Yamana Gold Will Shine And I'm Buying The Pullback

Gold and silver have been on a tear since central banks around the globe have been racing to debase their currencies in an effort to increase the money supply. First we had the European Central Bank's announcement of an unlimited bond-buying program.

I believe that gold and silver miners may outperform the metals over the next year or so as their correlation with the metals return to historical norms. In this article, I want to highlight a gold miner that I am buying on the recent pullback off of the highs. That company is Yamana Gold (AUY).........................READ MORE
