A Street View of the Current Gold Market: An Interview With Trader Roy | A Look At This Week’s Show: -Gold should see $1850 in the next 60 days and should be very bullish in 2012 as well. -Two macroeconomic events that will drive gold over the next year are loose monetary policy and the potential collapse of an EU member nation. -Gold should maintain steady double digit growth through at least 2015.

Great Stuff !!!
I look forward to the weekly commentary and would really like to see it thrice weekly, or Mon-Wed-Fri. I feel they are very informative and have given me new angles to view the economy and my world from. Thank-You! Larry in Tampa Bay.
Cool!
Love the Podcast very informative please keep them coming, it looks like I'm the only one listening.
Excellent, wise and informative
This podcast is excellent, I'm surprised it doesn't have more reviews, I guess it's still unknown to many, which makes it even better. It's not for financial beginners, you need to understand basic financial terminology, but it's not technical. They do not push any products and they have a long term view of current events. If what you want is a tip for a stock to buy today, this may not be for you, go and find a salesman to listen to.
This weekly commentary goes beyond the economic and financial angle, to include the geopolitical games the world plays and the catalysts precipitaded both by the bright and the fools at the highest spheres of power. McAlvany is very smart and has accumulated a lot of unbiased knowledge, and his host David keeps the talk flowing on tempo. It's well rehersed and they are not scared to tell the truth and point some fingers, something that is often missing in other knowledgeable financial podcasters. Thank you for that.
