Stock investors often shy away from including gold and mining stocks in their portfolios. But is there a place for these kinds of companies in a growth- and quality-oriented portfolio? Doug Gerlach, editor-in-chief of the award-winning Investor Advisory Service and the SmallCap Informer stocknewsletters, has ideas to improve your portfolio diversification with gold mining stocks.
For long-term stock investors, mid-sized companies occupy a sweet spot. These companies have enough history to allow for analysis of management strength and plenty of time to continue on their growth trajectories, but still fly low enough to allow for buying at reasonable valuations. This is why the Investor Advisory Service newsletter--rated #1 for newsletter performance in 2021 by Hulbert Ratings--follows a healthy selection of mid-sized stocks. In this session, Doug Gerlach, editor-in-chief, will review the reasons why you should consider midsized companies and provide some of his team's best stock ideas for the current market.

The prospects of higher inflation, supply chain disruptions, increasing energy prices, rising interest rates, and slowing consumer spending will all impact American businesses in 2022. Companies in some sectors and industries might perform better than others, though, if they possess the right qualities. In this session, Doug Gerlach, editor of the SmallCap Informer and Investor Advisory Service stock newsletters, will share his team's thoughts on the characteristics that will allow some stocks to stand out in 2022.
Gold prices dropped in the first half of 2021 but concerns about inflation and capital preservation may be part of a collection of macro factors that could drive higher prices for the rest of the year. For stock investors not accustomed to including gold in their portfolio composition, there may be some opportunities to consider in gold miners and royalty stocks. In this session, Doug Gerlach will discuss some of his favorite gold miners from the perspective of fundamental, long-term focused investors, taken from his market-beating SmallCap Informer newsletter.
