Wall Street Unplugged - Your Best Source For Finance, Investing & Economics

Welcome back to Wall Street Unplugged! This week's episode is a special one. A lot of ground is covered as I have, not one... but two separate interviews. I am first joined by CEO Greg Smith. Listen in as Greg introduces his company, JDL Gold Corp., and explains how they have the recipe to become next "superstar" in the mining industry. After just their first week of trading, Greg talks about the company's future plans and projects going forward. This is not your typical mining company... and apart from the insiders, not many people have heard of it. However, JDL Gold might have the greatest shareholder base I have ever seen in the industry. Just wait until you hear this list... Our second guest is current managing director & portfolio manager at Point View Wealth Management, John Petrides [40:45]. As we enter earnings season, John and I talk about recent stock evaluations. At one point, John compares today's market to 2008! After six straight quarters of negative earnings growth, John shares his thoughts

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged! Our guest is founder and chairman of Casey Research, Doug Casey. On this episode, Doug starts off by explaining why he believes an "inevitable" economic meltdown is around the corner. As Doug puts it, economic bubbles are forming in every financial market around us... except one. Lets face it, speculative investing is not for everyone. In the interview, however, Doug tells listeners how to follow his footsteps. Doug is the most successful speculative investor I know, so when he talks I listen. Tune in as Doug gives his bold forward looking predictions. You might not agree with everything… but like any risky investment, these are ideas that can give you extraordinary returns. Also, Doug gives us a sneak-peek of his new book Speculator. The story shares everything Doug has ever learned in the mining industry. This is a “must read” for every resource stock investor.

Welcome back! On this episode of Wall Street Unplugged, I’m joined by one of the most brilliant minds in the royalty industry, Nolan Watson. Nolan is the former CFO of Silver Wheaton and current CEO & President of Sandstorm Gold (SAND). Nolan starts off the interview by explaining how he works in one of the most unique, low-risk business models out there. He shows us why one of the worst periods in the resource sector, 2012-2015, has turned into a ‘game-changer’ for his company. You see, Sandstorm Gold is not a miner. It is a highly profitable royalty and streaming company. Companies like his know how to take advantage of the market in ANY condition, regardless of the price of gold. Listen in as Nolan explains how the company has added over 100 streams and royalties just over the past 24 months! He then reveals Sandstorm’s strong position looking forward… an outlook investors don’t want to miss. PS – Stay tuned for this week’s Educational Segment [42:39] as I talk about one of the most popular companies i

Not only did I get front-row seats, I was the only newsletter writer in

Our guest this week is founder and chairman of Brazil Resources, Amir Adnani. As we enter the early stages of a likely precious-metal bull market, few are more prepared than Amir. His company, Brazil Resources, has grown over 400% just this past year. On today's episode, Amir gives us some reassuring factors for this upcoming quarter and explains why investors have yet to miss the boat. Amir shares with us how Brazil Resources has something that 99% of other developmental-gold companies don't have. He then breaks down Brazil Resources recent 'under-the-radar' acquisition which expects to bring a massive 40% asset-base increase. After this, you'll see why Brazil Resources is in a very unique place. We then touch up on two of the most important factors a successful junior mining company can have. In addition, Amir breaks down a possible added benefit for shareholders covering a "hidden" sector at its 10-year-low. Amir then ends the episode telling us his goals for Brazil Resources and how their disciplined, com

Today I have another special interview with longtime friend, Marin Katusa, founder of Katusa Research. Marin starts off this episode by giving us his outlook concerning the gold and silver markets.

He then talks about "smart money" and his experience with warrants and why every accredited investor should be aware of these opportunities. Finally, Marin shares some interesting ideas on what to look forward to in other commodity sectors aside from gold and silver. These are sectors that not everyone will agree with, but potentially have tremendous upside in the near future.

They include depressed areas like natural gas, agriculture, and ethanol.

Jeff Phillips, resource financier and President of Global Market Development, is one of the best resource investors in the world.  He's built a small fortune over the past two decades by following a unique and disciplined approach to investing in this highly volatile sector.   In this 30 minute exclusive interview, Jeff shares some of his insights on what investors should look for before ever investing in a junior mining stock. He then explains the fundamentals behind owing warrants.  He says this practice is great for investors but not always good for companies who issue long-term warrants.   Jeff also breaks down the huge risks of owning small resource stocks since most companies will never see their signature projects go into production.  He believes these risks are sometimes overlooked by speculative investors - especially during bull markets like the one we are seeing today.   Finally, Jeff shares his three favorite junior mining ideas.  He says each name has incredible upside potential if gold and silve
