People are asking me if gold’s breakout is the real deal.

Gold is silencing all the haters – even me!

I’ll admit, I had my doubts.

I’m fed up with precious metals. 

I’m tired of all the failed breakouts and the sideways chop.

First, gold failed to hold its breakout to new all-time highs.

Then, the silver-to-gold ratio undercut a critical shelf of former lows.

The buzz around gold’s new all-time high is growing – and for good reason.

New all-time highs will likely become a regular occurrence in the coming quarters.

I’ve had palladium on my mind for a while – long before gold posted a new all-time high.

Why palladium?

Investors love a good gold debate.

“Is it a commodity, or is it a currency?”

I’d argue it’s both.
