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.

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 core view is that rising long-term demand for copper, silver, and gold — driven by electrification, AI infrastructure, and critical-mineral supply constraints — should support continued capital flow into exploration, while Brixton’s current drill campaigns could convert discovery momentum into maiden resources and possibly a tailings-based near-term cash source at Langis.

He is constructive on select miners and developers, especially where scale, M&A optionality, and regional infrastructure can unlock value, but he is cautious on names with financing, operating, or geopolitical/security problems.

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.

The analyst argues that gold's recent sell-offs are liquidity-driven (margin calls force gold sales when it's "widely owned"), not fundamental. He sees the uptrend intact, expects central banks to flood liquidity in any equity crisis (which ultimately benefits gold), and makes a nuanced bull case for silver, where he now believes industrial demand is a genuine price mover for the first time in his career. Gold miners are printing cash but a supply response is underway via low-grading and resource recalculations.

DOW vs Gold SPLIT: Generational Shift Incoming

fourth turning generational cycle

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.

Jeff Clark: My Top 3 Picks In This Bull Market

2026 pullback/correction expectations and cash positioning

Preview:Jeff Clark, founder of The Gold Advisor, argues we are in a major gold/silver bull market akin to 1979, not 2011, and it is still early — not even two years old. He expects a pullback/correction in 2026 but says it won't end the bull market. He is still aggressively investing, favoring developers and juniors further down the food chain. His top three personal investments from 2025: A2 Gold, Stallion Uranium, and Pacifica Silver. He is also structurally bullish on copper and uranium due to supply-demand imbalances. For stock picking, he emphasizes the "three Ps" — people (management with skin in the game), project (big and rich), and politics (mining-friendly jurisdiction). His key tactical advice: hold a large cash position to weather any correction without being forced to sell.

Preview:Ross Beaty, Emeritus Chairman of Equinox Gold, gives a conference-floor interview at VRIC. He's broadly bullish on gold, copper, and uranium but warns silver looks parabolic and unsustainable — he'd sell silver now and buy back after a correction. He notes the producer-equity disconnect from last year has closed, many stocks have multiplied, and the mood is euphoric, but cycles always turn. On his own companies: Equinox Gold should be net-debt-free by end of Q1 2026, and a private copper-silver project in Poland (Lumina Group's 10th company) may IPO in Q2.

Gold & Silver Are Overvalued: Here Is The Real Opportunity

Gold and silver valuation — not a buy-low opportunity

Preview:Independent speculator Lobo Tiggre ("the Due Diligence Guy") is interviewed at VRIC. He believes gold and silver are not "buy low" opportunities right now — they're fairly valued or overvalued as speculation. Instead, his top pick for 2026 is copper (strong demand from data centers, electrification, supply constraints), followed by uranium. His immediate buy is beaten-down oil stocks offering dividends at cycle lows. He recommends accumulating cash to buy copper/uranium stocks on the next volatility dip. He frames physical gold/silver as insurance/savings, not a speculation — owning some is non-negotiable regardless of price.

He spends much of the interview explaining that Fed QE does not mechanically translate into broad money growth the way people assume, and that Treasury yields are driven mainly by growth and inflation expectations, not by deficits or foreign central-bank selling. 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.

Trust: Why Gold & Silver Will Keep Ripping

Loss of trust in sovereign financial systems

Preview:Mark Moss argues gold and silver are ripping not primarily due to inflation but because of a global breakdown of trust — countries fear asset seizure (as seen with Russia's frozen reserves) and sanctions risk. He frames gold as the current trust solution for central banks, while Bitcoin represents the next-generation trustless alternative with instant settlement and open-source code. Moss positions himself as a "sound money advocate" who was a gold bug before Bitcoin and sees a generational divide: grandparents won't buy Bitcoin, grandkids won't buy gold. His core pitch is that understanding the problem (loss of trust in the system) precedes choosing the right asset, and he recommends The Bitcoin Standard as the essential starting book.

The consensus: copper demand is rising inexorably (electrification, population growth, AI), while new supply is chronically bottlenecked by permitting, social license, capital costs, and the absence of major discoveries since 2015. No one gives a precise price target, but all are structurally bullish, with Lobo calling copper his "highest conviction trade" for 2026 while cautioning against chasing all-time highs.

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.

Preview:Amir Adnani, CEO of Uranium Energy Corp (UEC), presents at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference arguing that uranium is in the early innings of a structural bull market. His thesis rests on unprecedented electricity demand growth (10-15% annually vs. the historical 2%), driven by AI data centers requiring ~157 GW of new capacity over three years. He highlights bipartisan US political support for nuclear, Trump's pro-nuclear pivot at Davos, and a severe US supply deficit (importing >90% of its 50M lbs annual demand). He positions UEC as the only vertically integrated American uranium company — unhedged, debt-free, with $700M in cash — and frames uranium as dramatically undervalued relative to gold (implying a $1,000/lb "normalized" price vs. the current $87/lb).

