Is gold the most compelling investment of 2025? Adrian Day, CEO of Adrian Day Asset Management, says yes, and backs it up with conviction. In this powerful conversation with Trey Reik, Adrian explains why gold offers the best risk-reward profile in decades, and why even conservative investors should pay close attention. Adrian breaks down the real drivers behind gold’s rise, from surging central bank demand and de-dollarization to the U.S. government’s “criminally irresponsible” handling of long-term debt. And while gold is making headlines, gold mining stocks remain deeply undervalued. Adrian shares why most investors are still on the sidelines, what’s starting to shift in 2025, and how miners now offer superior margins, strong balance sheets, and breakout potential.
