Adam and Blake Anderson from WealthGuard Advisors kick off the new year with a deep dive into some of the biggest forces moving markets right now, including precious metals volatility and major geopolitical developments in Venezuela.
In this episode:
- Why gold and silver had their strongest year since the late 1970s and what caused the sharp year end volatility
- How industrial demand and supply constraints are driving silver higher
- Why central banks around the world are stockpiling gold and what risks remain
- The difference between physical silver and paper silver and how ETFs like SLV fit in
- How silver miners and precious metals ETFs may benefit from current conditions
- What a more open Venezuela could mean for global oil supply
- Why Chevron stands out as the most direct beneficiary of Venezuela developments
- Other energy and infrastructure beneficiaries including Exxon Mobil, Schlumberger, and refiners
- Why oil hitting the market is likely a multi year process rather than an immediate supply shock
- How Venezuela’s rare earth and precious metal reserves could impact mining and materials stocks