The company has received all approvals for its El Tigre project in Sonora, Mexico, and has begun construction of a surface mine (heap leach) with an 18-month build timeline and $86M capex, targeting production as the 39th operating silver mine by 2027. The presentation centers on two sequential mines: a 10-year surface operation generating ~$150M/year after-tax, and a 15-year underground mine. At spot silver prices, the combined NPV approaches ~$2.5B USD with ~$4B in cumulative after-tax free cash flow over the mine lives.

Critically, new listings remain flat (~55/year on TSX/TSX-V), broker activity is surging as cannabis/AI competition fades, and money is still selective — flowing to proven projects, not "moose pasture." He flags a cautionary tale about predatory share structures and shares three new stock picks: an unnamed Gold Fields-backed company at 15¢, Troilus at $2, and San Lorenzo Gold, which just drilled a "banger" hole of 224m at 0.19 g/t.

He views the recent correction as healthy consolidation that washed out weak hands. On the US economy, he dismisses Trump administration hype of 5–6% growth, anchoring instead to ~2.5% potential with Goldman's ~2.8% as a reasonable upper bound. He highlights a K-shaped economy where top-20% earners drive consumption while most Americans suffer from affordability and inflation pressures. He is skeptical of AI/productivity miracle narratives and warns that resurgent M2 growth means inflation will not return to target.

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.

Don’t Wait Longer - Silver To $350 according to History

Preview:Christopher Aaron presents a "fourth turning" thesis for gold using the 130-year Dow/Gold ratio chart, arguing that the three prior breakdowns (1929, 1966, 2002) each produced ~90% declines in stocks vs. gold. He projects the ratio will reach 2.2, implying gold at $13,600–$31,000 depending on the scenario, and silver at $350 using a gold/silver ratio of 38. He discloses his two largest personal mining stock positions: Providence Gold (PAU) and Sirios Resources (SOI).

Preview:A bullish, single-speaker pitch on silver argues that silver has already re-rated but is still cheap versus stocks, gold, and global financial assets, and that the next opportunity is now shifting from the metal itself to silver miners. The speaker leans on price performance, ETF flows, exchange inventories, lease rates, and gold/silver ratio mean reversion to argue that the silver market is structurally tight and that mining equities have not yet caught up.

Chambers argues the move was driven by retail FOMO, system stress, and end-of-month positioning, then broadens the thesis to gold as a geopolitical war signal, platinum/palladium as scarce industrial metals tied to combustion engines and remediation, copper as a long-duration shortage trade, and Bitcoin as a flight asset during acute geopolitical stress.

He walks through three separate checklists — 10 items for producers, 6 for developers, and 2 rules for explorers — arguing that strict adherence filters out losers and leaves portfolios that only need higher gold prices to perform. He uses $6,000 gold and $150 silver as his valuation assumptions and highlights specific companies including Free Gold Ventures, Blackrock Silver, Banyan Gold, Snowline Gold, and Aino as examples.

WARNING: This Is The Truth About The Future of Gold Prices

Currency debasement and fiat erosion

Preview:The speaker argues that gold's secular bull market is far from over, driven by structural currency debasement, weaponization of the US dollar, and central banks rotating from Treasuries into physical gold. He frames this through the lens of historical wisdom — nothing in excess, knowing thyself — and warns that fiat money has no bull case. Gold is not expensive; paper money is simply getting weaker. He advises physical gold held in private vaults as wealth preservation, noting retracements will come but conviction in the macro thesis should carry holders through.

Warning: What History Tells Us About Precious Metals

Athenian Empire and the Peloponnesian WarThucydides trap and US-China parallels

Preview:The speaker draws parallels between the Athenian Empire's rise and modern geopolitics, arguing that precious metals (specifically silver) were foundational to Athens' naval power and empire. The Laurion silver mines funded the fleet that defeated Persia; control of northern mining districts (Pangaeum) and trade routes became the true objectives of the Peloponnesian War. Key lessons: natural resources = geopolitical power; trade routes are the primary vulnerability; rules-based order is aspirational but fragile; empires become traps their leaders feel they cannot exit. Modern parallels are drawn to US-China dynamics, the US dollar as a tool of empire, Greenland, Venezuela, and DRC.

