The Gold Collar Investor


Apr 20, 2020

In today’s show, Pancham interviews Russell Gray, co-host, The Real Estate Guys Radio Show

We start this show with Russell giving his views on Wall Street investing. Has the coronavirus pandemic simply highlighted the flaws in our financial system? Will the financial system ever go back to what it was in the Pre-COVID era? Russell shares some interesting insights on this topic.

As the pandemic wreaks havoc in our credit-based financial system, investors need to take a long-hard look at their portfolios and determine the best approach going forward. Russell shares how a low-interest regime can open up some excellent investment opportunities in precious metal and of course, real estate.
