The prospects for companies in the gold mining sector have rarely ever looked better. Balance sheets are strong, management is experienced, outlook for the underlying gold & silver precious metals is optimistic, and many of the big players are nicely profitable and have solid cash flows. M&A activity is starting to pick up in the smaller development & exploration players, which is where Axel Merk, manager of a gold mining fund, expects the biggest returns to take place. And most important, he thinks we are still in the early phase of this bull market in miners.

Mr. Merk is also an expert on macro trends, hard money, international investing, and on building sustainable wealth, and he is a pioneer in the use of strategic currency investing to seek diversification.