Preview:Mark Moss lays out a long-term macro thesis: the US dollar is in a "rock and a hard place" between sovereign debt crisis and money printing, destroying trust in Treasuries. This is driving a massive, early-stage sector rotation into commodities — especially gold. He argues the real driver of gold is not inflation but trust, which once broken never returns. Central bank buying signals this structural shift. He sees Bitcoin as the next-generation trustless settlement layer that will eventually surpass gold for global trade.

Maria Smanova broadly agrees on precious metals but emphasizes corrections as healthy and extends the bullish case to copper, uranium, lithium, and other resources tied to electrification and infrastructure. Both speakers are constructive on the resource complex, but they stress that permitting, declining ore grades, and capital scarcity mean supply responses will be slow.

Preview:Nomi Prins lays out a bullish thesis for gold ($6,000 by end-2026) and commodities broadly, driven by central bank de-dollarization, supply-chain concentration in critical minerals (cobalt, copper, silver), and an upcoming Fed leadership change in May that she expects will bring lower rates and possibly QE — weakening the dollar. She argues oil is uninteresting due to abundance, views current 2.7% inflation as normal and not primarily rate-driven, and sees commodities outperforming equities again this year with gold potentially beating the S&P 500 by more than 5x.

How Gold & Silver Prices Are Manipulated - Darrell Thomas

COMEX futures market structure and leverageCurrency debasement and fiat devaluation

Preview:Darrell Thomas explains that while gold and silver are in a structural bull market driven by currency debasement, the paper futures market on COMEX creates artificial volatility through leveraged positioning, spoofing, and institutional manipulation — citing JP Morgan convictions and historical examples (Hunt brothers, Wall Street Silver). He argues the paper market can delay and distort price discovery but cannot reverse the physical demand trend from central bank gold buying and industrial silver consumption. The system breaks when delivery demand, price-insensitive industrial need, and currency confidence loss overwhelm the paper market's capacity to suppress.

He also frames gold and silver as beneficiaries of fiat money expansion, weaker real purchasing power, and any future Fed easing or market stress.

Charlotte McLeod: US Economy Indicators Are Flashing Red

US economy recession riskFederal Reserve policy and Powell succession

Preview:Charlotte McLeod, editorial director at Investing News Network, shares her synthesized view of the US economy based on conversations with guests across the mining and macro space. She describes an economy where warning signs are flashing — sticky inflation amid Fed rate cuts, downward jobs revisions, tech layoffs, and unsustainable debt — yet timing a recession remains elusive. She emphasizes the bifurcated economy where asset owners benefit while paycheck-to-paycheck households suffer. On gold and silver, she sees the bull market as intact and personally accumulates physical metal on autopilot while favoring large-cap royalty/streaming companies for equity exposure. She flags copper and uranium as the top non-precious metals to watch for 2026, though recession risk clouds copper's near-term outlook.

Why Gold Royalties Will Outperform Physical Gold

fiat debasement

Preview:This is an interview arguing that gold royalties and streaming companies are a structurally better way to express a bullish precious-metals view than owning physical gold or miners outright. The guest, Benjamin Demazi (“the royalty king”), says the world is in a long-running fiat debasement trade, gold is the hurdle rate for most investors, and royalty businesses outperform because they capture upside in price and volume without capex, opex, or dilution.

This Gold Producer Targets 500,000 Ounces of Production With Zero Dilution

shareholder dilutionLa Colorada

Preview:This is an interview with Heliostar Metals CEO Charles Funk about building a mid-tier gold producer without heavy dilution. The core pitch is that Heliostar wants to reach 500,000 ounces a year by 2030, funded mainly by cash flow from current mines and project financing rather than repeated equity raises. Funk argues the company’s recent asset buying, restart work, and expansion studies have turned Heliostar from an unloved, high-risk story into a cash-generating growth platform.

This Is How It Ends: The Fed Just Triggered the Final Stage of the Debt Cycle

Federal Reserve balance sheet policyFiscal dominanceLate-stage debt cycle

Preview:The speaker argues the Fed's quiet pivot from QT to QE — expanding its balance sheet while the economy is still hot — marks the final stage of the debt cycle. Drawing heavily on Ray Dalio's framework, the thesis is that the Fed is now trapped by fiscal dominance: forced to fund government deficits because the bond market won't absorb long-term debt. The predicted sequence: a liquidity-driven "melt-up" in risk assets (tech, AI, crypto), followed by reignited inflation that forces the Fed to tighten into a bubble, triggering a crash. The speaker recommends participating in the upside but rotating into real assets (gold, silver, commodities, miners, energy) before the turn.

