under a Trump administration.

“Unlike most gold companies, we are rooting for Trump to win because we know what it will mean for the long-term,” he said on the even of last week’s election. “Of course his win will help the nation, but it will also be a huge positive for precious metals because it will finally bring the 800-pound gorilla into the spotlight: national debt.”

Precious metals companies have been thriving under the fear of a potential Kamala Harris regime. But Genesis Gold Group positioned its retirement offerings based on confidence in a Trump victory. The “fearmongering” over CBDCs, geopolitical turmoil, and BRICS had been heavy but there’s now a sense of confidence in how the financial world will react to a Trump administration.

The positive economic benefits will bring the national debt into focus, and that will be good for gold and silver prices. This is why Rose believes it’s time to take advantage of the lower prices immediately.

“This is the correction before the surge,” he said. “Many analysts are putting gold at over $3,000 per ounce next year. Others are pointing to higher numbers. After that, the crystal balls become fuzzy but the roadmap points to steady growth which is perfect for rolling over or transferring retirement accounts today in the midst of the healthy correction.”

Fed’s Bad Moves Plus Trump’s Good Policies Could Yield $8,000 Gold Within This Bull Market Cycle https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/feds-bad-moves-plus-trumps-good-policies-could-yield-8000-gold-within-this-bull-market-cycle/ https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/feds-bad-moves-plus-trumps-good-policies-could-yield-8000-gold-within-this-bull-market-cycle/#respond Sun, 10 Nov 2024 09:30:51 +0000 https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/feds-bad-moves-plus-trumps-good-policies-could-yield-8000-gold-within-this-bull-market-cycle/ The financial implications of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy are drawing significant attention, particularly regarding its potential to trigger a new crisis. Brien Lundin, Editor of Gold Newsletter and CEO of the New Orleans Investment Conference, raises concerns about the Fed’s management strategies.

“The Fed’s management of the price of money is going to create the next crisis, and when that happens, they are going to be forced to get back to zero interest rates,” he said.

Lundin emphasizes that recent cuts in interest rates—25 basis points last week following a 50-basis-point reduction in September—are merely indicative of a more extensive rate-cutting cycle. This trend is largely driven by the unsustainable costs associated with servicing national debt.

“Successive rate cuts are baked into the cake because of the tremendous cost of servicing the federal debt at these interest rate levels,” Lundin continued.

He further elaborates on impending challenges for corporations as they navigate their debt obligations amidst rising interest rates.

“The debt rate tsunami on a corporate level – we’re going to see a lot of debt resets coming up in the months just ahead.”

According to Lundin, companies already struggled with their debts during periods characterized by zero-interest rates; thus, maintaining solvency will become exceedingly difficult under current circumstances.

“Companies had trouble paying and servicing those debts in a zero-interest rate environment. They will find it nearly impossible to service those debts at current interest rates. The Fed really has to get rates down. The longer it waits, the more urgently it will have to do so at some point.”

Moreover, he suggests that negative interest rates may soon be necessary for addressing future economic challenges.

“My longer-term picture view is that we have to have negative real rates with debt loads this high. The cost of servicing that debt needs to be lower than the rate that currency is depreciating. Otherwise, the entire house of cards collapses.”

Jonathan Rose, CEO of Genesis Gold Group, added to the points by highlighting the election of Donald Trump.

“The Fed’s moves combined with President Trump’s fixes in the overall economy will be hugely beneficial for those holding precious metals,” he said. “I know some are projecting much higher numbers but we conservatively see $3,000 and then $4,000 ounces for gold on the horizon.”

In light of these forecasts and analysis regarding monetary policy adjustments and corporate indebtedness trends, Lundin anticipates gold prices soaring between $6,000-$8,000 within this bull market cycle based on historical trading patterns observed over time.

Additionally noted was gold’s recent divergence from its historically inverse relationship with both dollar value and bond yields—a development worth observing as market dynamics evolve amidst changing fiscal policies.

