Everything in Resources Is Cheap (Rob Mullin)

Everything in Resources Is Cheap (Rob Mullin)

Rob Mullin returns, a year on from his last visit. The founder and CIO of Marathon Resource Advisors in San Francisco has been investing in natural resources since the early 1990s, running a long short book built around cash flow and dividends rather than stories.


We check in on the predictions he made last time, then work through what a genuinely multipolar world does to supply chains, correlations and the case for owning resources.


In this ep, Rob covers:


  • Why a 30 to 50% drawdown in precious metals equities was exactly what the doctor ordered, and how Agnico got to its cheapest relative PE in company history
  • The rare earths arbitrage: what happens when governments throw tens of billions at a sector used to surviving on tens of millions
  • Riding tanker rates from $30,000 a day to $300,000, and why he is now rotating toward dry bulk
  • Quickfire takes on nickel, PGMs, tin, tungsten, vanadium and silver versus gold
