Special Episode | SmarterMarkets™ Encore: Ideas Worth Repeating with Michael DiRienzo, President & CEO, The Silver Institute

from SmarterMarkets™ · host Abaxx Technologies Inc.

This week, we present SmarterMarkets™ Encore: Ideas Worth Repeating. We’re bringing back an episode that we brought you last May with Michael DiRienzo, President & CEO at The Silver Institute.   During the conversation, David Greely and Michael discuss the outlook for silver, its role in the energy transition, and the role it can and should play in investor portfolios and in our financial system in the 21st century. Those topics are as relevant now as they were last year.   One update: last year, we discussed that at the time, silver appeared undervalued as it took 100 ounces of silver to buy 1 ounce of gold. Of course, silver prices have climbed over the past year. Now it only takes roughly 60 ounces of silver to buy 1 ounce of gold in the physically deliverable gold and silver futures markets now trading on Abaxx Exchange in Singapore.
