About this video
Paul Buitink talks to veteran investor and publisher Grant Williams about who to trust, how to do your own homework and what investment mindset to have in these uncertain times.
Grant explains how he protects his purchasing power through real assets such as copper, oil, gold and silver. He's playing defence and stays away from crypto currencies. It's about generational wealth for him.
He emphasizes that you should do your own homework and not blindly trust so-called gurus. The world has become an uncertain place. Trust is gone and will take a while to rebuild.
