Gold Forum ghost town highlights investor apathy

I experienced a similar feeling sitting in the Broadmoor Hotel convention centre in Colorado Springs, Colorado, during the Gold Forum Americas event.

Crowds stayed away from the Gold Forum Americas event

The bustle and excitement of past years was absent as most delegates physically stayed away due to concerns about COVID-19.
