I do believe the safe route to profit from the gold exploration cycle is Franco-Nevada. FNV has a deep portfolio of royalty rights and the cash to invest in additional juniors prospects at favorable prices. Junior Gold Exploration at [Zeal](http://www.zealllc.com/2012/jnrexp2.htm). Seven arguments for gold stocks: [Casey Research](http://www.caseyresearch.com/articles/why-are-we-certain-gold-producers-will-soar?ppref=CRX007ED0612A).

Fed heads [Lockhart](http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2012/06/28/feds-lockhart-open-to-further-action-if-economy-weakens/) and [Dudley](http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2012/06/29/feds-dudley-says-fomc-signals-central-bank-will-act-again-if-needed/) are open to more easing. As for Friday’s face ripper, I have not even tried to understand the European news: [Sober Look.](http://soberlook.com/2012/06/cornered-by-other-eurozone-leaders.html) What I do know is policy makers will actively choose to debase or society will default. Bill gross seems to be thinking inflate or default at [Pimco](http://www.pimco.com/EN/Insights/Pages/Whats-In-A-Name.aspx).
