By E.B. Tucker, editor, Strategic Trader I am very confident about gold right now. After spending six years in a crippling bear market, gold came to life over the summer. With little press attention, gold quickly shot from $1,270 in early May to nearly $1,550 in early September. I’ve gone on record predicting gold will surpass its 2011 high of around $1,900. That’s about a 22% gain from here. And I expect that to happen in 2020. A new bull market is underway… and I don’t see it slowing down anytime soon. Gold mining stocks – which provide leverage to a rising gold price – will surge. I’ll explain why in more detail below. But they’re not the only way to profit as this rally gains momentum. Today, I’ll show you another way to participate in the coming gold boom that involves miners… and can limit your risk… First, let me break down why the gold mining industry is a good bet right now… Recommended Link | HAVE YOU EVER SEEN AN INVESTMENT CODE LIKE THIS? YOU’RE NOT ALONE. 99.99% of Americans have never seen these codes before. That code belongs to a secret security called an “Omega share.” You’ll never see these codes on Yahoo Finance or CNBC…and yet they hold the keys to incredible wealth through extraordinary gains like 218%... 220%... 277%... 350%... 420%... 433%... 650%... 1,054%... 2,450%... 3,922%... 5,509%... and 6,200%.

Tucker’s Explosive Profits Summit. | | | The World’s Worst Business As we say all the time, gold mining is the world’s worst business. It’s capital-intensive. It’s labor-intensive. If a gold mine turns up in a difficult country, its leaders endlessly extort the operators. So if it’s such a bad business, why would you invest in it? Because the best feature of gold miners is how they perform when gold surges higher in price. For example, take gold’s current price of about $1,556 per ounce. Many mining companies do not make money, or barely break even, at that price. However, if the price moves $100 higher, they’ll be in the black. That means a small move higher in gold has the potential to turn a mining firm from a money-loser into a money-maker almost overnight. Few industries offer that kind of operating leverage. Gold miners are ultra-sensitive to movements in the price of gold. When it moves higher, they surge. By and large, the gold mining industry hasn’t seen profits for years. That doesn’t get into the industry’s terrible track record of what to do with the profits in those infrequent cases. After years of this, investors had enough with the industry. The 2013-2019 downturn in gold prices shown in the chart above was the final straw. Companies had little ability to raise money to run the business, much less look for new sources of gold. That’s a key part of the mining industry. Every ounce mined is one fewer sitting in inventory. Imagine a shoe store that stopped ordering from its suppliers because its owner ran out of money. He sold existing inventory to pay bills. After a while, shelves get thin. If shoe demand unexpectedly surges, he won’t be ready for it. Each year, the gold mining industry pulls close to 110 million ounces from the ground. It takes about 10 years to develop a gold mine. The industry, starved for investment capital, has neglected the business of replacing the ounces it pulls from mines each year. Pierre Lassonde, co-founder of Franco-Nevada (FNV), recently pointed this out. He said that for the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s, in each decade, the industry found one 50-million-ounce gold deposit, several 30-million-ounce deposits, and numerous 5- to 10-million-ounce deposits. He went on to say: But if you look back at the last 15 years, we found no 50-million-ounce deposits, no 30-million-ounce deposits, and only very few 15-million-ounce deposits. As the chart below shows, mines currently in production are running out of ore. By 2024, just a few years from now, the 100-plus million ounces produced from existing mines today will fall to fewer than 90 million. Lassonde goes on to say the industry has not properly invested in replacement supply of mined gold. This is Economics 101. When supply dwindles at the same time demand surges, you’ve got the makings of a frenzy. Where will new gold supplies come from? It takes a decade to permit and develop a mine. That could spark a surge in demand for gold. If it does, the gold market – and gold miners – would jump higher quickly. There’s simply not enough supply. That’s why gold miners are a great option for getting some exposure to the next gold boom. But there’s an even better way to play this trend… Recommended Link | 1.9 billion 5G smartphones by 2023. This tiny company stands to profit. Lately, it seems that everyone is talking about 5G technology... But, does anyone really know what it is? 5G will provide users more coverage at a faster rate, especially for power-hungry streaming content like 4k video and VR… Yet 5G is still in its infancy. If you don't know which companies stand to benefit – like Silicon Valley executive and angel investor Jeff Brown does – then you're going to get left behind. Three years ago, Jeff predicted NVIDIA would be the number one tech stock of that year. Investors had a chance to make 10 times their money on NVIDIA. Now he's singled out one company that makes the device to power the 5G revolution… Taking this breakthrough technology from $0 to $100 billion in a matter of months. | | | More Upside, Less Risk Gold royalty companies have all the upside benefit of mining stocks – without many downside risks. I know the gold royalty industry inside and out. I have deep connections in the business. As a director on the board of a successful gold royalty company, I know big things are coming for the space. A gold royalty company doesn’t actually produce any gold. Instead, it lays claim to a small percentage – a royalty – on the gold that gold miners produce. A gold royalty gives the holder a small percentage, usually 1-2%, of all the gold ever produced from a mine. The royalty has a few very important features. A royalty survives even when a gold mining company fails. Say Company A owes the royalty holder 1% of all the gold produced at its mine. It goes belly-up. Company B buys the mine out of bankruptcy. In this case, Company B still owes the royalty holder 1% of everything that comes out of the ground. A royalty covers future discoveries of gold on a property. Most mines go on producing far longer than planned. Once the operator is 2,000 meters and $1 billion into a project, it’s reluctant to leave. Usually, it spends money drilling looking for more gold at the bottom of the mine. The operator often finds it. The royalty holder gets 1% of that, too. A royalty owner doesn’t care if a mining company endlessly issues stock diluting its shareholders. This happens all the time in the mining business. Operators never seem to make money and never run their companies properly over the long term. But the royalty cannot be diluted. 1% is always 1% from now until the end of time. If the price of gold surges, the royalty owner captures all the upside. Say the mining company produces 100,000 ounces of gold in a year. It gives the royalty company 1,000 ounces (1%) which the royalty company sells right away. If gold goes up $100 that year, the 1,000 ounces yields $100,000 more than it did last year. Meanwhile, the royalty holder’s cost didn’t change. The day it bought the royalty was the last dollar it paid the mining company, even if that was 20 years ago. As you can see, the royalty business has many advantages compared to actually mining gold. You can get started today by looking into shares of Franco-Nevada (FNV). It’s the largest company in the sector and one of the safest ways to take advantage of the coming boom. Regards, E.B. Tucker Editor, Strategic Trader P.S.
