Since 2012, Gold has severely underperformed the US stock market and most other equity markets around the world. Recently, many macroeconomists are suggesting that gold’s about to have a major comeback. And since the start of 2019, gold has been up about 18% this year. So on today’s show, we’re going to be talking about gold with the CEO of APMEX, which is the largest precious metals retailer in North America. So if you’re wanting to learn more about why gold has value, when it’s appropriate to own gold in your portfolio, or you simply have an interest in something to protect potential debasement, this should be an interesting discussion with a huge influencer in the space. So without further delay, here’s our discussion with Ken Lewis.
