IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor caught up with Simon Popple, who writes the Brookville Capital Intelligence Report, to ask about what is happening.

    Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst The article speculates about the role of gold in 2020. We think is too early to understand what is going on, only that due to the signs conducive to a market crash or at least a big correction soon gold (& crypto) is becoming more than a hedge place where to get refuge from the big storm. What can we say? Think on the long term, prepare for the worst, work for the best.
