Record Gold Prices on the Way? - Chris Vermeulen #5307
Summary: On this episode of FSN, I catch up with Chris Vermeulen on what\u2019s happening with the metals, as well as other sectors subject to the effects of inflation and market trends. The metals have been struggling for the last year, and when you look at the miners, they\u2019re starting to break to new highs. We\u2019re looking for a pause/pull-back and then a surge higher to indicate that the sector is about to take off. Tune in for more information and predictions from myself and Vermeulen.
