Preview:Todd "Bubba" Horwitz argues the broad market is vulnerable to a major correction, with downside he pegs at 40% to 60%, while still emphasizing hedged trading and disciplined risk control. He is bearish equities and crude oil, constructive on gold/silver and platinum at current levels, selectively positive on grains and some ag-related stocks, and bullish on Bitcoin only over a longer horizon.

Silver's Next Big Move: What Every Silver Investor Needs to Know Now - Rick Rule

CPI vs. real-world inflation critique

Preview:Rick Rule joins host Darrell Thomas to discuss gold, silver, and Battle Bank. Rule views gold as savings—he buys physical gold with every dollar of conference profit and stores it at Battle Bank because he believes the dollar is losing 8%+ purchasing power annually, not the 2.6% CPI claims. Silver, by contrast, is pure speculation for him: he will only buy when it is widely hated and mocked, which it currently is not. The conversation doubles as a pitch for Battle Bank, now open with $130M in deposits and $80M in gold deposits, offering multi-currency accounts, checkbook IRAs, and credit lines collateralized by precious metals stacks.

Evidence: Gold Is About to Bottom—Then Surge | Christopher Aaron

Mining equities and Canadian Venture Index breakout thesis

Preview:Christopher Aaron sees gold bottoming in the $3,800–$4,000 zone, supported by a multi-year resistance-turned-support level and a falling wedge pattern. He expects a meaningful rally in gold, silver, and miners through H2 2026 into early 2027, followed by a potential significant top. On silver, he targets a bounce from $50 back toward $80–$100, but warns that if the market believes the Fed succeeds on inflation, silver could eventually fall back to the $20s–low $30s where industrial demand actually exists. The Canadian Venture Index's 13-year base signals a breakout in mining stocks within 12–18 months.

Jeff Clark’s 5 Best Mining Stock Picks Right Now

Junior mining investment frameworkPacific Silver — Mexico high-grade silver anomaly

Preview:Jeff Clark, at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference, lays out his four-category junior mining investment framework (pre-discovery, pre-resource, resource builder, pre-producer) and pitches five specific stock picks across those categories: A2 Gold (Nevada gold resource builder), Pacific Silver (Mexico high-grade silver with a potential source anomaly), Stallion Uranium (Athabasca pre-discovery), SunPeak Metals (Saudi Arabia gold pre-discovery), and Getty Copper (BC copper pre-resource). He emphasizes that these have pulled back from January highs, creating attractive entry points, and is personally overweight all five. He also honestly addresses the key risk for each.

The Dollar Is About to Reverse | Gold, Silver, & Oil Are About to Explode Higher | Tavi Costa

Fed policy and interest rate outlook

Preview:Tavi Costa argues the dollar and interest rate curve are poised for a major reversal after overshooting on geopolitical fears, which will act as a powerful tailwind for precious metals and commodities. He sees gold and silver near a bottoming process, expects silver to reach triple digits within 3 years, and views oil's pullback as a digestion pause within a broader commodity super-cycle. The Fed is "bluffing" on hawkishness — the US fiscal position makes a sustained tightening cycle unsustainable.

Matthew Piepenburg: Central Banks Now Own More Gold Than US Treasuries

Fed monetary policy under Chair Worsh

Preview:Matthew Piepenburg of Von Greyerz presents a deeply conviction-driven thesis that gold is in an irreversible secular bull market, supported by accelerating sovereign debt, central bank gold accumulation, and the weaponization of the US dollar. He argues that gold's recent pullbacks are classic shakeouts within a much larger structural shift where gold is replacing US Treasuries as the world's trusted collateral. He contends Fed Chair Worsh is dovish in practice despite hawkish talk, inflation is systemically understated (likely 8–12%), and the West is losing control of gold price discovery to the East.

Why I'm Still Buying Gold & Waiting on Silver | Rick Rule

Nations Royalty and indigenous capacity

Preview:Rick Rule sits down with Darl (The Money Levels Show) at the Rule Symposium 2026. The conversation covers the growth of the conference, Rule's unwavering gold-saving conviction (buying every dollar of after-tax conference proceeds in physical gold), his speculative-but-patient approach to silver, the thesis behind Nations Royalty and Uranium Royalty, and a detailed pitch for Battle Bank — his new community bank offering multi-currency accounts, gold-backed lending, and self-directed IRAs. Gold at $4,100 is framed as "not down" on a multi-decade view; silver is for buying only when hated, which it isn't yet.

She sees consumer stress building through rising bankruptcies, delinquencies, and a plunge in labor force participation to 1976 lows. On the Fed, she's cautiously optimistic about Kevin Warsh's data-dependent approach but skeptical that rate cuts arrive soon. Gold, she says, has found a floor after flushing "tourists" and is attractive as credit cracks emerge.

Steve Hanke: Gold is Going to $6,000 as Inflation Comes Roaring Back

Money supply growth (M2, Divisia M4) and inflationFederal Reserve policy under Chairman Warsh

Preview:Professor Steve Hanke maintains a structurally bullish gold thesis ($6,000 target) despite the recent pullback, which he attributes to dollar strength and rotation into tech. He argues M2 and Divisia M4 money supply are accelerating — Divisia M4 growing at ~6.7% YoY, above his 6% "golden growth rate" — meaning the "inflation genie is out of the bottle." He sees a commodity super cycle beginning, is outright bearish on bonds, and expects longer-end yields to keep rising. On the Fed, he's cautiously optimistic about Chairman Warsh potentially embracing quantity-theory frameworks but is waiting for clearer signals. He also discussed his forthcoming book advocating currency boards as a replacement for discretionary central banking in developing countries.

The Beginning Of A Huge Oil Bull Market

US shale productivity declineIEA super-glut forecast errors

Preview:Josh Young of Bison Interests argues we are in the early-to-mid stages of a multi-year oil bull market driven by declining US shale well productivity, rising production costs, and disappointing new discoveries. He views the recent Iran/Strait of Hormuz spike to $107 and collapse to $67 WTI as a sideshow to the longer structural thesis. Young is most constructive on misunderstood small-cap onshore producers (especially those with asset retirement obligations) and onshore drilling/services companies trading at fractions of replacement cost. He is skeptical of consensus "super glut" forecasts from the IEA, calling them systematically wrong for four straight years, and is cautious on midstream/downstream where he believes cyclical risks are underpriced. He sees US SPR draws as loans that turn structurally bullish in Q3 2027 when commercial buyers must refill them. For natural gas, he is moderately bullish anticipating $4-5.50/MCF depending on oil price levels.

Why This New Copper Spinout Has Huge Upside

Freedom Copper structure and US critical minerals policyBLM co-ownership and White House engagement

Preview:Rob Mloud, CEO of Cambria Goldmines, discusses two major catalysts: (1) the spinout of the Mount Margaret copper-gold deposit into a new US-domiciled entity called Freedom Copper, partly driven by White House interest due to BLM co-ownership, and (2) the restart of the Premier Gold Mine complex in Stewart, BC, anchored by the high-grade Red Mountain deposit. Mount Margaret is a historical ~570Mt porphyry with significant expansion potential; Freedom Copper aims to raise ~$100M for a 100,000m drill program and fast-track to feasibility. Cambria shareholders retain 49.9% equity and receive 15% dividend shares in Freedom Copper. On the Premier restart, Red Mountain road construction is underway, and the feasibility study may be delayed to mid-2027 to incorporate a phase-2 expansion capturing lower-grade material at higher gold prices.

Preview:Michael Pento argues the Federal Reserve's massive money printing has created an unsustainable wealth gap and asset bubbles that must inevitably collapse. He believes Kevin Warsh will eventually be forced to print trillions, triggering a depression followed by intractable stagflation. In the near term, he sees disinflation opening the door for rate cuts, which is bullish for gold and miners — he recently doubled his gold exposure and bought miners. Longer term, he expects gold to reach $10,000/oz after the coming liquidity crisis and subsequent money-printing wave.

$3,400 Gold Before the Real Rally Begins

Fibonacci extension and retracement targets

Preview:Chris (from VRIC Media) lays out a technical analysis case for gold to correct further to the $3,300–$3,600/oz range — with $3,600 as the primary downside target using Fibonacci extensions. He frames this as bullish: a healthy multi-wave shakeout that would flush late euphoric buyers and build a base for the next leg higher. The long-term upside target is $8,000–$8,600/oz. He recommends long-term investors accumulate in the $3,300–$3,600 zone and cautions against chasing other hot sectors if gold/silver/miners underperform during the base-building phase.

Economic Expert: Why Gold Will Climb To $15,000

Preview:An interview at the VRIC featuring an unnamed economic expert who argues that China — not Western monetary policy — is the marginal price-setter for gold. He presents a thesis that PBOC liquidity injections have been the primary driver of the gold rally, and that the recent gold pullback coincides with China hitting the brakes on liquidity in March 2026 (linked to Iran tensions). Near-term, he watches 25,000–30,000 yuan as key support zones. Long-term, he projects gold reaching $15,000/oz by the mid-2030s, driven by relentless global monetary debasement as governments inflate away unaffordable debt and welfare commitments.

