Brien Lundin, editor of Gold Newsletter and host of the New Orleans Investment Conference, shared his thoughts on the well-known event's past, present and future on its 50th anniversary.

"You don't have to be a genius to see the opportunity here — we know that as long as the metals prices keep progressing, or even just stay at these levels, that the miners are going to have to follow. So it's a great opportunity I think, and everybody needs to look at it very hard and make sure they're positioned well for it," Lundin said.
