Join Peter Schiff for this week's Schiff Gold Friday Market Wrap as gold and silver reach new record highs! Discover why gold closed just below $3,900 and silver hit a 14-year high, and what these moves mean for investors. Peter breaks down the latest trends in precious metals, mining stocks (GDX, GDXJ), and the impact of inflation, central banks, and the ongoing government shutdown.
Fresh off the Metals Investor Forum in Vancouver, Cory and Shad recap the sentiment, company buzz, and investor conversations across the floor. Key topics Conference vibe: Packed retail presence, buoyed by record weekly closes for gold and silver; optimism ran high across presentations and networking. Silver dominates: Numerous new or refocused silver juniors, many trading at $50–80M market caps despite no resource yet - highlighting just how far valuations have re-rated. Financing window: A surge of bought deals without warrants and in-the-money warrant exercises is filling treasuries; expect higher liquidity as paper becomes free trading. Rotation watch: While silver stole the show, investors are diversifying into copper and uranium; rare earth processors have soared, with government support driving momentum in critical minerals. Risk appetite rising: Newsletter writers and investors moving down the food chain into early-stage drill plays; classic bull market behavior, but a reminder to manage risk and trim profits.

We're joined by TG Watkins, Director of Stocks at Simpler Trading and editor of Profit Pilot, for a deep dive into his current bull market playbook. TG shares insights on how he's positioning across multiple sectors during this risk-on environment and how traders can manage positions when stocks go vertical. Key topics discussed: Small-cap opportunities in a pro-growth, pro-business environment Three ways to manage stocks that have gone parabolic: covered calls, profit-taking, and buying dips Why market breadth is weakening despite indices pushing higher How TG uses leveraged ETFs (SOXL, IONL, GDXU, NUGT) to capture big moves without options risk Caution signs in precious metals equities and how to hedge with inverse ETFs (JDST, DUST) Hot sectors right now: semiconductors, quantum computing, and TG's top pick – drone stocks Click here to visit TG's site - Profit Pilot Stocks/ETFs Mentioned: Tesla (TSLA), IonQ (IONQ), AMD (AMD), Nvidia (NVDA), Barrick Gold (B), GLD, SLV, GDX, SOXL, GDXU, NUGT, JDST, DUST, IONL For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks: The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/ Investment Disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Rick Bensignor, President of Bensignor Investment Strategies and editor of Supposedly Irrelevant Factors, joins us to discuss practical trading strategies for persistent bull markets across U.S. equities, precious metals, and select international markets. We focus on how to manage winners without getting shaken out by every “it's overbought” headline. Key takeaways Separate long-term holdings from tactical trades. Trim or hedge positions at technical targets instead of selling outright. Spotting exhaustion signals at highs with tools like DeMark counts. Case studies: trimming $TSLA, $INTC, $PAAS; tactical put spreads in $GLD. Why most investors should limit trading to 10-15% of assets and let ETFs ($SPY, $QQQ, $DIA) compound long term. Stocks & ETFs mentioned SPY, QQQ, DIA, TSLA, PAAS, SLV, GLD, GDX, INTC, NVDA, PFE.

Key highlights include the FOMC meeting, quadruple witching day, and impressive gains in gold and silver. Gold rose by 1.1%, closing near $3,685, while silver surged 2.8% in a single day, ending the week 1.8% higher. Gold and silver mining stocks outperformed, with the GDX and GDXJ indices achieving remarkable gains. Schiff discusses the impact of the Federal Reserve's rate cuts on gold and other markets, emphasizing the bullish outlook for precious metals. He also covers notable financial developments, such as Morgan Stanley's updated 60/40 portfolio to include gold, signaling a potential shift away from US Treasuries. Schiff encourages viewers to invest in gold and silver now, ahead of further market movements, and highlights the long-term bullish prospects for precious metals and mining stocks.

In this Daily Editorial, we are joined by Jim Tassoni, CEO of Armor Wealth Strategies, for his monthly trader's perspective. Jim is a momentum trader, and in today's conversation he shares how he's navigating what feels like a “buy anything” market where both risk-on and risk-off assets are moving higher. We cover: Momentum in equity markets - the S&P and NASDAQ hitting new all-time highs, and how Jim manages positions with tactical trims and adds. Trading around news events - using volatility from Fed decisions, inflation, and jobs data to adjust exposure without breaking trend. Sector opportunities - broadening exposure with ETFs like QQQ, RSP, and XLF; increasing interest in healthcare as a potential catch-up sector. Commodity momentum - strong moves in gold, silver, platinum, and steel via ETFs (GLD, SLV, GDX, PLTM, SLX), and how Jim manages entries and trims. Precious metals outlook - GDX breaking above its 2011 peak, silver pushing toward $50, and why Jim prefers to let momentum dictate exits rather than trying to call a top. Market psychology - parallels to the late-1990s “buy anything” market, and why discipline and exit levels matter in case of a downturn.