He is more constructive on large, liquid names, physical uranium, and the broader sector than on speculative explorers, and he says the best edge is often trading the sector’s volatility rather than trying to pick every small developer.

Preview:Michael How argues that global liquidity is shifting out of financial markets and into the real economy, which is setting up a period where equities, gold, bonds, the dollar, and commodities all move in different phases. His main tactical call is that gold and bitcoin may have already seen a near-term peak, while bond yields and the U.S. dollar are likely to grind higher as markets do the tightening for the Fed. Long term, he remains structurally bullish on gold because he sees ongoing monetary debasement, especially in China and the West, as the force that will eventually drive much higher nominal prices.

His main silver bear case is that silver is now primarily an industrial metal, the key end use is solar, and China’s solar buildout may slow materially in 2026 because its grid is running into dispatchability limits. For gold, he frames price action as heavily linked to Middle East war risk and says he personally holds gold in size. On uranium, he is constructive on the asset’s unique market structure and price insensitivity, but says he does not currently own it.

Why More People Are Starting to Feel Broke | Darrell Thomas - VRIC Media

US fiscal sustainability and debt

Preview:Darrell Thomas of The Money Level Show and VRIC Media shares his journey from social work/education into precious metals investing and YouTube content creation. His core macro thesis centers on US dollar purchasing power erosion, unsustainable government debt ($40T by year-end, $100T+ off-balance-sheet liabilities), and a commodities supercycle. He describes a three-tier investing approach: short-term swing trades on oversold quality companies, mid-term holds in commodity producers, and long-term "deathbed" holdings in royalty/streaming companies like Wheaton Precious Metals. Key influences include Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad Poor Dad" and Rick Rule's mentorship on profit-taking discipline. He views the recent gold/silver pullback as a buying opportunity and believes gold could reach above $10,000 in the next decade.

Why Gold Developers Could Be the Biggest Winners of This Bull Market | Hugh Agro (Revival Gold)

US mining permitting on private land

Preview:Hugh Agro, CEO of Revival Gold, makes the case that gold developers are the best risk/reward spot in the current gold bull market. He argues seniors have already re-rated (0.8-1x NAV) while developers still trade at 0.3-0.5x NAV — and Revival Gold specifically at ~0.15x NAV. The company holds 6M ounces across two brownfield US projects (Utah and Idaho) on private land, which simplifies permitting. Recent high-grade drill results at South Mercur (4 g/t over 25m) and a target construction start in 2028 provide catalysts. Agro frames the investment as buying gold exposure at $0.15 on the dollar, with ongoing exploration keeping the story alive during the development phase.

He is constructive on the longer-term direction for oil, gold, silver, and platinum, but very cautious tactically because many of the charts are overextended and prone to whipsaws or deeper corrections first.

DOW vs Gold SPLIT: Generational Shift Incoming

Preview:Christopher Aaron of iGold Advisor presents a generational thesis: the Dow-to-Gold ratio has broken a 45-year trend, signaling the start of a multi-year cycle where gold massively outperforms equities. He argues this "fourth turning" pattern has only appeared three times before (1929, 1966, 1999), each leading to 86-96% declines in the Dow relative to gold. Historical averages imply gold reaching $20,000+/oz by the early 2030s, with silver in the mid-triple-digits. Nearer-term he targets gold $8-10K and silver $200-300 in 12-18 months. He also highlights palladium as the sole precious metal laggard yet to make new highs, and platinum as just breaking an 18-year consolidation.

He also says tariffs create uncertainty and delay capital spending, China’s Treasury sales are offset by bank demand, and gold remains a strategic insurance asset because central banks keep buying amid rising counterparty risk.

He remains constructive on precious metals and industrial materials over a 10-year view, but says near-term returns may be partially used up, so he is holding lots of cash, having sold most of his physical gold and part of his junior stock book. He is redeploying selectively into hated areas such as oil and gas and into jurisdictions others fear, while stressing management quality, applicable track records, and scale as the keys to surviving high-risk resource investing.

Preview:An interview on VRIC Media with Chris Vermulan argues that equities, the dollar, and precious metals are all at important inflection points, but the speaker sees the near-term setup as mixed-to-bearish for risk assets and metals alike. He thinks recent strength in SPY and gold/silver/platinum is mostly a bounce or overshoot inside broader uncertain, potentially corrective structures, and says he has moved to cash while waiting for clearer confirmation.

