Gold gets sold back below $2,000, confirming the weakness we’ve been noting in recent days.

It’s a perfect time to hear from our friend Rick Rule about how he uses a specific strategy to minimize risk and leverage gains in the volatile junior mining sector.

May 17, 2023

Dear Fellow Investor,

On Monday I told you that gold had shifted into neutral and “the trend is not our friend.”

Yesterday, that trend resolved with a big sell-off in the metals, sending gold down $27 and back well below the $2,000 threshold.

Today gold’s down about another $7, while silver is flat.

The bottom line, as I’ve discussed recently, is that investor sentiment is ebbing and flowing in regard to what the Fed is going to do next. When the view is positive toward a pause in their June meeting, investors plow into gold and equities.

Right now, we’re in a trough in regards to that sentiment, and gold has once again settled back.

Again, I believe this will be resolved over the next few weeks. For a number of reasons, the Fed just can’t continue to hike rates...and both gold and the bond market is predicting some sort of a big blow-up, in some sector, by September.

So this will remain a bull market...and it will kick back into high gear in the weeks ahead.

That understood, how do we maximize our potential while minimizing our risk?

The most popular strategy employed by the pros to turbo-charge returns and cut risk in junior mining investment is investing in private placements.

Typically available to accredited investors, this usually involves working directly with a company to buy “units” consisting of common shares priced at a discount to the current market, with the units also containing a warrant allowing you to buy either half or whole common share at a higher strike price.

Most of my investments in junior mining companies are in the form of private placements, and my friend Rick Rule — considered one of the most successful mining speculators in history — also uses this technique.

There’s lots to understand about this strategy, but fortunately Rick just recorded a full review of how and why to use private placements — including his tips and strategies.

It’s all part of Rick’s “Rule Classroom” — an online educational resource for natural resource investors and speculators.

Founded last year by Rick and Albert Lu, Rule Classroom is the best online learning community for natural resource investors that I’ve ever seen. Rick and Albert are producing in-depth video courses, interviews and a community of natural resource investors that everyone from newbies to experienced hands can learn from.
