CHART OF THE MONTH

Following the announcement of massive fiscal stimulus in Germany and rising concerns about economic policy uncertainty in the U.S., we’re seeing a significant shift in where investors are putting their money. Capital is flowing out of U.S. ETFs (shown in blue) and into European ETFs (shown in black), with both trends accelerating sharply in recent weeks—signaling a growing shift in investor sentiment.


INVESTMENT WISDOM

“We continue to hold a firm conviction that a fundamental shift in global monetary policy is imminent - one that will send gold prices far higher than anyone currently expects. The great gold bull market has begun. Yet, remarkably, it is unfolding with almost no participation from Western investors. This absence of interest offers enterprising investors a rare, generational buying opportunity.”
