Here’s what was covered:

Macro Musings - Flying solo this week, Nick dove into the bond market, the dollar, and gold. The 10-year yield trends down as the Fed readies a likely September cut, while the 30-year pushes higher — signaling growth ahead despite short-term easing. A weak dollar and lower short yields are tailwinds for gold, which hit fresh record highs near $3,600/oz. Stocks remain near all-time highs, but September seasonality could bring turbulence. Political interference at the Fed looms as Trump threatens Powell’s job and hints at dovish replacements.

Market Takes - Nick stepped back to trace his career from clean energy beginnings in 2007 through the financial crisis and into resources. The throughline: real things matter. Key themes now:

Uranium — Essential for AI-driven electricity demand, nuclear is resurging globally. U.S. needs ~50M lbs annually but produces only ~1M. Trump is fast-tracking projects like Dewey Burdock, where Nick first financed Azarga in 2017 before its Encore buyout.

Copper — Added to the U.S. critical minerals list, with a Section 232 investigation underway. Supply deficits and Trump’s tariff missteps highlight America’s dependence on imports. Projects like Resolution in Arizona show how permitting delays hamper supply.

Rare Earths — Déjà vu from 2010–11. China’s threats and U.S. inaction left dependence intact. Now MP Materials and recyclers are surging, with government support and Apple partnerships underscoring urgency.

Together, these metals — uranium, copper, and rare earths — remain the backbone of energy, defense, and technology.

Bizarro Banter - Politics turned local this week. Nick detailed Spokane’s deepening homeless crisis and the political dysfunction surrounding Proposition 1, which 75% of voters supported to ban street camping. Instead of honoring the vote, the mayor and city council watered it down and allegedly used late-night threats to sway votes. An ethics investigation is underway, but the press is silent. For Nick, it’s a microcosm of U.S. politics: leaders defying the will of the people, prioritizing agendas over democracy. The lesson: remain independent, own assets, and recognize that all politics is local.
