In the Q3 2021 Investor Letter, the fund highlighted a few stocks and A-Mark Precious Metals Inc. (NASDAQ:AMRK) is one of them. A-Mark Precious Metals Inc. (NASDAQ:AMRK) is a precious metals trading company. In the last three months, A-Mark Precious Metals Inc. (NASDAQ:AMRK) stock gained 42%. Here is what the fund said:
“A-Mark Precious Metals is a leading precious metals trading company and is well-positioned to exploit the gap between spot prices and what retail buyers for physical gold and silver are willing to pay. Longer-term investors will recognize A-Mark as a stock we bought in late 2019, and it was one of our biggest winners in 2020. Nonetheless, our estimate of the company’s peak earnings power was off by a mile. A-Mark made $166 million pre-tax over the past year, which was over twice its market cap when we bought it and 5x more profit than in any pre-pandemic twelve-month period. We believe that A-Mark’s spectacular earnings demonstrate that there are many people who want gold and silver now, and they are willing to pay up for it.”
