Show Notes
Rick Rule joins us for a masterclass on natural resource investing: what actually works, what’s hype, and why most investors get wrecked even in bull markets.
We cover his core contrarian framework “buy hate, sell love,” why he sold most of his silver and rotated into miners, and how to separate saving (gold) from investing and speculation. Rick also breaks down why gold moved first, why mining equities lag, what royalty/streaming gets right, and why 90% of listed mining companies are non-viable plus the hard reality that many “10-baggers” come with brutal drawdowns.
In this interview: • Resource cycles and contrarian timing • Silver vs silver miners and valuation traps • Royalty/streaming vs operators • Why juniors are mostly dead money and how to filter them • What to watch next in precious metals and the macro backdrop

Is the global financial system approaching its breaking point? In this episode of Macroscopic, Alasdair Macleod warns of an unprecedented sovereign debt crisis that could threaten the very foundations of fiat currencies.
Henrik Zeberg returns to Macroscopic to explain why he believes markets are approaching the final stage of the economic cycle. While much of the market is focused on sticky inflation, rising bond yields and the risk of a sovereign debt crisis, Henrik argues that the real warning signs are emerging in the labour market, housing and credit.
Macro strategist Luke Gromen joins Alexej Jordanov to explain why both Fed rate hikes and rate cuts are now inflationary, why the US bond market, not the stock market, is the real bubble, and why he believes gold is headed to five figures.
Brent Johnson and Francis Hunt go head-to-head over the future of the US dollar and the Dollar Milkshake Theory. Hunt argues that rising Treasury yields increasingly reflect a loss of confidence in US debt, driving capital toward gold, commodities and eventually away from the dollar. Johnson pushes back: dollar strength was never the end goal of the theory, but a catalyst for a broader sovereign debt and currency crisis.
Alexej Jordanov speaks with Rabobank strategist Michael Every about a global system increasingly driven by statecraft, military power and control over physical resources rather than conventional market forces.