Gold Skyrocketed 51% During Trump’s First Term — Will It Do the Same in His Second? https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/gold-skyrocketed-51-during-trumps-first-term-will-it-do-the-same-in-his-second/ https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/gold-skyrocketed-51-during-trumps-first-term-will-it-do-the-same-in-his-second/#respond Fri, 08 Nov 2024 02:08:22 +0000 https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/gold-skyrocketed-51-during-trumps-first-term-will-it-do-the-same-in-his-second/ Now that Donald Trump is officially the President Elect, some are wondering if his presidency bodes ill for gold and silver prices. On the contrary, this is exactly what people “in the know” have been hoping for to keep precious metals prices moving forward just as they did in Trump’s first term.

After the initial post election drop, gold and silver prices started rising shortly after Trump’s victory.

“Considering everything we know, it’s ludicrous to think Trump will harm gold and silver prices,” said Jonathan Rose, CEO of Genesis Gold Group. “Gold rose 51% in his first term. I suspect they’ll rise even faster in a second term considering the state of geopolitics today.”

Precious metals have been consistently hitting record highs and the vast majority of analysts and bankers are predicting more of the same throughout 2025 now that Trump has won. Companies like BlackRock, Bank of America, and JPMorgan Chase are betting heavily on precious metals. Central banks have been buying up as much gold as they can for three years.

“The economic world is very different than it was in the past when Republican administrations hurt precious metals prices,” Rose continued. “If anything, I would expect prices to rise faster now that Trump has won because gold and silver are necessary to properly rebuild our economy with his policies.”

Genesis Gold Group is a faith-driven company that specializes in rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into a Genesis Gold IRA backed by physical precious metals. They can do so without tax-penalties and with little money out of pocket, allowing Americans to hedge their life’s savings against geopolitical turbulence.

With U.S. debt projected to hit $54 trillion by 2034, BRICS nations pushing for de-dollarization, and the possibility of war on multiple fronts, it behooves Americans to consider protecting their wealth or retirement with physical precious metals.

JPMorgan Sees Strength in Both Gold and Crypto if Donald Trump Wins https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/jpmorgan-sees-strength-in-both-gold-and-crypto-if-donald-trump-wins/ https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/jpmorgan-sees-strength-in-both-gold-and-crypto-if-donald-trump-wins/#respond Sat, 02 Nov 2024 17:46:27 +0000 https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/jpmorgan-sees-strength-in-both-gold-and-crypto-if-donald-trump-wins/ As the U.S. Presidential election approaches, with less than a week to go, investors are deliberating over which candidate may yield better outcomes for financial markets. Analysts at JPMorgan have indicated a favorable outlook for Bitcoin (BTC) and gold in the event of a Donald Trump victory.

According to JPMorgan analysts led by managing director Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, “Retail investors appear to be embracing the ‘debasement trade’ in an even stronger manner by buying Bitcoin and gold ETFs.”

hE also noted that this retail enthusiasm extends to meme and AI tokens, which have seen outperforming market caps.

Recent data highlights that Bitcoin has surged above $73,000, prompting significant inflows into U.S.-listed spot BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Over the past week alone, these ETFs increased their combined assets under management by more than $2.27 billion according to Farside Investors.

This marks the third-largest month of inflows into Bitcoin ETFs since their inception in January. The increase is attributed largely to retail interest seeking alternative assets as protection against currency debasement.

However, institutional investors have largely refrained from participating in this rally. The analysts remarked that institutional players paused their activity with Bitcoin futures recently based on cumulative open interest changes within CME contracts adjusted daily.

“Bitcoin futures have become rather overbought,” they warned. “Creating some vulnerability going forward.”

JPMorgan’s report also observed continued inflows into gold ETFs driven primarily by retail investors amidst a decline in institutional engagement with gold futures trading.

“Overall,” they concluded, “to the extent a Trump win inspires retail investors to not only buy risk assets but also further embrace the ‘debasement trade’, there could be additional upside for Bitcoin and gold prices.”