The Precious Metals Breakout No One’s Prepared For

Mining stock multibagger categories (discovery, pre-producer, resource builder, new names)

Preview:Jeff Clark, founder of The Gold Advisor, sees gold and silver in a consolidation phase after the October correction, building energy for the next leg higher. He targets $5,000 gold (latter half 2026) and $75 silver by end-2026, citing five consecutive years of silver deficits, central bank buying, geopolitical tensions, and the absence of visible headwinds. He emphasizes discovery-stage and resource-builder mining stocks for multibagger potential, recommends buying on pullbacks during this consolidation window, and notes retail/institutional demand has barely begun to enter the sector.

Preview:David Rosenberg argues the market is entering a post-bubble phase: tech and AI valuations are stretched, volatility is signaling a top, and capital should rotate toward gold, silver, miners, bonds, and relative-value trades rather than passive index exposure. He is also bullish on lower rates and a weaker dollar, but warns that politically driven Fed cuts, tariffs, and a steepening yield curve could keep inflation and long-end yields elevated.

Preview:Interview with David Lin about the U.S. economy, AI/tech valuations, liquidity stress, gold, silver, and his own investing posture. Lin argues the economy is weakening mainly through labor softness, weak consumer sentiment, and policy uncertainty, while saying the banking system is not the current crisis point. He sees gold as consolidating near $4,000 after a huge run and thinks silver can stay around $50 longer than past cycles, but he does not think $100 silver is imminent.

Clem Chambers: Why a HUGE Commodities Breakout Is Inevitable

liquidity and money supplygovernment debt monetization

Preview:Clem Chambers argues that liquidity is the main driver of markets and that the recent choppiness reflects a temporary cash squeeze from Fed tightening, Treasury cash drains during the shutdown, and stress in bank funding. He expects liquidity to normalize and thinks that supports a continued broader market uptrend. He is bullish on commodities structurally, especially rare earths, copper, gold, and silver, because he believes deglobalization, reshoring, AI/robotics, and geopolitical stress will make them scarcer and more expensive. He is bearish on old-style Bitcoin enthusiasm, saying Bitcoin is now just another asset and likely in a bear market or crypto winter, while the real upside in crypto will come from blockchain-based use cases rather than speculative coins.

He says that mix, plus rising long-term yields, bigger deficits, tariff uncertainty, and continued debt monetization, is bullish for gold and especially silver, and increasingly bearish for the dollar, Treasuries, US stocks, and Bitcoin.

Preview:Jennifer Shaigec (Sandpiper Trading / @JenSteelMiniDots on X) lays out a macro thesis centered on de-dollarization, a potential US-China conflict over Taiwan, and a transition toward a bi-metallic-backed IMF Special Drawing Rights system. She argues gold could reach $10k–$20k and silver $300–$700 in that reset. She favors defense metals—especially tungsten and copper—and names specific junior miners (Fireweed Zinc, Faraday Copper, Hayasa Metals, Camino Minerals) while expressing skepticism toward Bitcoin and rare earths.

Preview:A uranium-focused panel argues the sector has entered a more constructive phase: spot and term prices have started to move higher, utilities are still under-covered, and production misses across the supply chain are reinforcing a structural deficit. The speakers say Trump administration support for nuclear adds demand optionality, but the main thesis is still supply scarcity and delayed contracting, not AI or SMR hype.

Preview:Andy Schectman argues the current gold-and-silver surge is not a normal pullback but part of a larger monetary reset: gold is being reabsorbed into the system, the dollar is being deliberately debased, and silver is flashing a physical-market squeeze. He frames recent price volatility as a pause within a powerful trend, and repeatedly recommends owning hard assets rather than sitting in cash or short-term treasuries.

Andy Shechman says gold revaluation is a realistic policy tool to devalue the dollar, support manufacturing, and manage the debt load; Alistair Mloud is much more skeptical, calling revaluation premature and unlikely without a crisis.

He frames recent COMEX delivery spikes, central-bank gold demand, stablecoins backed by Treasuries, and possible gold revaluation as parts of one plan to support U.S. debt markets while enabling a heavily devalued dollar and a manufacturing reshoring push.

Gold & Silver's Tipping Point: The Road to True Price Discovery

De-dollarization and BRICS expansionUS fiscal/debt unsustainability

Preview:A panel discussion on gold, silver, and the accelerating de-dollarization trend. 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. Schectman calls silver the "opportunity of a generation" and the "most undervalued asset on the planet."

How Will Geopolitics, War, and Out-of-Control Debt Affect Gold and Silver?

COMEX/LBMA derivative pricing manipulation

Preview:A panel interview hosted by Jesse Day with Craig Hemke (TF Metals Report) and Andy Schectman (Miles Franklin) on the macro backdrop for gold and silver. 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.

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.
