Kevin Duffy, Michael Oliver and William Sheriff are this week’s guests.

Kevin of Bearing Asset Management, a company that has been most successful in equity bear markets, explains why he believes we are facing a major bear market and how you can turn what will be a huge negative for most portfolios into sizeable gains over the next few years. One of Duffy’s strategies is to go long gold and gold shares and one of the most exciting new gold exploration stories is that of Golden Predator.

William talks about the company’s story and the always dependable and uncannily accurate Michael Oliver gives us his latest technical readings for the T-Bond, stocks, currencies, gold and commodities in general.