While Trump’s potential re-election is perceived as generally positive for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, its impact on gold may be more muted according to David Morrison from Trade Nation.

“Gold should continue to do its own thing,” he stated regarding current market conditions.

Morrison elaborated further: “It is currently in a bull market and this is unlikely to change under either candidate.”

He emphasized factors such as lower interest rates and declining dollar values that can bolster gold prices while noting little influence either candidate might exert over Federal Reserve policies—even despite Trump’s comments advocating rate cuts during his tenure.

With Fed chair Jerome Powell maintaining his position without any immediate threat of dismissal—despite Trump’s previous attempts at pressure—Morrison highlighted underlying bullish fundamentals supporting bullion investments amid rising geopolitical tensions alongside central bank purchasing activities primarily from nations like China rather than traditional Western central banks such as those represented by Federal Reserve or ECB actions.

He cautioned about absent retail demand during recent rallies but suggested that igniting such demand could lead toward substantial price gains moving forward.

Nicky Shiels from MKS PAMP provided insights suggesting fluctuating dynamics surrounding future valuations: “Gold’s trajectory into yearend is quite binary and contingent on both election outcomes.”

“The case for Gold at $2500 or $3000 can be made,” she said regarding possible price movements influenced heavily through various economic scenarios unfolding post-election day along with domestic data releases impacting Fed outlooks significantly moving ahead.”

For practical investor strategies concerning precious metals given uncertainty ahead; Shiels advised caution while remaining engaged: “Stay lightly long…but keep dry powder ready.”

Yes, Precious Metals Will Likely Skyrocket After the Election https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/yes-precious-metals-will-likely-skyrocket-after-the-election/ https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/yes-precious-metals-will-likely-skyrocket-after-the-election/#respond Fri, 01 Nov 2024 21:46:14 +0000 https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/yes-precious-metals-will-likely-skyrocket-after-the-election/ Government will grow quickly under Democrats or slower under Republicans, but either way the U.S. government and its expenditures are expected to grow after the election.

Kamala Harris is a Big Gov stereotypical Democrat who will continuing the ballooning of budgets, deficits, and debt. Donald Trump was a populist president in his first term, and while he fought government regulations and bureaucracy, recovering from the last four years makes it unlikely that spending will be reduced in his second term.

In other words, we can expect the national debt to continue to grow unabated. It’s just a question of how fast.

With de-dollarization progressing worldwide, even a return to stronger fiscal policies under Trump is unlikely to assuage the rush by governments and central banks to own gold and silver. As for Harris, it is conceivable that the U.S. Dollar could collapse if she continues down the path of the current administration.

According to Mint:

Looking ahead, prices may remain elevated as the US presidential election outcome, regardless of who wins, is likely to further support the ongoing rally in gold prices, said domestic brokerage firm Elara Capital.

The brokerage noted that the 2024 US elections are shaping up to be one of the closest in modern times, and regardless of the outcome, the US fiscal outlook is expected to worsen. As per the IMF, the fiscal deficit for the US is expected to be higher than that of the emerging markets in the next five years.

Then, there’s the likelihood of chaos engulfing the United States in the days, weeks, or even months after the election. There has never been a more polarizing election in the nation’s history. Mass violence or even domestic terrorism are expected following a Trump victory. If Harris wins, the turmoil will be directly economic as companies brace for another four years of rampant inflation, low consumer sentiment, and an ongoing border invasion.

“It behooves Americans to protect their life’s savings with physical precious metals,” said Jonathan Rose, CEO of Genesis Gold Group. “Gold and silver are, in my humble opinion, the best way to do that and the time to get in is before the next big price spike following the election.”

Even the most conservative projections for gold and silver point to stability that belies the current economic turmoil. As Mint continued:

The growing fiscal pressure, particularly if either political party secures sweeping control, could result in a significantly higher deficit. Elara Capital notes that the Federal Reserve is likely to adopt a more hawkish stance under the new government—more so in the event of a Republican sweep—unless clear growth risks emerge.

