Bizarro World Podcast,
with Nick and Gerardo
July 15, 2024
Gold mining stock ETFs are at 52-week highs. (This one in particular has doubled since March.)
It was only four months ago they were at 52-week lows.
Such are the swings in mining, and particularly in junior mining. The ups and downs can be emotional and require guidance.
That’s where we start our discussion in this week’s episode of Investing in Bizarro World.
From there you get a metals and mining stock recap, including gold, silver, copper and lithium. This comes as a September rate cut gets fully priced into the market and gold has broken back out above $2,400 with new all-time highs in reach.

It may not just be declining rates and a weaker dollar that is driving gold. There remains significant geopolitical instability and the US presidential situation has moved from farcical to dangerous. We discuss what led to this moment in terms of the Fourth Turning.
Then a look at how major utility CenterPoint Energy (NYSE: CNP), which has nearly a $20 billion market cap, handled Hurricane Beryl in Houston. It included resorting to using Whataburger’s app to track power outages because its own app was derelict.
From there we do a bit of market watching, which includes a discussion of rate sensitive sectors like utilities and REITs, and how we’re looking at them in Foundational Profits for longer-term capital management.
And Gerardo call’s out a new uranium discovery made by Skyharbour Resources (TSX-V: SYH)(OTC: SYHBF) this month in Canada’s Athabasca Basin.
As always, you get your money’s worth this week in the 277th episode of Investing in Bizarro World.
