The Mike Alkin Show

Welcome back to the Mike Alkin Show.

Today, we’ll talk to Frank Curzio, CEO of Curzio Research, about a topic even grandmothers are asking about…

Cryptocurrencies.

Frank is known for his deep-dive research… turning up great investments few have ever heard of. And he’s spent a significant amount of time wrapping his head around the crypto and blockchain landscape.

Frank starts off by giving a beginners overview of this asset class… including what investors should should look for in a crypto investment. He also gives us some red flags to watch out for in an industry where everyone is out to make a buck.

My next guest, Jean-Francois Ruel, is a 30-year veteran of the natural resource markets.

Today, Francois is leading the Luxembourg-based Tundra Capital Management Fund.

He shares why he feels we’re close to a top in the markets… why now is a great time to invest in the gold sector… and his favorite risk/reward opportunities.
