GoldSeek Radio Nugget -- Axel Merk: Chiefly invested in precious metals mining shares
Axel Merk, founder of Merk Investments manages over $1 billion in gold and gold related assets rejoin the show - he's optimistic on the PMs sector due in no small part to frothy financial markets and artificial interest rates. The longer that market extremes continue, the greater the expected reaction and potential for safe haven assets, such as the PMs.
Geoeconomic uncertainty continues to escalate amid uncertain business conditions. Case in point, a colleage of Axel's recently observed their electronic products double in price, during transit, emblematic of runaway prices. US housing is another key example, where builders and homeowners continue to benefit from low Fed rates.
Merk Investments remains chiefly invested in precious metals mining shares - Axel notes "... we're quite early in the (shares) cycle there..." Key point: the traditional 60/40 stocks to bonds ratio may no longer be adequate to protect investment portfolios, precious metals are an essential safe haven investment. Plus, be like "Elon Musk" invest in yourself, the best investment you'll ever make!
