Recording Date 6-29-2026. In this episode, Michael explains why he believes the recent correction in gold and silver has not altered the larger secular bull market despite the sharp decline catching many investors by surprise. He argues that the real story is not the pullback in precious metals but the growing structural weakness developing beneath the surface of the U.S. financial system, particularly within banks, credit card companies, major asset managers, and government bond markets. Michael shares why he expects these sectors to become the catalyst for the next major rotation into hard assets and explains why Federal Reserve policy is ultimately reactive rather than capable of preventing the financial cycle from unfolding. Throughout the discussion, he outlines why momentum indicators continue to support higher prices for gold and silver while traditional equity markets are approaching a critical turning point.
Michael also compares today's precious metals market with the historic bull runs of the 1970s and 2000s, arguing that gold has advanced only half as much as previous secular cycles despite far greater economic and debt-related risks. He explains why gold mining stocks have quietly outperformed over the past two years and why their decade-long relative valuation base against gold could soon produce an explosive breakout that attracts institutional and retail investors alike. Michael then walks through silver's recent correction, describing it as a likely three-wave bear trap with improving momentum that could signal the beginning of the next advance. He concludes by explaining why weakening confidence in stocks, bonds, and the broader financial system could drive substantial capital into gold, silver, mining shares, and other hard assets, creating what he believes may become one of the strongest investment opportunities of the coming market cycle.
 
Key Insights In This Episode
✅ Gold and silver remain in long-term bull trends despite the recent correction.
✅ Michael warns financials and government bonds could trigger the next crisis.
✅ Banks, credit cards, and asset managers are showing hidden weakness.

Recording Date 6-26-2026. The S&P 500 finished down 2% for the week and now looks like it has shifted into a short-term downtrend with lower highs and lower lows, while the U.S. dollar rose 0.6% and the 10-year yield dropped 1.8% to around 4.38%. I also cover the wild SpaceX chart after SPCX fell 17.2% for the week, including the topping tail, the possible bear pennant, and how aggressive traders could watch SSPC as a short-term way to play downside if SPCX breaks below 150. This is exactly the type of week where I want my limit orders set ahead of time because fast selloffs in names like PHYS, GDX, PSLV, SIL, COPX, URNM, XLE, FCG, PICK, and BOIL can create buy opportunities before most investors even react.
I also dig deep into the commodity charts, starting with gold down 3.5%, PHYS down 3.7%, and GDX down 6.7% as gold tested the 4,100 area and showed positive RSI divergence. Silver was hit even harder, falling 10.7%, while PSLV dropped 10.9% and SIL fell 6.3%, but the silver miners are holding up better than the metal itself. Copper fell 3.8% and COPX dropped 10.9% after losing the major 6.15 support line, uranium slipped 0.9% while URNM fell 7.8%, and I explain why summer seasonality and the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust discount could give investors a better entry. I also cover WTI oil down 7%, XLE holding near key moving averages, natural gas up 1.1% with BOIL as a possible short term trade, coal stocks selling off with the coal ETF down 5.3%, platinum down 3.5%, palladium down 5.3%, nickel futures down 4.2%, PICK down 7.9%, and Bitcoin down 5.2% as the larger bear flag breakdown still points to risk despite a possible short term bounce.
 
Key Insights in this episode
✅ S&P 500 fell 2% and shifted into a short term downtrend, with support I'm watching near 7,150.
✅ SpaceX dropped 17.2%, and until SPCX can close above 225, I see the chart as bearish with 150 as the key breakdown level.
✅ Gold dropped 3.5%, but RSI divergence suggests a possible bounce after testing the 4,100 area.
✅ Silver plunged 10.7% and still looks weak to me, with resistance near 63 to 64 and support closer to 50 to 54.
✅ Copper fell 3.8% and lost key 6.15 support, while COPX dropped 10.9%, making me cautious short term.
✅ Oil, Uranium, Nickel And Bitcoin remain under pressure, with WTI down 7%, URNM down 7.8%, nickel down 4.2%, and Bitcoin down 5.2%.

Recording Date 6-25-2026. In this episode, Jordan joins Steve Barton to answer viewer questions on gold, silver, royalty companies, uranium, inflation, and the Federal Reserve. He starts with Alamos Gold, arguing that the selloff tied to issues at the Young Davidson mine looks more like a temporary operational setback than a permanent impairment. Jordan also compares physical gold and the Sprott Physical Gold Trust against major royalty companies like Franco Nevada, Wheaton Precious Metals, and Royal Gold, explaining why the royalty model can outperform gold over time through mine expansions, reserve growth, and long asset lives.
Jordan then breaks down the macro setup around gold, interest rates, quantitative tightening, and the possibility of gold consolidating near the $3,500 range if tighter Fed policy pressures markets. He argues that high debt levels make aggressive long-term tightening difficult, which could eventually lead back to money printing, inflation, and renewed support for precious metals. The conversation moves into silver, where Jordan discusses Silver Crown Royalties, Michael Gentile's long-term investment view, and why silver looks more attractive after correcting from extreme highs. He also covers royalty opportunities in Altius, Kora Royalties, Elemental Royalties, Wheaton Precious Metals, and Royal Gold, before closing with Denison Mines and the Phoenix uranium project, where he says the asset is strong but a $20 stock target looks unrealistic based on current valuation math.
 
