In this discussion with Mining Stock Education at PDAC 2018, I discuss gold, commodity markets, arbitrage opportunities, niche metal investing, and how rational investors should approach the resource sector.

The discussion examines why investors should avoid treating mining stocks merely as leveraged bets on commodity prices. It also looks at how arbitrage, valuation, management quality, jurisdiction, and disciplined speculation can create better opportunities than simply chasing gold, metals, or market narratives.

Watch the full discussion below:
