John Fenneck of Feneck Consulting joins the podcast for this week's long-form. John has a unique approach to the junior mining sector as he typically see's these equities as something which will require swift action. Investors with the buy and hold mentality, he believes, will only risk losing money, and he provides some recent examples.

He also believes the general financial sector is in dire trouble. With the recent run in treasuries, we talk about the possibilities of one more fed rate hike this year, what it means for commercial and residential real estate, and what precious metals might do in a response to poor news in these regards.

We'd like to thank our sponsors:
