Mining stocks: dig deep for good dividends

Last year saw something of a row between central bankers, who absolutely insisted that any inflation you could see around was entirely transitory (and would be gone in a matter of months) and the rest of us who weren’t so sure.
Today, consumer prices in the US are rising at 7.5 per cent, the fastest since 1982. In the UK the figure is 5.4 per cent.
That’s frighteningly high. Given how hard it is to imagine central bankers being able to do much about global supply problems, it’s also clearly not very short term. It’s beginning to have an all-too-obvious effect, not just on living costs but on investment portfolios as well.
That’s unlikely to end soon. The market has long preferred fun tech stories and has discouraged oil and gas companies and miners from investing in exploration and production. So they haven’t.
Now we find ourselves in something of a supply crunch: we need more energy, more copper, more lithium and more steel — but none of these things are readily available.
So energy prices are high and rising, as are metals prices. Food prices will soon follow (they are linked to energy prices via fertiliser prices but with a delay due to long-term supermarket contracts with providers).

If there is any part of the argument around market performance that is settled at all it is surely that over the very long-term gold is one thing you can rely on to hold its value. Best to have some.
