Thanks to important questions on current topics asked by our readers, we had a fantastic 2.5-hour Q&A session that covered many things on resource investors’ minds today. It was like a jam session touching lots of ideas it would take me months to cover in separate Speculator’s Digest posts.
If you missed it, I strongly encourage you to listen to the recording, or the parts of it covering the topics that interest you the most. (Timestamps below.)
A big thank you to all who participated, making it such a valuable conversation.
