The financial landscape of 2023 was nothing short of remarkable.
The S&P 500 saw a stunning 24% surge last year and that positive trajectory has extended into 2024 by another 5%.
But it’s all about to come to a screeching halt.
Experts are predicting that 2024 will bring a major crash.
Renowned financial educator, author, and investor Robert Kiyosaki has issued a stark warning – The S&P is about to crash by 70%.1
He’s not talking about a soft landing. It’s going to be a hard crash.
Inflation is at a 40-year high, national debt is rising, government spending is unchecked and rate cuts are on the horizon, which are all indicators of a coming recession.
All of this is brewing a perfect storm for what is projected to be the largest market crash of our lifetime.
His advice? Buy Gold.
Central banks have quietly been preparing for the inevitable, buying up gold at record rates.2
Gold is already responding to the coming market meltdown, reaching past a record high of $2,200 per ounce.
And it’s expected to potentially soar much higher, meaning it could be the perfect time to get in on the action.
As the gold market prepares for takeoff, gold stocks may prove to offer even more value than buying gold bars and one NYSE American-listed gold stock has caught our attention.
Junior mining companies in particular are poised for success and this company has been flying under the radar despite having an enormous amount of potential and close ties with the world’s largest gold producer.
Fury Gold Mines Limited (TSX:FURY) (NYSE-A:FURY) is a well financed high-grade gold exploration company strategically positioned in some of Canada’s most prolific mining regions.
Look, we get it. Almost every gold company claims to have high grade gold.
But, with Fury Gold Mines Limited (TSX:FURY) (NYSE-A:FURY), the numbers don’t lie.
Fury’s targeted approach and revised exploration plan gave them an expanded footprint of high-grade gold, with discoveries exceeding 30 grams per ton (g/t) gold over 3.5 meters3 and a hit rate of nearly 55% at the Hinge target contingent with the company’s Eau Claire resource.
To put that into perspective, anything above 8 grams per ton is considered high grade.
