It’s hard to remember a time when the press wasn’t talking about Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. The US two-party system is sustained by one-sided media coverage. However, Presidential candidate and Libertarian Party nominee, Gary Johnson may be forcing his way onto the political stage.

Also a candidate in the 2012 election, the former New Mexico governor saw few opportunities for sharing his views via public debate. However, recently he and running mate, Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld had made significant gains. A CNN/ORC national survey puts Johnson at 13%, just shy of the 15% that would secure him a podium at the national debates.

As precious metals resume their long-term bull market in 2016, investors are once again asking the perennial question – should I buy ETFs or physical metals?
With the gold price on the rise, gold funds and stocks recently experienced the largest one-week inflows on record. Mainstream investors seem to prefer "paper gold" in times of uncertainty. But are these assets the right choice for your portfolio?

Rickards said he thinks we are at the beginning of an extended gold bull market, possibly similar to the late 1990s when the price of the yellow metal went up 615% over a 12-year period. He conceded gold can be volatile, so he doesn’t pay as much attention to short-term fluctuations in price. But he did note an interesting fact in the wake of the recent price jumps after some major world events:
What impresses me is that gold going up immediately after the Brexit vote, or gold going up a little bit after the Turkey coup, that you can understand. Those are kind of flight to quality, fear-trade reactions. But gold didn’t go down a lot when those things were over…It’s got a very good foundation – kind of around the $1,330 level, so it seems poised to go up a lot from here.”