Fresh off the Beaver Creek Precious Metals Summit, Cory and Shad break down what they saw and heard across meetings with companies, funds, family offices, and active investors. Key topics Conference vibe & flows: One of the busiest Beaver Creeks in years; more meetings with investors (not just corporates). Sentiment broadly bullish. Producers vs. juniors: Developers and producers pushing larger programs and timelines; many juniors still lagging due to thin newsflow, warrant overhangs, or unclear work plans. “Early innings?”: Why calling this the start of the cycle is misleading - majors and ETFs have been trending for years; juniors are now playing catch-up. Timelines that matter: PEA → FS fast-tracks, bulk samples, and small-scale production - where that can work and where it can go wrong. Warrants everywhere: In-the-money warrants fueling treasuries and rotation; how investors are exercising, clipping, and reallocating. Rotation watch: While gold leads, eyes are turning to copper, uranium, and critical minerals for the next leg. Stocks / symbols mentioned NEM (Newmont), AEM (Agnico Eagle), GDX, GDXJ Macro & rotation talk (no recommendations): uranium, copper, critical minerals — For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks: The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/ Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, CMT, MFTA, Editor and Publisher of The Daily Gold, and author of the book “Gold & Silver – The Greatest Bull Market Has Begun – A Once In A Lifetime Investment Opportunity”, joins us to review his medium-term technical outlook for the precious metals space, the potential paths towards an interim top and corrective move in the gold and silver stocks, and the bigger-picture intermarket analysis themes that complicate this path forwards. Key topics discussed: The shorter-term to medium-term technical pattern in gold is a bit murky, on whether: it will just make a $200-$300 run higher and then top out, or… if it has the energy to blast up past $4,000-$4,200, completing the logarithmic extension of the longer-term 13 year cup and handle pattern breakout, before putting in a more meaningful corrective move, or… if what we are seeing now is really more of a false breakout that is already hitting buying exhaustion and is going to run out of steam in these overbought readings. When looking at the gold stocks, via GDX and GDXJ, the breadth signals that 75% of stocks inside these ETFS have been making new 52-week highs over the last week, coupled with overbought readings on the longer duration charts, has him watching for the conditions where the gold stocks may quit advancing as aggressively, and top out and turn down before gold does. He notes that we are definitely not in the early stages of this move, but rather we are much closer to the end of this current move up in gold stocks, before reaching an area where pricing will roll over and consolidate to the downside for a period of time. What complicates this outlook is that the gold stocks in the GDX and GDXJ just broke out against the 60/40 portfolio of US general equities and bonds, and that there is a lot of institutional capital still very underweight this sector that wants to come in and get into position. This may mean that pullbacks are immediately bought up, and that corrective targets are not hit. He mentions that the recent corrective move in gold didn't even reach the 200-day moving average as an example before ramping back higher again. This is all symptomatic of a larger bull market process underway. With regards to silver, the pricing has approached overhead resistance at the $41-$42 level as anticipated, and he is watching here to see if this is where the metal may pause and regroup at a lower level, before building the energy to make it definitively through the $42 resistance zone in the move to test the all-time high at $50 at a later date. He points out that a lot of the silver stocks have been going through the roof with rhino-horn moves, and that many of these stocks should be “rented but not owned for the longer-term.” There is a lack of quality silver-focused projects and companies of size, and many “base metals companies parading around as silver stocks,” and that investors should be careful in this space and know what they own and what the value drivers are.

In this KE Report Daily Editorial (Tuesday, September 2nd), we welcome back TG Watkins, Director of Stocks at Simpler Trading and editor of the Profit Pilot. We start with the weak opening for September as the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow all pull back while the VIX spikes higher. TG shares his perspective on: Why August and September are historically weak months for equities. The impact of institutional book-squaring and seasonality (including the "Sell Rosh Hashanah, Buy Yom Kippur" effect). Whether shallow pullbacks remain buying opportunities - or if a deeper correction is needed. We also dive into precious metals, with gold nearing $3,600 and silver pushing above $41. TG breaks down the technical setups in GLD, GDX, and SIL, explaining how sideways consolidation and moving averages have set the stage for today's breakout. Finally, TG highlights opportunities he's tracking in crypto and COIN, which appear to be stabilizing after recent weakness.

Another potential private placement is in due diligence now — one of Gerardo's personal favorite assets, with drilling starting in the next few weeks. Existing subscribers will have first access. Click here: https://bit.ly/4lwpstO to learn more about becoming a member of Private Placement Intel, or call Jimmy Mengel in Customer Experience at 844-334-4700.The free version of the 330th episode of Investing in Bizarro World is now published.Here's what was covered:Macro Musings - Gerardo and Nick return from summer family time to a market backdrop that's anything but quiet. The PPI came in at 0.9% — more than four times higher than expected — underscoring that inflation is far from “transitory.” Yet betting markets still give a 90% chance of a September rate cut, with some calling for 50 basis points. Stocks, crypto, and gold are all at or near all-time highs: gold between $3,275–$3,400 and silver consolidating between $36-$38. Copper remains range-bound after Trump's tariff flip-flop, but deficits still loom. Both expect a packed fall conference season (Beaver Creek, Denver Gold Forum) with strong M&A potential. They also dig into tariffs — slamming the economic hit to U.S. companies — and praise the administration's $1 billion push for critical minerals, uranium, and rare earth recycling.Market Takes - The conversation turns to why September and October could be the most consequential months of Gerardo's career, thanks to multiple core exploration positions drilling right now. Hannan Metals and Kingsmen Resources are both advancing key programs, with results expected before or during conference season. Nick notes GDX and GDXJ breakouts mean juniors will be rewarded for good news. They also stress that in a bull market, management teams should release standout drill results quickly rather than sitting on them.Bizarro Banter - From Ghislaine Maxwell's work release to the National Guard in D.C., the hosts rail against America's two-tier justice system — where both elites and certain protected groups get passes while the middle class shoulders the rules and costs. The discussion ranges from failed presidential policies over decades to creeping government overreach, Orwellian parallels, and the risks of trading liberty for safety. The takeaway: own assets, think independently, and don't get trapped in partisan blinders.Premium Portfolio Picks - For paid listeners only.

In this episode of Mining Stock Daily, Trevor Hall and Jordan Roy-Byrne from The Daily Gold delve into the remarkable outperformance of gold miners over gold itself. Despite gold's slight dip, miners like GDX and GDXJ are on a tear, consistently outperforming the metal. Jordan explains the factors driving this trend, including the inflation-adjusted price of gold and silver, and the potential for continued strength in miners over the next 12 to 18 months.
Craig Hemke, founder and editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to break down the recent volatility in precious metals following last week's gold tariff headlines - and the immediate backtrack.

We discuss: Why gold's fundamentals remain bullish despite short-term noise and political headlines. The standout performance of gold and silver mining stocks, with GDX hitting highs not seen since 2011. How recent earnings reports reveal producers are far more profitable than many investors expected. Silver's breakout above $37–$38, its best levels in over a decade, and what it means for margins in Q3. The macro backdrop - weak economic data, Fed policy expectations, and the impact on the US dollar and metals prices. Craig also shares insights on positioning from the CoT reports, the potential for further upside in both metals, and why institutional sentiment could be shifting in favor of gold and silver producers.

In this KE Report Daily Editorial, we're joined by Craig Hemke, founder and editor of TFMetalsReport.com, for a timely and wide-ranging discussion on the intersection of geopolitics, precious metals, the US dollar, and mining equities. We kick things off with the surprising market reaction to US missile strikes in Iran - including the sharp reversal in oil prices and the perception that escalation may be de-escalating. Craig explains why weekend geopolitical events often produce less market volatility by the time trading resumes, and how this specific event might mirror the short-lived Israel-Iran tensions from late 2024. We then shift focus to the precious metals markets, where: The US Dollar Index hovering at 98 is acting as a pivotal level. A breakdown toward 96 could serve as a tailwind for both gold and silver, with gold already consolidating around $3,400. Craig sees signs of a summer rally for precious metals, especially if the dollar weakens further. Silver backwardation and contract rollovers are creating short-term volatility, particularly with July contracts nearing expiration. A strong monthly and quarterly close for silver could set the stage for a technical breakout. On the mining equities side: Craig notes Newmont (NEM) is up ~50% YTD but still lagging more efficient operators. He expects a positive Q2 earnings season for miners, driven by significantly higher average gold and silver prices. However, not all equities will benefit equally. Craig emphasizes focusing on companies with low all-in sustaining costs, wide margins, and disciplined cost controls. He also sees last week's weakness in GDX as potentially related to NYSE options expiration and short-term oil price fears—not a broader trend reversal. We also preview Fed Chair Powell's congressional testimony and the mixed signals from the FOMC dot plot, as well as the uncertainty created by potential tariff reinstatements under Trump.

We're joined by Jordan Roy-Byrne, CMT, MFTA, Editor and Publisher of The Daily Gold, for an in-depth look at short-term risks and long-term opportunities in the precious metals space. Jordan kicks off with a cautionary technical read: major ETFs like GDX, GDXJ, and HUI are flashing overbought signals across all key moving averages. Despite this, he points out that not all stocks are stretched, especially among select juniors, which are just beginning to move. We then dive into: Rotation into juniors and silver stocks, with Jordan's proprietary junior silver index up 83% in just two months Silver's breakout above $35 and upside targets toward $41, including key resistance and closing levels to watch A historical analog of gold bull markets, comparing today's setup to the explosive 1970s and the slower 2005 cycle Why Jordan believes $4,500+ gold is possible, and how to manage the cyclical corrections likely to occur along the way The importance of individual stock selection and timely trimming as volatility increases in a true bull market Jordan also highlights a critical takeaway: bull markets reward active management, and identifying which stocks still offer value will be key as momentum rotates.

Christopher Aaron, Founder of iGold Advisor, Elite Private Placements, and Senior Editor at the Gold Eagle website, joins me to review his medium to longer-term technical outlook on gold, GDX, silver, SIL, and the junior mining stocks by way of the TSX Venture exchange. This is a longer-format video where we really dive into the technical analysis setups in the precious metals sector, and he lays out the historical case and patterns to why we haven't seen the really big moves yet. The setups are in place for potential life-changing gains over the next 1-2 years in the junior gold and silver stocks. Christopher lays out the technical case for why sector sentiment has been lagging for years, compared to prior cycles, and refreshingly, it has nothing to do with margins, dilution, or competing moves higher in the US equities. He points to a number of recent breakouts or emerging breakouts on many charts that will start to attract more investor momentum over the next 12-18 months. Therefore, he points out that this is not time to ring the register on PM trades and that as the metals and equities work through their near-term resistance levels, that we'll see much higher prices that will surprise even the PM bulls.

Dana Lyons, fund manager and editor of The Lyons Share Pro, outlines why his market models remain bullish, with both U.S. and international equities flashing green signals. In this KE Report Daily Editorial, we welcome back Dana Lyons to dive into where his internal models see opportunity right now. Despite a volatile year, Dana's models have stayed ahead of the major swings, turning cautious before the April correction, and then flipping bullish in time for the rebound. Key Discussion Themes: Current Market Outlook: Dana's objective, model-driven strategy remains bullish following the April washout and rebound. He sees the potential for a continued uptrend in U.S. equities. Sector Rotation in the U.S.: Aerospace & defense, industrials, utilities, and insurance have shown strong relative strength. Even parts of tech, like cybersecurity, are nearing new highs. International Market Leadership: Dana highlights Europe, especially Germany, Italy, and the UK, as the top-performing region. Japan, Argentina, and Canada are also on his radar. Precious Metals & Miners: Gold remains constructive, but Dana's focus is on GDX, GDXJ, and SIL - miners that have consolidated and look poised for a new leg higher. Uranium Setup: After a sharp rebound, Dana is watching URA closely for a consolidation and potential breakout above key levels, eyeing $40+ targets longer term.
In this KE Report Daily Editorial, we're joined by Dave Erfle, founder and editor of the Junior Miner Junky, to assess the current setup in the precious metals sector and junior mining stocks as we kick off a shortened U.S. trading week. Despite gold pulling back as much as $75 intraday, Dave notes that junior gold and silver stocks are showing strong resilience and outperformance, with many breaking out from long-term bases. GDX and GDXJ are down modestly, while the TSX Venture Exchange continues to hit 52-week highs, a bullish divergence that Dave believes signals the next leg of the bull market. Key topics discussed include: Rotation from producers and royalty companies into higher-risk juniors Why this bull market in precious metals equities could be more sustained and structured than past cycles Ongoing M&A activity in the silver sector and signs of more to come The case for continued consolidation in gold around $3,300 as miners and developers play catch-up A focus on copper developers, and why quality, economics, and access to capital are driving outperformance Risks of “too much money” chasing “too many companies” and how to stay selective in a frothy market Click here to visit the Junior Miner Junky website to learn more about Dave's investment letter.
Tom Bodrovics welcomes back Brett Heath, CEO of Metalla Royalty and Streaming, to discuss the current state of the gold industry. Brett highlights a strong bid under gold, driven by macroeconomic factors such as shifting perceptions around US assets and central bank diversification into gold. He notes that emerging market economies are reducing their exposure to US treasuries and increasing gold reserves, creating sustained demand. Brett emphasizes the undervalued nature of gold equities compared to historical standards, suggesting they are attractively priced for investors seeking stability and cash flow. He points to increased M&A activity as companies scramble to acquire high-quality assets amid a scarcity of scalable projects. Brett also discusses the speculative nature of silver, which is currently underperforming relative to gold, but sees potential for a rebound if sentiment shifts. Overall, Brett paints a bullish picture for gold, with significant long-term appreciation expected despite short-term volatility. He urges investors to monitor trends in asset valuation and central bank activity, signaling that now may be an opportune time to invest in high-quality gold assets.

Jim Tassoni, CEO of Armor Wealth Strategies, joins me for his monthly market insights, focusing on short to mid-term momentum trading strategies. We begin by revisiting the gold trade, where Jim explains how he capitalized on the rally up to $3,500 before rotating from the metal into GDX. While the gold trade proved successful, miners have yet to deliver. Jim outlines the technical levels he's watching for GDX and shares how sentiment among clients is rising sharply for gold, potentially signaling a shift in long-term allocations. The conversation then broadens to the U.S. equity markets. Although his short at SPY $550 initially worked, he was stopped out on the reversal. He now takes a more cautious stance, waiting for a breakout above SPY $600 to re-engage. We also cover: Sector outlooks: Tech surging, healthcare struggling, financials breaking out Oil breakdown: Why Jim has favored short positions and the key resistance to watch U.S. dollar bounce: A contrarian long trade off April lows targeting DXY 104–105 Reduced position sizing: With momentum fading, Jim is sitting on more cash and focusing on selective entries For ongoing updates from Jim Tassoni, click here.
Dave Erfle, founder and editor of The Junior Miner Junky, joins me to break down the latest moves in the precious metals markets and what they could mean for investors. We begin with Monday's sharp correction in gold and major mining stocks, driven by trade deal optimism between the U.S. and China. Dave explains why silver held up surprisingly well and what the resilience in juniors might signal about sector rotation. Key topics include: A closer look at Pan American Silver's $2.1B acquisition of MAG Silver - one of the biggest silver M&A deals in years. The disconnect between strong ETF gold inflows and weak fund flows into GDX and senior miners. How Newmont's Q1 free cash flow surge and broad-based earnings strength are attracting generalist investors. Why a potential 15% gold price correction to $2,950-$3,000 could be healthy for the ongoing bull market. Outlook for continued silver M&A, with majors hunting for growth through acquisition. We also touch on the macro backdrop, including the latest CPI data and the stagflation risk narrative building in U.S. markets. Dave highlights what he's watching next, and why juniors with strong bases could be the next big winners in this cycle.

Jordan Roy-Byrne, CMT, MFTA, Editor of The Daily Gold, joins us to for a wide-ranging discussion on the technical outlook in gold and silver, the ongoing divergence between the rally in the gold versus the US general equity markets and 60/40 portfolio, gold vs CPI, GDX versus US equities, and the value still to be found in precious metals equities for the longer-term, after this pullback is completed. Key topics covered include: Why technically we are seeing more of a bear flag developing in this recent gold pullback, versus a bull flag, and what may happen longer term after this corrective move. Silver and gold stocks didn't lead this move higher in the sector, but after this consolidation period, they will likely outperform the moves higher in gold on the next leg of this bull market. What we could see a true golden age in both the gold and silver stocks over the next 18 months. We're in a market where you aren't going to see big 20-30% corrections in the quality PM stocks, and why pullbacks of 15-17% should be bought. The gold producer margins are so much higher that they simply won't correct too much while they are generating such significant revenues and cash flows. Look for the quality gold producers generating profits and value. Pullbacks will be more shallow because there is a large pool of capital on the sidelines waiting to get into position in the precious metals complex on any weakness, as more money rotates out of general equities. There are some compelling opportunities in gold developers that will build a mine and go into production in the next 3 years. You get some of the best upside when a company goes from a construction decision into production. There are also development projects with flaws that will not get built or will not be able to raise capital. These developers will become orphaned, and value traps, so investors need to be selective. Jordan believes there is huge value in silver stocks right, maybe even more than in gold stocks, but he has specific thresholds he wants to see for the size of resources, average grade profile, and indications that it will become a mine. When silver gets back above $35 and breaks out above $37, then money will pour into the silver stocks, starting to discount in advance the move to $50 in silver.

