Why Are Central Banks Buying So Much Gold? — With David Erfle

Joining us on The Daily Dive this afternoon is David Erfle, founder of JuniorMinerJunky.com. Today on the show, David dives into what’s happening with gold: miners’ performance relative to the precious metal, his gold price prediction for this year, and why China’s central bank — and the rest of the world — is buying so much gold.

David Erfle stumbled upon the mining space in 2003 as he was looking to invest into a growing sector of the market. After researching the gains made from the 2001 bottom in the tiny gold and silver complex, he became fascinated with this niche market. David founded the Junior Miner Junky subscription-based newsletter in April 2017 and writes a weekly column for precious metals news service Kitco.com, whose website attracts nearly a million visits every day.
