Recording Date 8-24-2026. In this episode, Rick explains why gold could face near-term softness if long-term U.S. interest rates remain elevated, but argues that further government intervention to suppress yields could ultimately strengthen the bullish case for gold. We discuss silver's role as the more speculative precious metal, including why Rick believes gold normally leads precious-metals bull markets before generalist capital rotates into silver. On copper, Rick highlights strong prices but warns that the world's top 10 copper companies may require more than $250 billion in constant 2025 dollars simply to maintain existing production.
I also get Rick's outlook on uranium, where spot is around $89 and longer-term contracting is occurring at a premium as utilities focus increasingly on supply and energy security. We discuss Japan's 43-plant nuclear fleet, with roughly 18 or 19 reactors restarted and potentially around 20 more awaiting restart, along with China's nuclear expansion. Rick explains why oil could soften after an armistice yet face a structural shortage around 2029–2030 because of chronic underinvestment. We examine Exxon, Chevron, U.S. LNG, platinum, palladium and nickel before turning to Banyan, Prospector Metals and Gladiator Metals. Rick closes by warning that markets could become choppier while high-quality resource companies remain attractively valued and an emerging M&A cycle could reward patient investors.
 
Key Insights In This Episode
✅ Gold could weaken short term before a stronger long-term move.
✅ Silver could outperform once investors rotate from gold.
✅ Copper producers face over $250 billion in sustaining costs.
✅ Uranium benefits from tightening supply and nuclear expansion.
✅ Oil faces a potential structural shortage by 2029–2030.
✅ Resource stocks could benefit from a growing M&A cycle.

Recording Date 8-21-2026. The S&P 500 had slipped 1.4%, the dollar had fallen 0.8%, and the US 10-year yield had risen 0.9%, but the real story was happening in commodities. Gold exploded 5.5% and pushed through its 200-day moving average, with my next major resistance zone sitting around $4,775 to $4,800. GDX was even stronger, surging 14.3%, while PHYS gained 5.3%. I'm bullish on the direction, but gold's daily RSI near 74 tells me this is not where I want to chase. Silver gained 6.8%, PSLV climbed 8.4%, and SIL jumped 11.2%. With mining ETFs potentially delivering 50% plus moves from recent entry areas, I think taking 10% to 15% off near major targets can be prudent.
I also see improving setups across copper, uranium and energy. COPX gained 10.4% after breaking its triangle, while uranium rose 2.2% to roughly $89.40 per pound and longer term contracts were around $95.50. SRUUF held about 81.7 million pounds off the market and remained near a 10% discount, while URNM climbed 6.7%. WTI oil bounced 5.2%, Brent gained 5.4%, and XLE rose 2.3%. Natural gas improved 1.8%, with roughly $2.90 becoming an important breakout level. I'm also watching platinum after its 7.9% rally, palladium after a 1.9% gain, nickel up 1.5%, and PICK for exposure to companies including Rio Tinto, Freeport and Glencore. My broader thesis remains that AI data centers and global electrification could add substantial demand for uranium, copper, oil, natural gas and coal.
 
Key Insights in this episode
✅ Gold surged 5.5% and could test the major $4,775 to $4,800 resistance zone.
✅ GDX jumped 14.3% while SIL gained 11.2%, creating potential trim opportunities after major miner rallies.
✅ Silver gained 6.8% but faces significant resistance around the $71 to $72 area.
✅ Uranium reached about $89.40 with Steve expecting improving seasonality and stronger upside potential.
✅ COPX rallied 10.4% as copper miners broke out, while copper itself needs to clear the $6.87 high.
✅ Energy demand from AI and electrification strengthens the long-term case for uranium, copper, oil, gas and coal.

In this episode, I start with the U.S. Dollar Index and show why I require at least three points of contact before I consider a trend line valid. I then break down the DXY's long-term structure, explain why repeated touches make a trend line meaningful, and demonstrate how parallel channels can provide an even stronger framework by defining both support and resistance. I also highlight a potential bear flag and explain why I think the dollar could eventually weaken and break below its roughly 15-year parallel channel.
I then move to silver and trace a major trend line connecting its historic peaks around 1980 and 2011 with its more recent price action. I explain how repeated resistance tests occurred increasingly quickly before silver finally broke through, illustrating the "bouncy ball" concept. That former resistance could now become powerful support, and I believe it could ultimately provide a springboard toward higher silver prices in the coming years. Finally, I examine physical uranium through SRUUF and show how its rising trend line has repeatedly provided support despite a temporary breakdown.
 
Key Insights In This Episode
✅ I require at least three points of contact before I consider a trend line technically valid.
✅ I view parallel channels as stronger tools because they simultaneously establish support and resistance.
✅ I see a bear flag in the DXY and believe the dollar could eventually break below its 15 year channel.
✅ Silver repeatedly tested decades old resistance before finally breaking through the long term trend line.
✅ I believe silver's former resistance could become major support and a springboard toward higher prices.
✅ SRUUF shows how uranium can temporarily break a trend line before reclaiming it and restoring support.

In this episode, I break down exactly how I recognize these patterns and determine whether they have enough probability for me to put money on the line. Using Coca-Cola stock ticker KO, I start with a five-day 7% decline that developed into a strong bear flag and explain why I generally want at least 65% confidence before taking a trade, with 70% representing a strong setup and 75% being about as good as these patterns get.
I also show you how I use RSI and MACD alongside price action to determine when a flag is maturing and why I prefer roughly a 90-degree angle between the initial move and consolidation. I demonstrate how I calculate potential breakout targets using the flagpole, compare daily and intraday timeframes, and distinguish flags from pennants. I also explain how these patterns can appear sequentially during strong trends, why I avoid chasing setups when RSI reaches extremes, and how I use the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement as my cutoff for determining when a bull or bear flag is no longer valid.
 
Key Insights In This Episode
✅ Strong bull and bear flags can offer roughly 70% confidence, while 75% setups are considered rare.
✅ Steve requires at least 65% confidence before putting money behind a technical setup.
✅ Coca-Cola's 7% five-day decline provides the episode's clearest bear flag example.
✅ RSI and MACD help confirm whether momentum supports a bull or bear flag breakout.
✅ Multiple timeframes can expose flag and pennant structures hidden on the daily chart.
✅ A move beyond the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement invalidates Steve's flag setup.

Recording Date 8-14-2026. The S&P 500 gained 0.4% and looks like it may be breaking out of another bullish pennant, with a longer term measured target potentially reaching 8,200 to 8,300. At the same time, I see the U.S. dollar looking increasingly vulnerable while M2 money supply has expanded roughly 50% since COVID, which keeps monetary debasement front and center for me. Gold gained 0.9% and I believe the $3,950 area has become a major floor, although I expect some short-term cooling after the breakout. Silver gained 2.5%, but resistance inside its parallel channel has me leaning sideways to lower before the next bigger move.
Moving deeper into commodities, copper gained 0.3% and continues to respect a remarkably clean parallel channel, while uranium gained 0.9% and I believe its weak summer seasonality may finally be behind us. The biggest action came from energy, with WTI jumping 6.9%, Brent climbing 7.8%, and XLE surging 7.7%, and I still see room for oil to push higher if these bull flag setups continue working. Natural gas gained 2%, thermal coal rose 3.1%, met coal climbed 4.4%, and the coal ETF gained 3.7%, giving us several energy charts that are beginning to look constructive again. Platinum slipped 0.2% and palladium fell 3.8%, while nickel dropped 1.1% even though its developing inverse head and shoulders keeps my bias pointed higher for next week. I finish by looking at PICK and the major miners including Glencore, BHP, Rio Tinto, and Freeport McMoRan, where the short-term setup looks more cautious despite the potential strength developing underneath individual commodities.
 
Key Insights in this episode
✅ Oil WTI jumped 6.9%, Brent 7.8%, and XLE 7.7%, keeping the energy trend bullish.
✅ Gold Gold rose 0.9%, with key support near $4,225 to $4,250 and a floor around $3,950.
✅ Uranium Uranium gained 0.9%, while Sprott's uranium trust traded at a 7.5% discount.
✅ Silver Silver climbed 2.5%, but channel resistance keeps my short term bias cautious.
✅ Coal And Gas Natural gas rose 2%, while met coal gained 4.4%, showing improving energy momentum.
✅ S&P 500 And Dollar The S&P 500 gained 0.4%, while the DXY stayed flat and looks vulnerable near its 200 day moving average.