Preview:Panel discussion at VRIC argues that the world is undergoing a structural monetary reset, with gold increasingly used as a neutral reserve asset and settlement layer as trust in fiat, sanctions regimes, and the post-1945 order erodes. The speakers disagree on whether this ultimately re-centers gold, a fragmented multi-block system, or even a stablecoin-led re-dollarization, but all broadly expect higher gold prices and a stronger role for hard assets.

Gold Outlook: $5,000 Gold is The New Floor

Bullion vs. mining stocks investment framework

Preview:Lobo Tigre argues that gold's current ~$4,900–5,100 range is a healthy correction/consolidation, not a blow-off top — it looks structurally different from the 1980 and 2011 peaks. He separates bullion (always accumulate, it's insurance) from mining stocks (wait for better entry points; most quality names are near all-time highs despite corrections). He is most bullish on copper for 2026 on structural supply deficits, likes uranium's long-term trend but notes its crowded-trade risk, sees silver's industrial demand (data centers, nuclear) as a tailwind, and views PGMs as purely industrial but now investable in the next mania phase. He flags jurisdictional risk in Mexico as a serious new concern and defends taking profits as discipline, not betrayal.

The speakers agree the move is volatile and likely unsustainable in a straight line, but they think the fundamental backdrop is strong enough that pullbacks should be bought rather than feared.

He also links the setup to solar-panel buying ahead of China’s VAT/refund change, plus broader demand from electrification, AI, robotics, and government stockpiling of critical metals.

+500% Gold Return: The Junior Mining Playbook

Venture capital portfolio model for resource stocks

Preview:Michael Gentile, a former institutional money manager turned junior mining investor, lays out his venture-capital-style playbook for junior mining stocks. His core thesis: adopt a portfolio approach where 8 of 10 picks can go to zero and one 50x winner still delivers ~500% returns. He walks through his checklist for picking winners — geology you can't change (grade, scale, infrastructure, jurisdiction) and factors you can (management, insider ownership, capital efficiency, cap table hygiene). He argues gold equities remain in the early-to-mid cycle with much more room to run, and shares case studies (K92, Northern Superior, North Ale Copper) that produced 50x+ returns. The presentation is more educational framework than immediate trade call.

Silver is presented as the highest-conviction trade for 2026 because of its industrial demand, persistent supply shortfall, and potential reserve-asset re-rating. Gold, uranium, copper, platinum, rare earths, and a few other metals are framed as beneficiaries of the same regime shift, with jurisdiction, permitting, and processing capacity emphasized as key screening factors.

Andy Schectman and Craig Hemke argue the US dollar's reserve status is eroding via BRICS expansion, central bank gold buying, and a new payment system outside SWIFT. On silver, they see massive upside due to suppressed price discovery, physical drain from Western exchanges to the East, and structural supply deficits — though Hemke cautions that derivatives-driven pricing means gains will come in "two steps forward, one step back" rather than moonshots.

Hemke argues the inevitable recession and eventual Fed pivot will drive metals higher, while Schectman focuses on de-dollarization, BRICS central bank gold accumulation, and a coming "all at once" reset. Both see the COMEX/LBMA derivative pricing scheme as manipulated by bullion banks but ultimately unsustainable as physical metal drains from the system. Silver at $23 is framed as a generational bargain — a depleting asset with surging industrial/military/monetary demand being systematically drained from exchanges, setting up an eventual supply crisis.

The Great Reset, Here's How it Happens: Andy Schectman

De-dollarization and the end of the petrodollar systemBRICS and Shanghai Cooperation Organization coalition-building

Preview:Andy Schectman presents a thesis of imminent dollar collapse driven by de-dollarization, BRICS coalition-building, and the end of the petrodollar system. He argues that a commodity/gold-backed BRICS currency combined with Saudi Arabia's pivot to accepting non-dollar oil payments will trigger a tsunami of inflation in the West, crashing stocks, bonds, and real estate. His core recommendation: own gold as the rest of the world's central banks are accumulating it at record levels.

U.S. Dollar Hegemony Coming to an End, Gold to Benefit: Andy Schectman

Preview:Andy Schectman argues that the US dollar's hegemony is nearing its end, with BRICS nations preparing a commodity-backed currency that will challenge dollar reserve status. He sees massive, below-the-radar physical gold and silver drain from COMEX and LBMA by sophisticated, sovereign buyers as the most important signal — price suppression is "the greatest tool of misdirection." The BRICS currency, likely running on digital-yuan-style rails, will be pegged to commodities (especially gold), and Saudi Arabia/OPEC pivoting oil settlement away from dollars is the key catalyst. Schectman believes gold will be revalued dramatically higher as part of this new system and that CBDCs are coming everywhere, including the US, largely to enable direct monetary policy and surveillance.