Dave Erfle - Money Rotation Into Gold Juniors, M&A, and Silver's Setup In this KE Report interview, Dave Erfle, founder and editor of Junior Miner Junky, joins us to explore the recent rotation from senior gold producers to juniors, what it means for the broader bull market, and how M&A and fund flows are shaping the precious metals narrative. Dave breaks down key technical signals, fund positioning, and stock-specific strategies to help investors position ahead of the next phase. As gold consolidates near all-time highs and generalist money trickles in, Dave shares what separates the outperformers from the laggards, and where smart capital is going next. Key discussion points: Sector rotation underway: Juniors are gaining traction, especially as early investors take profits from majors and royalty names. ETF fund flows diverging: GLD sees ~$7B in inflows YTD while GDX sees ~$3B in outflows. M&A returns to early-stage assets: Lumina Gold's acquisition and other recent deals show growing interest in de-risked development-stage projects. Where to look next: Dave outlines the sweet spot - fully financed, late-stage developers nearing production or takeover - while cautioning on dilution risks and poor share structures in early-stage juniors. Silver stock selectivity: A small basket of well-funded, high-grade, tight-structure silver juniors is beginning to move, especially those with strong U.S. listings and institutional visibility.

Jim Tassoni, CEO of Armored Wealth Strategies, joins us for his technical outlook on markets and resources. Jim is a momentum-focused trader targeting mid-term trends, and in this conversation, he shares how he's navigating one of the most volatile stretches of the year. Despite a recent bounce in markets, Jim sees continued downside risk across major indices. He explains why his team initiated a short position on SPY, where they'd increase it, and what key technical levels they're watching to shift bullish. Jim also outlines a profitable short trade in IWM (small caps) and why the construction of the index keeps him cautious. We then dive into gold and the broader precious metals space, where Jim remains long and bullish, but he's watching for a better re-entry point after a strong move. He outlines extension targets up to $3,600 for gold and levels of interest on GDX and copper. On energy, Jim shares insights into a well-timed short crude oil trade and the critical levels he's tracking that could signal a reversal. Finally, we wrap with international exposure, as Jim details his active long positions in Japan and China, including FXI and EWJ, and his key stop-loss levels.

Dave Erfle, Editor of Junior Miner Junky, returns to share his outlook on the quick rebound in gold and silver stocks. After a sharp but short-lived correction, quality mining equities have staged a swift and powerful comeback, outpacing major indices and defying the broader market weakness. We start by discussing the recent volatility and investor psychology around gold equities. Dave explains why holding through the shakeout rewarded conviction and how the GDX and GDXJ bounced off key moving averages. Dave outlines how this rebound was driven by technical setups and extreme undervaluation relative to metal prices, especially gold, which remains close to record highs. We also examine silver's massive reversal and how thin positioning created the perfect setup for a rally. The conversation then shifts to positioning and sector rotation, with Dave noting how capital is now flowing into undervalued juniors. He shares his approach to managing risk and capital rotation, explaining how he evaluates which juniors have upside and which are weighed down by dilution or permitting risk. We also explore standout examples of strategic M&A. Discovery Silver's acquisition of the Porcupine complex is cited as a transformational shift from optionality to production. Similarly, Endeavour Silver's deal in Peru and upcoming Terronera production growth highlights the transformation in select stocks. Dave emphasizes the importance of looking ahead and how valuations are driven by forward expectations, not past results.

He shares his current market positioning, explains how his Moxie Indicator helped anticipate the recent market bounce, and highlights the importance of risk-reward setups when trading during uncertain times.