In this context, gold prices are expected to benefit, serving as a hedge against both fiscal and geopolitical uncertainties. Elara Capital forecasts a 10% upside for gold over the next 12 months, highlighting contributing factors such as rising interest payments on US debt, escalating fiscal pressures, and the impact of increasing USD yields.

Genesis Gold IRA’s produced by this faith-driven company allow Americans to own physical precious metals by rolling over or transferring their retirement accounts. That means no tax impact and minimal cash out of pocket.

Even Globalist Bankers at UBS Are Bullish on Gold for 2025 — Build Your Position Tax-Free With Your Retirement https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/even-globalist-bankers-at-ubs-are-bullish-on-gold-for-2025-build-your-position-tax-free-with-your-retirement/ https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/even-globalist-bankers-at-ubs-are-bullish-on-gold-for-2025-build-your-position-tax-free-with-your-retirement/#respond Wed, 23 Oct 2024 06:15:02 +0000 https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/even-globalist-bankers-at-ubs-are-bullish-on-gold-for-2025-build-your-position-tax-free-with-your-retirement/ When multinational investment bank UBS Group makes statements about their positions, savvy investors take note. Unlike their counterparts at JPMorgan Chase, UBS focuses on privacy and security which compels them to play their cards closer to the vest.

That’s why announcing their stance on gold is such a big deal. This time, it happens to match the stance held by JP Morgan Chase.

“We remain bullish on gold here,” said Joni Teves, Precious Metals Strategist at UBS. “We think the outlook is quite positive heading into next year. Easing by the Fed continues to be supportive for gold, and fundamentals continue to be positive as well. We expect central bank buying to continue, and physical demand we think will remain resilient even as prices continue to rally.”

As the largest private bank in the world with over $5 trillion under management, they are extremely cautious with their recommendations. Even a slight error can cost them and their clients billions, so when they come out as bullish on gold despite current prices already beating projections, it’s noteworthy.

“We’re definitely taking note and so are our clients,” said Jonathan Rose, CEO of Genesis Gold Group. “They’re rushing to make moves with their retirement accounts sooner rather than later because the longer they wait, the higher the prices for gold and silver.”

Rose’s company specializes in rolling over or transferring current and past retirement accounts into Genesis Gold IRAs backed by gold and silver.

When asked about physical precious metals versus other types of investments common in retirement accounts, Teves said it comes down to risk.

“Some investors, especially [those] that are concerned about credit risks, tend to hold physical gold,” she said. “The choice of exposure really depends on an investor’s risk appetite as well as mandate, so it depends on the type of investor.”

For American retirees, the safe haven of physical precious metals can be extremely appealing during the current economic crunch. Learn how Genesis Gold Group can help build a position in gold and silver by requesting their Wealth Protection Kit.

Update for Gold and Silver https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/update-for-gold-and-silver/ https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/update-for-gold-and-silver/#respond Mon, 21 Oct 2024 06:07:06 +0000 https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/update-for-gold-and-silver/ (Lew Rockwell)—Since December 2015 when gold’s value measured in fiat currencies began to rise, gold priced in the four major western currencies has been consistently hitting new high ground. Put another way, these currencies measured in gold have all more than halved, with the yen having lost two-thirds.

We can say this in the knowledge that over long periods the purchasing power of gold is remarkably stable, while those of fiat currencies are not. This is why everyone should examine their exposure to credit, which is always fiat usually with systemic risk thrown in (unless you hold cash notes). But we are all human, and from time to time worry that the headline values of our gold or silver might fall and we have missed a selling opportunity.

Having broken into new high ground, there is no doubt that there’s much speculation embedded in gold and silver prices. While we should not tie events together to tightly, this build up has been ahead of the BRICS summit in Kazan next week, with speculation that a new trade settlement currency backed by gold might be announced. Well, President Putin said on Friday that “talk of creating a single currency for the BRICS grouping was premature”. It is not ruled out, only it is not for this agenda

That would suggest that this coming week will see profit-taking in gold and silver and perhaps a shake-out of speculative longs as their stops are triggered on Comex. But Putin made his statement deferring the introduction of a new currency on Friday, after which gold and silver soared higher. It was probably wrong therefore to associate rising prices for gold and silver with speculation about a new BRICS currency.

