Dennis Tubbergen hosts Simon Popple on RLA Radio to discuss investment strategies in the precious metals and mining sectors. Simon, a seasoned financial writer and commodities expert, emphasizes the importance of investing in tangible assets like gold and silver, especially in the current economic climate marked by high global debt. He explains the benefits of gold, including its limited supply, global recognition, and liquidity. Simon also touches on the potential of silver, particularly in clean energy applications, and the relevance of the gold-silver ratio. He advocates for a diversified investment approach, combining physical metals with mining equities to leverage production efficiencies and mitigate risks. The discussion also covers the advantages of investing in mining companies, the impact of leverage on returns, and the importance of geographic and currency diversification in portfolio construction.

Mr. Popple started a newsletter with MoneyWeek called Metals & Miners, and when they were acquired, he set up Gold Speculator with Jim Rickards.
