Editor’s Note: We have been pounding the table on our performance in Private Placement Intel. The copper placement we did in July with Rick Rule and Jeff Phillips is already up 200% (with warrants to buy more). The uranium development deal we did last month is up 345% (with warrants to buy more). This week, we’ll help finance a brand new gold development and exploration company that has a head-start thanks to an existing high-grade gold resource at its flagship property in the Yukon. We are participating in the IPO round this week. Learn more about Private Placement Intel here: https://bit.ly/4876ZAV

Here’s what was covered:
Macro Musings - Gold and silver keep breaking higher. Silver blew through $45 and is setting up for a run to $48 and new all-time highs. Gold pushed past $3,750 and looks ready to challenge $3,800 on the way to $4,000–$5,000. Both metals have tailwinds from Fed rate cuts, strong economic growth, and continued central bank buying. Meanwhile, the dollar is firming and bond yields are ticking higher. That points to rising risks—including black swan military chatter out of Washington—but gold and silver don’t seem to care.
Market Takes - Copper grabbed headlines after a tragic accident at Freeport’s Grasberg mine cut production. That mine represents about 3% of global output, and the disruption could tip this year’s market into deficit. Copper prices jumped, and Ivanhoe Mines has already rallied 25% since July as investors repositioned into names with growth ahead. Craig Perry of Vizsla Copper has even argued that $30–$35 copper is possible down the line. Nick and Gerardo don’t need that to make money — $7–$8 copper in the next year is more than enough. Lithium Americas soared 125% this week after the Trump administration said it may take a 10% stake in the company’s Nevada project. That followed a $2.3 billion government loan under Biden and highlights a trend of resource nationalism across lithium, antimony, rare earths, and more. Uranium also broke out, hitting $82 per pound. The URA ETF is up 50% in just six weeks. Major producers like Cameco and Kazatomprom have guided down, while U.S. policy is moving to expand the strategic uranium reserve. Small explorers are doubling with little news as utilities prepare to contract supply.
Bizarro Banter - Politics again proved bizarre. Trump’s subsidies to farmers were called what they are—welfare—despite the loud denials of those who voted for him. His second term is shaping up much like his first: weaker dollar, more debt, more war, and broken promises. Meanwhile, the Epstein scandal continues without closure for victims, even as culture-war distractions dominate headlines. Gerardo and Nick reminded listeners to keep pressure on real issues of accountability.
