Description
Stijn Schmitz welcomes back Michael Gentile to the show. Michael Gentile is a Strategic Investor and a Co-Founder of Bastion Asset Management. Gentile remains very bullish on precious metals, maintaining a five-to-ten-year investment horizon. He argues that short-term volatility in gold and silver does not alter the long-term macro thesis driven by unassailable U.S. debt levels. With U.S. debt approaching $40 trillion and interest expenses potentially consuming 40% of government revenues, Gentile sees currency debasement as the only path forward, which favors gold.
