Bron Suchecki, director of strategy at the Perth Mint joined us today to clarify a number of rumors and misunderstandings about the Mint's policies and accounting. Perth sells certificates that are backed up by the metal they have in inventory, awaiting fabrication. Buyers of the certificates are not charged for storage. This practice has led a number of reputable writers to question whether Perth really does have the metal and perhaps more importantly, what would happen if a shortage of metal prevented them from restocking their inventory. Bron explains that they never actually ran out of metal in 2008. They tapped other sources to keep the metal flowing, and if they were ever in a position where suddenly gold and silver became unobtainable, they would be forced to stop producing and keep the inventory in place. Additionally, Perth's auditors have certified their financial statements, never qualifying them due to an inventory shortage. While there are no sure things in this world, especially where counterparty risk exists, Perth is probably as close as one can get to minimization of this risk.

With the hurricane decimating the US's Eastern Seaboard, the point has yet again been illustrated that humanity must become more self-sufficient and look less to the government for the necessities of life. This means you need to prepare for potential disasters ahead of time and be ready for political and economic upheavals. We've experienced a number of these in the recent past and experience tells us that we need to be ready for more. Most importantly, this is actually a positive developement for humanity that will leave us all in a much better place.

Dave Kranzler started out like so many other college grads, on Wall Street. Then he saw the golden light and his life has never been the same. He started a fund that is 50 percent invested in physical gold and silver. The rest is invested in a concentrated mining stock portfolio. When an investor cashes they can receive their pro rata share of the physical metal portfolio. Dave loves going behind the government statistics to find the truth. And when it comes to the truth, the housing market is still in a depression. While the politicians lie, the numbers don't. Dave will become a regular on FSN.

Nolan Watson is young but has nonetheless had a storied career in resource development finance and investment. He was CFO of Silver Wheaton a wildly successful royalty investment company. Then he went on to found Sandstrom Gold and Sandstrom Metals and Energy. Their success has been well deserved. They are providing capital to competent mining ventures who have been otherwise shut out of the market. Sandstorm Gold has an extremely disciplined approach to choosing worthy candidates, which has helped lift the stock from 50 cents to $14 in just a few short years. Quite an accomplishment in these trying markets.
