TND Podcast Spotlight: Jay Taylor’s Turning Hard Times Into Good Times |

Axel Merk and David Wolfin return. When the Swiss National Bank (SNB) recently chose to stop pegging the Swiss Franc to the Euro, not only did the Swiss Franc appreciate by about 30% immediately but the gold price began to rise vigorously as well. Is there a connection between the SNB’s decision and gold, or was the correlation of gold and the Swiss Franc simply a coincidence? Also, does the decision by the ECB to issues endless amounts of money destine Europe to a “banana republic” status? Those are questions for Axel Merk. David Wolfin will update us on the rapid growth path Avino Silver and Gold Mines is on, just as the gold and silver prices are turning higher.

Axel Merk

Axel Merk is the President and CIO of Merk Investments, manager of the Merk Funds, which he founded in Switzerland (1994) by pooling the investments he had been managing for his friends starting in college. He then relocated the firm to California in 2001 as a SEC registered investment advisory.

Merk is an expert on macro trends as well as an innovator in gold and currency investing. He is a sought-after speaker, contributor and author (his book, Sustainable Wealth, describes how the greater economic universe works, how it might affect and how to manage your finances to seek financial stability). Axel Merk holds a B.A. in Economics (magna cum laude) and a M.Sc. in Computer Science from Brown University.

Merk’s insight and expertise have allowed him to predict major economic developments (he identified the credit bubble and moved his clients out of real estate and the faltering U.S. dollar, into hard currencies and gold ahead of the equity and credit market collapse of last decade).

David Wolfin

Pres. And CEO, Director of Avino Silver and Gold Mines brings 26 years of experience in mining and finance. He learned the business from the ground up, starting as a geologist’s assistant in Nevada, a metallurgist’s assistant at the Avino mine in Mexico and later in a number of mining and exploration-related capacities. In the late 1980s, Mr. Wolfin worked on the floor of the Vancouver Stock Exchange and also for several brokerage houses, gaining a solid foundation in the finance side of the industry.

Since 1990, Mr. Wolfin has worked for the Oniva Group of Resource companies, including Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (President & Director); Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd. (Vice-President Finance & Director); Coral Gold Resources Ltd. (President & Director); and Levon Resources Ltd. (Director). In his various roles with these firms, he has helped raise over C$50 million.
