Over the course of the year The Golden Investor has written on different subjects, but also on different equities and financial products. Since the start of the year The Golden Investor was bullish on precious metals like gold and silver. Following the great resurgence of sustainable equities The Golden Investor also turned bullish on copper in late August. All three commodities have performed well since the time of writing, as can be seen in Figure 1.
