‘Greatest Miner Opportunity In A Generation’ is Here, Says Axel Merk

Axel Merk, Founder and CEO of Merk Investments, declares that we are in the "single greatest margin expansion opportunity for the mining sector in a generation" in this exclusive interview with Kitco News Anchor Jeremy Szafron. Merk, whose firm has over $2.9 billion in assets , dives deep into the historic breakout in gold and silver, arguing that the Federal Reserve's policy of "foaming the markets" will continue to fuel the rally in hard assets.

He also makes a significant call, naming former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh as the ideal candidate for the next Fed Chair to "reform the Fed in earnest". Merk gives his outlook on the juniors, the majors, and explains why he believes "institutional participation is still modest", providing a major catalyst for the sector. Finally, he unpacks the historical parallels to the 1929 market crash, providing a unique context on the policies of Presidents Coolidge and Hoover that every investor needs to hear.
