This week, producer Jake Lim asks the question: “Should we be investing in gold?”, because the precious metal’s price has gone up about 26% year-to-date, and has attempted to break its all-time high price twice this year. For this conversation, he will be speaking to Robin Lee, former CFO of the World Gold Council, as well as the former CEO of HelloGold, which ceased operations in 2023.
