Maurice Jackson Speaks with Jayant Bhandari About Emerging Market Currencies, the Trade War, US Foreign Policy and More
Maurice Jackson of Proven & Probable has recently conducted a new interview with our friend and occasional contributor to this site, Jayant Bhandari, who is inter alia the host of the annual Capitalism and Morality seminar.

A wide range of topics is discussed, from the strong US dollar and its collapsing counterparts in emerging markets, to the looming threat of trade wars, to US foreign policy and the importance of gold as an insurance policy. As is his wont, Jayant brings a perspective that is often characterized by a refreshing dose of contrarian thinking.
Last but not least, Jayant names several companies in the junior mining space he believes to represent interesting opportunities at the current juncture. We urge readers to always do their own due diligence, but we also believe it cannot hurt to occasionally get a few pointers on where to look, especially if they come from someone who is well-known for his expertise in the sector.
Below is the video of the interview – the duration is approximately 15 minutes. A transcript can be found here.

Dear Readers!
You may have noticed that our so-called “semiannual” funding drive, which started sometime in the summer if memory serves, has seamlessly segued into the winter. In fact, the year is almost over! We assure you this is not merely evidence of our chutzpa; rather, it is indicative of the fact that ad income still needs to be supplemented in order to support upkeep of the site. Naturally, the traditional benefits that can be spontaneously triggered by donations to this site remain operative regardless of the season - ranging from a boost to general well-being/happiness (inter alia featuring improved sleep & appetite), children including you in their songs, up to the likely allotment of privileges in the afterlife, etc., etc., but the Christmas season is probably an especially propitious time to cross our palms with silver. A special thank you to all readers who have already chipped in, your generosity is greatly appreciated. Regardless of that, we are honored by everybody's readership and hope we have managed to add a little value to your life.

The Federal Punch Bowl Removal Agency
US Money Supply and Credit Growth Continue to Slow Down Not to belabor the obvious too much, but in light of the recent sharp rebound, the stock market “panic window” is almost certainly closed for this year.* It was interesting that an admission by Mr. Powell that the central planners have not the foggiest idea about the future which their policy is aiming to influence was taken as an “excuse” to drive up stock prices. Powell's speech was regarded as dovish. If it actually was,...
The Non-Expiring Hedge - Precious Metals Supply and Demand
The “Risk Asset” Dip Not Worth Buying is on its Way The prices of the metals rose, gold by +$11 and silver by +$0.25. The question on everyone’s mind (including ours) is: what will cause a change in the gold price trend, or what will make gold go up in a large and durable way? And that leads to another way of looking at this question. Here is a very good technical reason to adopt a constructive attitude toward gold despite the fact that its nominal price in USD terms...

The Bien Pensants Agree: The World Doesn’t Need Gold – Precious Metals Supply and Demand

A smart and shrewd man.
Another excellent video from him.
As a spectator sport, I follow the gold market, almost compulsively follow the gold market. But at another level “junior gold miners” are the ultimate in useless human activity. We have a one thousand year supply of gold already mined. So there is an opportunity to skim a profit by wasting energy and despoiling nature? Someone has to wake up. But meanwhile what were those ticker symbols again?