Key Insights in this episode
✅ Alamos Gold's selloff may be a temporary setback, creating a long-term buying opportunity.
✅ Major royalty companies have historically outperformed physical gold through long-term asset growth.
✅ Jordan expects inflation and money printing to remain long-term drivers for precious metals.
✅ Silver looks more attractive after its correction, with fundamentals improving from previous highs.
✅ Royalty companies like Royal Gold and Wheaton Precious Metals offer strong long-term value.
✅ Denison's Phoenix project is promising, but current valuations make a $20 share price unlikely.

Recording Date 6-24-2026. In this episode, Tom joins Steve Barton to share the investing framework and risk management principles that have allowed him to survive and prosper through multiple market environments. Rather than focusing on specific stock picks, Tom lays out a comprehensive blueprint for protecting capital, avoiding catastrophic mistakes, and building sustainable wealth over time. He explains why investors should limit exposure to any single idea, carefully manage position sizes, diversify across asset classes, and avoid becoming emotionally attached to investments. Drawing from years of experience in equities, commodities, futures, and resource investing, Tom argues that successful investing is far more dependent on discipline and risk control than on finding the next ten-bagger. He also discusses lessons learned from following respected investors such as Rick Rule and highlights the importance of studying long-term trends before they become obvious to the broader market.
Throughout the conversation, Tom dives into practical strategies for managing portfolios during both bull and bear markets, including scaling into positions, documenting investment theses, setting profit targets in advance, and using trailing stops to protect gains. The discussion expands into Bitcoin, taxes, leveraged ETFs, options, futures contracts, and the psychological traps that cause investors to abandon their plans at exactly the wrong time. Tom also references insights from the widely followed In Gold We Trust Report and explains why investors should pay close attention to precious metals, commodities, and broader macroeconomic cycles. He warns against blindly following hot tips, chasing momentum during speculative surges, and overtrading during volatile periods. As the episode concludes, Tom emphasizes that investing is a lifelong learning process requiring humility, patience, continuous education, and constant adaptation. His central message is clear: investors who prioritize capital preservation, manage risk relentlessly, and remain emotionally disciplined will be best positioned to benefit from future opportunities across stocks, commodities, precious metals, Bitcoin, and emerging market trends.
 
Key Insights in this episode
✅ Never risk more than 5% of total net worth on a single investment idea
✅ Capital preservation and avoiding catastrophic losses are more important than finding huge winners
✅ Diversification should extend across asset classes rather than multiple positions in the same sector
✅ Investors should scale into positions, document investment theses, and establish profit targets before buying
✅ Futures, leverage, and leveraged ETFs require strict risk controls due to volatility and decay
✅ Taking profits during market manias and parabolic moves is often more important than maximizing gains

In this week's Monday Market Moves, I'm breaking down a market that looks ready to push higher in the S&P 500, but underneath the surface, commodities, energy, miners, and Bitcoin are flashing some very different signals.

👉 Technical Analysis Video Series 
 Recording Date 6-13-2026. The S&P 500 finished up 0.9% and looks to me like it may be forming a bull flag near the highs, which keeps my bias higher heading into next week. The U.S. dollar gained 1% and broke above the 100.6 level before pulling back, and if that level holds, I think it could keep pressure on commodities. Gold dropped 1.7% after rejecting near 4,400, and now 4,100 is the key line in the sand that could decide whether this is just a pullback or the start of a faster flush lower. I also walk through SpaceX sentiment, the 10-year yield, PHYS buying levels, GDX miner strength, and why the metals market may be giving us a very interesting divergence.
Silver fell 2.1% and I think the 50 to 54 range comes into play quickly if gold loses 4,100, while PSLV is sitting near the 20 level and SIL actually gained 2.5% despite weakness in the metal. Copper dipped 0.8%, but I still think it can move higher if it clears 6.70, with 6.90, 7.08, and 7.64 as the next key levels, I'm watching. Uranium continues to look constructive with the term price still at 94, SRUUF up 1.8%, an 11.5% discount available near 18.50, and URNM up 5.3% in what looks like another possible bull flag setup. Oil was the biggest opportunity of the week in my view, with WTI down 10.4%, Brent down 7.4%, and XLE down 6.6%, which is why I started putting capital back to work in select oil companies and service names. I finish by breaking down natural gas up 2.2%, coal's 9.3% pullback in Pacific thermal futures, platinum down 2.3%, nickel down 1.4%, PICK as a core mining ETF, and Bitcoin down 3.5% with my target still around 25,000 to 30,000 before I get aggressive on the long side again.
 
Key Insights in this episode
✅ The S&P 500 is setting up for a possible move higher after gaining 0.9 percent, with the chart looking like a bull flag near all-time highs.
✅ The U.S. dollar gained 1 percent and may keep pressure on commodities if it holds support around the 100.6 level on the DXY.
✅ Gold fell 1.7 percent and now must defend 4,100, because a break below that level could trigger a fast drop toward 3,900 or even deeper support.
✅ Silver dropped 2.1 percent and could quickly fall toward the 50 to 54 range if gold fails to hold its key support level.
✅ Uranium continues to act well with the uranium price up 0.6 percent, SRUUF up 1.8 percent, and URNM up 5.3 percent as the sector builds strength.
✅ Oil's 10.4 percent crash in WTI looks like a buying opportunity to me, while Bitcoin's 3.5 percent drop still points to more downside toward my 25,000 to 30,000 target zone.
