Find out why adjusting your investment models to fit seductively low interest rates can be a perilous game, and learn how Jonathan keeps a realistic view on investment risks.

The financial tides are turning, and with Jonathan's seasoned perspective, we navigate the complex relationship between rising interest rates, global debt, and their effects on the corporate world. Discover why gold and Bitcoin might be the life rafts you need for hedging against counterparty risks, and get Jonathan's exclusive take on the safety net of royalty companies in the gold sector. Through our conversation, arm yourself with the strategies to maintain profitability in your investments despite economic stagnation plaguing countries like Canada and Europe.

Finally, we tackle the thorny thicket of Environmental, Social, and Governance issues in investing. Feel the pulse of the investment community's recent pushback against ESG strategies and understand how ideological extremism may be distorting the energy markets.
