In this in-depth interview, Lobo Tiggre breaks down the current outlook for gold, silver, and mining stocks, explaining what’s different in today’s cycle compared to 2011 and whether precious metals may have already peaked. We discuss taking profits, margin expansion for producers, central bank gold buying, China and Russia’s demand, and whether mining stocks are more attractive than physical metals right now. Lobo shares his views on producers vs. developers vs. junior mining companies and potential risks to the gold rally. We also explore copper, uranium, lithium, nickel, inflation, energy markets, oil, coal, and broader stock market opportunities.
