Recording Date 4-13-2026. In this episode, Rick explains how rising oil and LNG prices are being driven by anticipated shortages rather than actual supply depletion, warning that a prolonged disruption in the Strait of Hormuz could send prices significantly higher. The discussion also highlights second-order effects already emerging, including fertilizer shortages and the growing strategic importance of uranium as countries rethink energy security.
Rick connects these macro pressures to broader economic risks, arguing that higher energy costs are already contributing to a global slowdown. He then shifts to opportunities, outlining why uranium could benefit in the near term and why copper remains one of the most compelling long-term investments due to decades of underinvestment and structural supply deficits. The conversation wraps with a deep dive into how to evaluate copper companies and why high-quality, long-life assets will be the biggest winners in the coming commodity cycle.
 
Key Insights in this episode
✅ Energy markets are pricing fear not shortages but real supply shocks could send prices much higher
✅ Strait of Hormuz disruption risks triggering cascading effects across energy and supply chains
✅ Fertilizer shortages are emerging as a hidden risk to future crop yields and food supply
✅ Uranium demand is set to rise as countries prioritize energy security and restart reactors
✅ Rising energy costs are already acting as a drag on the global economy
✅ Copper remains a long-term inevitability trade driven by structural supply deficits

Recorded on 4-10-2026. I walk through the S&P 500 rally of 3.6% as it breaks above the 200-day moving average, along with a sharp drop in the VIX and continued weakness in the U.S. dollar. I also discuss how unexpected macro events like a ceasefire influenced price action and why I didn't anticipate that move. While the recent strength looks bullish on the surface, I explain why my short-term bias is actually leaning toward a pullback. I focus heavily on key technical levels that I'm watching closely across major asset classes.
I then shift into commodities and crypto where I see some of the most interesting opportunities developing. I highlight strength in gold, silver, and especially copper, where supply constraints could drive prices much higher in the coming years. At the same time, I break down the sharp 13.4% drop in oil and why I believe the downside is more likely to continue. I also explain why natural gas and coal are weakening due to oversupply dynamics. Finally, I cover Bitcoin's 5.8% move higher and why I expect resistance near 67,000 to trigger profit taking, even as the broader trend remains constructive.
 
Key Insights in this episode
✅ S&P 500 up 3.6% breaking above 200 day with resistance turning support near 6,662 and downside bias next week
✅ VIX down nearly 20% breaking trendline with expected bounce near 18 signaling volatility return

✅ Copper up 5.4% breaking above 50 day with upside momentum despite resistance near 6.10

✅ Natural gas down 3.2% breaking support with bearish continuation likely due to oversupply
✅ Platinum up 4.1% breaking downtrend while palladium up 2.2% both improving technically

 Recording Date 4-09-2026. In this episode, he delivers a bold and highly focused thesis on silver, arguing that the metal has entered a rare structural breakout phase. He explains that a key signal triggered in November marked the beginning of a powerful move driven by both momentum and silver's relationship to gold. Oliver highlights that similar setups in history have led to explosive, fast-moving price expansions. This sets the stage for what he believes could be one of the most dramatic moves in any asset class.
Oliver builds the case that silver could surge toward $300 to $500 in a short period, not over years but within a few quarters, driven by a parabolic repricing similar to past commodity breakouts like copper. He emphasizes that silver is no longer lagging gold and has entered a phase where it typically outperforms aggressively. At the same time, he warns that the stock market is quietly forming a major top, with a decline likely to become evident by late summer. As capital rotates out of equities, commodities led by silver are positioned to benefit the most. The episode concludes with a clear message that investors are underestimating both the speed and magnitude of the coming move in silver.
 
Key Insights in this episode
✅ Silver triggered a major structural breakout in November signaling a new phase
✅ Historical patterns suggest parabolic moves can occur within just a few quarters
✅ Price targets of 300 to 500 are based on prior commodity expansions and range breakouts
✅ Silver is shifting from lagging gold to significantly outperforming it
✅ Stock market is in a topping phase similar to 2000 and 2008
✅ Capital rotation into commodities is already underway and accelerating

Recording Date 4-07-2026. We discussed his disciplined approach to investing, how he evaluates mining companies, and why understanding risk is more important than chasing returns. I also asked him about preparing for black swan events, and he explained why having conviction in your holdings and keeping cash on hand can make all the difference when markets turn volatile.
We then dove into gold stocks, royalty companies, and some of the most talked-about names in the mining space, with Jordan sharing why valuation risk is increasing despite strong commodity prices. He explained why he prefers royalty companies for better downside protection, how he views opportunities like Royal Gold, and what risks investors may be underestimating in large mining projects. Toward the end, we explored macro developments including oil shocks and geopolitical tensions, and Jordan shared his perspective on how these could impact markets. He also surprised me with his take on certain big tech companies now starting to look like long-term value plays.
 
Key Insights in this episode
✅ Investors should only hold assets they are confident keeping during market crashes
✅ Holding 20 percent cash allows aggressive buying during major drawdowns
✅ Gold miners carry significant downside risk when gold prices correct
✅ Royalty companies offer better risk-adjusted exposure than traditional miners
✅ Oil markets may be severely underpricing supply shocks and geopolitical risk
✅ Large tech companies are starting to resemble long-term value investments

Recorded on 4-4-2026. I highlight how the S&P 500 bounced 3.4% and is now pushing into major resistance near the 20 day and 200 day moving averages. I also point out the sharp 23.1% drop in volatility and explain why despite that move the broader trend in the VIX still favors higher levels. I dive into the U.S. dollar sitting at a critical level near 100 and why I believe a breakdown could be coming which would support commodities.
I then shift into the key trades and setups I am watching closely right now. I explain why gold's 4.2% move is likely to stay range bound in the short term while silver continues to form a bearish structure despite recent strength. I break down oil's massive 11.9% rally but show why futures markets and divergence suggest lower prices ahead. I also highlight uranium copper and nickel as strong longer-term opportunities driven by supply demand imbalances while maintaining a cautious short-term outlook across most commodities. Finally, I walk through Bitcoin where I see a slight upside bias but with low conviction as it approaches key resistance levels.
 
Key Insights in this episode
✅ S&P 500 up 3.4% rebounding into resistance near 20 day and 200 day averages around $6,650
✅ VIX down 23.1% but still in an uptrend with bias pointing higher next week
✅ U.S. dollar flat near 100 level with increasing likelihood of breakdown and weakness ahead

✅ Silver up 4.5% but forming bearish flag with downside risk toward 50 to 55 range
✅ Copper up 1.6% with bearish pennant suggesting short term pullback despite long term bullish demand
✅ Uranium up 1.1% spot and 5.6% in Sprott trust with continued accumulation near 200 day average
✅ Oil WTI up 11.9% but futures curve and divergence point to likely downside reversal
✅ Natural gas down 7.1% breaking lower with bearish bias continuing into next week
✅ Platinum up 5.1% breaking downtrend with improving bullish structure after 200 day bounce
✅ Nickel down 0.7% forming bullish pennant with high probability breakout to upside