Gold broke out to new highs on Friday: $3,237/oz. It is proving one of the prime beneficiaries of all the market mayhem, and no surprise. Gold is your hedge against government, and this is all a creation of government.Where to park capital? Equities are all over the place and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. With US authorities transparent about wanting it lower, the US dollar is not the safe haven it's been since 2007 in market sell-offs. As for treasuries, they've become a weapon in the trade wars.Inert gold, on the other hand, is neutral. It doesn't care which side of the trade wars, the culture wars, or any other wars you're on, and at the moment, it seems everyone wants a piece.China, we learn thanks to the sleuthing of analyst Jan Nieuwenhuijs, bought another 570 tonnes in 2024. Who knows how much more it has bought in 2025? To put that 570-tonne number in perspective, the UK's total holdings are 310 tonnes.Tell your friends.What's driving it all?This move in gold started shortly after the US confiscated $300 billion in Russian state holdings after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It hasn't been driven by retail. Central bank buying has pushed up the price.If you're not on Team US or Team G7, why own assets they can confiscate, like dollars or treasuries?Own gold instead. The US would have to invade you to take your gold—or send in Kelly's Heroes.In 1950, gold made up 70% of international reserves. In the noughties, it was just 10%. The dollar, meanwhile, reached 60%, with the euro at another 20%.Now gold is at 20%, the dollar at 45%, and the euro at 15%. The trend is clear, as this cool little video from Nieuwenhuijs and Money Metals shows:In my opinion, we'll be at 40% five years from now.Here's gold since late 2022. Every pullback has been bought. It's as though someone with deep pockets is saying, “Buy the pullback every time it hits the 50-day moving average (red line).”The UK seems to have been forgotten in this global rout, but I have little doubt the chickens of our shocking national finances and woeful productivity will soon come home to roost in the form of a sterling crisis. That's when we overlooked Britishers will be mighty glad we have our gold.Gold is now £2,475/oz. Another year of this, and we'll be north of £3,000.Summer is approaching, and May to August is typically when gold is weakest. Take advantage of pullbacks, is my advice. Do what the Chinese are doing. They're smarter than we are (when it comes to gold, at least).With oil having cratered, we should finally see gold miners fetch a proper bid. (They are already moving a little). Energy can represent 15% to 40% of mining costs. Lower costs and a higher price for the final product should mean they make more money, and thus higher share prices. (I'll cover miners again soon, I promise, though I am worried I'll jinx it)Here's something Charlie Morris observed—and you really should subscribe to his gold newsletter, Atlas Pulse; it's top dog in a crowded field - it's free. GDX is the largest gold mining ETF by far. Despite higher gold prices, it's seen outflows of 25% over the past year. When inflows start, these things will rocket. The sector is tiny relative to the capital out there.Here's three years of Brent, FYI. It's almost the reverse of gold. Good for mining.If you're interested in buying gold, by the way - and you should own some, if you don't already, given everything that is going on - the bullion dealer I recommend is the Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them.

Dave Erfle, founder and editor of Junior Miner Junkie, joins us to break down the sharp reversals in gold, silver, and mining stocks, and where investors should be focusing next. Silver surged above $35 in a near-term breakout before crashing below $30 in just days. Gold, despite recent selling, is still holding around $3,000 and proving its strength as other sectors falter. Dave explains why this price action might just be a healthy shakeout and how false breakouts in GDX and GDXJ are setting new resistance levels. We also dive into: Why fully financed juniors and late-stage developers stand out How producers are positioned for strong Q1 results—if the market pays attention The growing M&A trend, with a few smaller deals announced recently Click here to visit the Junior Miner Junky website to learn more about Dave's investment letter.
Dave Erfle, Editor of the Junior Miner Junky joins us to break down a remarkable Q1 for the precious metals sector - and what it could signal for the quarters ahead. Key discussion highlights: Gold's record-breaking quarter: Gold posted its best quarterly performance in 39 years, closing Q1 up ~17%, while major mining ETFs like GDX surged ~35%, far outpacing broader market indices that struggled through their worst Q1 since 2022. Profit margins hit historic highs: Gold producers saw margin expansion with some like Agnico Eagle achieving all-in sustaining costs below $1,300/oz vs. gold prices nearing $2,900/oz. Investor capital still favoring gold ETFs over miners: Despite strong performance, Dave notes generalist investors are still hesitant to rotate into mining stocks, preferring the simplicity and perceived safety of gold ETFs. Low volumes in GDX/GDXJ reinforce that this trend hasn't fully shifted. Structural issues in gold equity performance: The launch of ETFs like GDX and GDXJ coincided with the sector's long-term underperformance vs. the gold price. Outside of short bursts in 2008, 2016, and 2020, gold stocks have lagged behind, prompting the question: can the trend reverse? Outlook for retail interest and sector rotation: Dave emphasizes that a return of retail investors and increased fund allocation are key to sustaining the rally in miners. With the broader market weakening, he sees a growing opportunity for rotation — but it hasn't materialized in full force yet. Silver's critical level and broader sector leverage: Silver needs to break and hold above $35/oz to ignite the next leg up, particularly for silver equities and high-beta junior miners. Until then, performance will likely remain selective and stock-specific. Click here to visit the Junior Miner Junky website to learn more about Dave's investment letter.
Gold just closed Q1 over $3,100, up nearly 20% year-to-date, marking one of the strongest quarterly performances in recent memory. Craig Hemke, editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to break down what's driving this strength and why the equities haven't fully caught up. The GDX and GDXJ ETFs continue to lag, weighed down by large-cap underperformers like Newmont and Barrick. However, many individual gold and silver stocks have delivered outsized gains. Craig emphasizes this is a stock picker's market, not a time to rely on passive ETFs. We also discuss: How Q1 earnings could finally spotlight the widened margins across producers. The divergence between precious metals and broad markets (with the S&P down ~10% since February). Why silver's lag is mostly due to heavy futures positioning, despite strong physical demand.