The other material statement was that Putin was open to admitting new members. A few weeks ago, I suggested that this could be accelerated by creating a class of associate members as a stepping stone to full membership and I would take this to now be the case. Could that have been behind the surge in gold and silver?

We cannot know. But looking at last night’s Commitment of Traders figures for last Tuesday and adjusting for Open Interest since then it is clear that gold is now in overbought territory, but could go further.

A consolidation here would be the healthy outcome, at least from a technical point of view. We can bet that central banks and other statist interests would welcome the opportunity to pick up some cheap bullion, underwriting the market. And recently, Russia announced that it was in the market for silver bullion. That’s our last chart.

I wouldn’t rule out a back-test, maybe to $30.50 or so. But the bullish message of the chart is clear. And even that might not happen.

Bank of America Sees Gold Breaking $3,000 Sooner Rather Than Later https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/bank-of-america-sees-gold-breaking-3000-sooner-rather-than-later/ https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/bank-of-america-sees-gold-breaking-3000-sooner-rather-than-later/#respond Sun, 20 Oct 2024 21:20:41 +0000 https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/bank-of-america-sees-gold-breaking-3000-sooner-rather-than-later/ Gold has recently experienced a remarkable resurgence, setting record highs and drawing renewed attention from both retail and institutional investors. This shift comes as traditional safe-haven assets are increasingly perceived to be under threat.

Strategists at Bank of America suggest that investors, including central banks, should consider reallocating into gold as a means of protecting wealth against persistent inflation and the risks associated with excessive fiat currency creation and government borrowing.

“Gold looks to be the last ‘safe-haven’ asset standing, incentivizing traders including central banks to increase exposure,” said a Bank of America strategist.

As U.S. debt continues its upward trajectory, there are concerns regarding Treasury supply risks. Analysts warn that higher interest rate payments relative to GDP will elevate gold’s appeal in the coming years.

The financial landscape is not solely about U.S. spending patterns; analysts have referenced insights from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which anticipates global spending could reach 7% to 8% of GDP annually by 2030.

“Ultimately, something has to give: if markets become reluctant to absorb all the debt and volatility increases, gold may be the last perceived safe-haven asset standing.”

The analysts elaborated on how “central banks, in particular, could further diversify their currency reserves.”

Individual investors, especially retirees with their life’s savings locked in retirement accounts, have been increasingly interested in moving their money to gold and silver.

“The general sentiment is that the election will spike precious metals prices,” said Jonathan Rose, CEO of Genesis Gold Group. “If Trump wins, there will be short term chaos from those who hate him. If Harris wins, there will be long-term instability due to her poor economic plans.

“Either way, gold and silver are poised to keep going up for the foreseeable future.”

This is arguably the biggest immediate reason why so many, including Bank of America analysts, believe gold will continue to rise despite being at record levels already. Between election turmoil and an unsustainable national debt, physical precious metals are arguably the most attractive form of investment available today.

“The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget notes that the national debt is projected to reach a new record high as a share of the economy only three years from now, well within the next presidential term, pushing up interest rate payments as a share of GDP,” they said. “In turn, this makes gold an attractive asset, so we reaffirm our $3,000/oz target,”

Genesis is among the many companies in the United States that rolls over or transfers retirement accounts into IRAs backed by physical precious metals. What differentiates them is their adherence to a faith-driven style of business. This is why their margins and fees are far below the industry average.

“Just as we recommend our clients focus on the long-term, so too do we emphasize lifetime relationships with our clients instead of ‘big hits’ that drive heavy profits for other precious metals companies,” Rose said. “We’re content with win-win engagements so we can all find a safe haven with precious metals together.”
