Description

The new U.S. jobs report is out, but should you believe the numbers? And after a trying week for precious metals, just what should investors expect in the months ahead? You don’t have to figure it out alone: Eric Sprott is back once again to break down all the gold and silver news you need to manage your portfolio.

On this edition of the Wrap-Up, you’ll hear:

• The unusual things happening in gold

• Why you can’t trust the U.S. jobs data

• Plus: are we headed back to the gold standard

“While I’m on the jobs report, the one data point that I did see is that the participation rate went down by .2%. Well, I can tell you, .2% of the total workforce available for work—which is about 200 million—is like 400,000 people [that] all of a sudden weren’t participating, even though theoretically, 196 [thousand] joined… But as you know, I’m not a believer in this data. I think it’s, for the most part, fabricated.”