Craig Hemke, Founder and Editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to recap a standout Q1 for gold and silver, with gold holding above $3,000 and GDX at 12-year highs. He explains why this week could bring short-term volatility, driven by options expiry, contract rollovers, and end-of-quarter positioning. We discuss the surprising strength in gold at $3,000, silver's steady climb but lagging stocks, and copper pushing near record highs with little fanfare. Craig also shares thoughts on macro risks, political uncertainty, and why stagflation may be the path forward. Click here to visit Craig's website - TF Metals Report
Tom welcomes back Robert Sinn to share his background in precious metals, junior mining, and biotech investing. Robert emphasizes the attractiveness of gold mining equities due to their underappreciated nature and the potential for significant returns. He highlights that the sector is less competitive compared to mainstream stocks like Apple or Microsoft, offering investors an edge through lower competition and fewer institutional players. Sinn structures his portfolio by considering market capitalization and volatility, allocating smaller percentages to high-risk junior miners (e.g., 2-3%) and larger allocations to more stable major miners (e.g., 10%). He prioritizes risk management, focusing on potential losses before profit opportunities. He also advises against holding overly concentrated positions in volatile stocks, suggesting that investors should cap their exposure based on market feedback. He touches on the macroeconomic backdrop, particularly the secular bull market for gold driven by central banks' increased demand, especially from China and India. Sinn notes that gold's role as a safe-haven asset is becoming more pronounced amid global uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. He also discusses the potential impact of tariffs and trade policies under the current administration on gold prices, suggesting that these factors could further drive demand. Sinn critiques the use of ETFs like GDX to gauge the entire mining sector, arguing that such funds are skewed towards larger companies and may not reflect broader trends. Instead, he advocates for a more nuanced approach, examining individual company performance and pipeline projects. He also touches on the importance of China's gold accumulation, which has significantly influenced global markets, and the potential for a physical short squeeze in gold. While acknowledging the complexity of predicting such events, Sinn believes that gold's role as a hedge against inflation and economic instability will continue to drive its value. Finally, Sinn underscores the need for investors to understand both macroeconomic trends and micro-level company fundamentals, emphasizing the importance of staying informed and adaptable in a rapidly changing market landscape.

Kerry Lutz and David Erfle discussed the recent surge in gold and silver prices, with gold surpassing $2,900 per ounce, driven by political uncertainty and trade tensions, particularly due to tariffs from the Trump administration and China's responses. David noted that gold has reached four all-time high daily closes since the inauguration, contributing to a total of 40 highs over the past year, while mining stocks and silver are beginning to follow gold's upward trend. He highlighted the resurgence of junior mining stocks, linked to Trump's streamlined permitting process, and mentioned the significant stock performance of Trilogy. Kerry criticized the government's previous decision to revoke the Ambler Road project's permit, while David pointed out that British Columbia is expediting permits for 18 projects, positively impacting stock prices. They both expressed optimism about the mining sector's future, with David analyzing critical resistance levels in the GDX and GDXJ indices, suggesting that a weekly close above $40 in GDX and $35 in silver could indicate bullish momentum. He also noted the positive market sentiment surrounding junior mining stocks and the potential for explosive growth in this sector.
