What if the guy who literally wrote the book on asset allocation told you your biggest risk isn't the market…it's the person in your bathroom mirror? Neurologist-turned-market-historian William (Bill) Bernstein joins us for a fascinating conversation about his unlikely path from photochemistry to medicine to becoming the quiet godfather of Boglehead-style investing. He shares what shaped his "simple but not easy" philosophy, why he thinks all of investing is "half math, half Shakespeare," and how a homemade website in the 1990s turned into "The Intelligent Asset Allocator" and a second career. This episode covers: ✅ How a frustrated young scientist became a neurologist, then a financial theorist and writer ✅ Early investing mistakes (Palladium futures, hot funds, overconfidence) and what finally clicked ✅ The five hurdles from If You Can and why history and psychology matter as much as math  ✅ What makes a true bubble: social buzz, career-changing speculators, hostility to skeptics, wild predictions ✅ Predictions vs forecasts, and how Bill "called" the dot-com bubble and GFC without betting the farm ✅ His current mix: modest small/value tilts, cash/T-bills for sanity, and a TIPS ladder for 30 years of expenses ✅ Why a TIPS ladder feels different from a TIPS fund and why most investors still won't use one ✅ The 30-years-working / 30-years-retired "toy model" and why it implies 20–25%+ savings rates ✅ Teaching kids about money via your own behavior, crappy college jobs, and tiny three-fund portfolios ✅ A sober view of FIRE as a way out of the cubicle and into meaningful work—not a 36-year-old beach fantasy ====================   DEALS & DISCOUNTS FROM OUR TRUSTED PARTNERS   MONARCH MONEY The modern way to manage money! Monarch will change the way you organize your financial life.

Energy is the "800-pound gorilla" in the markets this week. As geopolitical tensions escalate in the Middle East and the Strait of Hormuz becomes a critical flashpoint, products like crude oil, heating oil, and RBOB are dominating the tape. Is this a permanent shift or a temporary shock? In this episode, host Mark Longo is joined by Brian Pieri, founder of Energy Rogue, to break down the "geopolitical premium" currently baked into energy prices. We dive deep into why energy is truly inescapable for any futures trader and why one specific product—heating oil—is outperforming the rest of the complex by nearly 30% in a single week. In this episode, you'll learn: The Strait of Hormuz Crisis: Why 20-25 million barrels a day are at risk and what "naval escorts" actually mean for supply. Crude Oil Outlook: Brian's case for why WTI and Brent might actually head back to the $60s despite the headlines. The "Heating Oil" Phenomenon: Analyzing the massive spread between gasoline (RBOB) and distillates.

Platinum and palladium are often overshadowed by gold and silver, but tightening supply, shifting auto demand, and renewed industrial momentum may be changing the story. We explore whether these overlooked precious metals are positioned for a breakout in a world balancing EV adoption and macro uncertainty.

In Part 2, we pick up where we left off in Part 1, with Sonia's life right after her stint at community college. She left the Bay Area to attend college up north at Chico State. Widely known as a party school (perhaps rightly so?), they also had a reputable journalism department and an award-winning newspaper. This attracted Sonia, of course. But some friends also attended, and that didn't hurt. Once in Chico, Sonia joined said college paper and got a job (where else?) at a movie theater. It was her first time to move out of her parents' house. She lived with a couple of roommates in Chico. That was one culture shock. Another was that, well, Chico isn't The Bay. And then there's those foothills winters. It also gets hotter in the summer there than it does in Concord. Sonia wrote for every section of the school paper, and even did some online writing, thanks to Chico State's early adoption of the internet. She even developed a little campus fan base. Sometimes walking around, she'd get shout-outs. There was even a Sonia character in one of the local comic strips. It was another phase of finding her people. She thinks that because all her roommates in Chico were men, she got really exciting to hang out with young women. She graduated after three years, in 1996. That Bay Area magnet snatched her back after that, and she moved in with her parents again in Concord. That gave way to an apartment she shared with her sister. Sonia got a job at the Martinez News-Gazette around this time, a three-day-a-week paper where she earned $213 per week. Anywhere she could find free food, she pounced. At the newspaper, she more or less did it all—cops, local and community news, school board meetings, and, of course, a humor column. I ask Sonia who her humor influences and inspirations are, and she immediately cites George Carlin (this is probably a big part of why we're friends). Her dad loved Carlin, too, and Sonia says the old man also has a wicked sense of humor that rubbed off on her. Another source of jokes was none other than Bugs Bunny. And lastly, Alan Alda's Hawkeye in M•A•S•H is another humor muse. That newspaper job led to her time at the San Francisco Independent, a paper owned by the Fang family. Sonia did a neighborhood beat on that job, reporting on school board, planning commission, and other community meetings. We rewind for a minute so Sonia can share early memories and impressions of San Francisco, having grown up across The Bay. When she was a kid, her grandma would take her to see The Nutcracker. She'd visit on other special occasions, but it wasn't until she was an adult that The City really grabbed hold of her heart. There's a hilarious story about showing up to dance at The Palladium wearing a "Ross Perot for President" T-shirt. Years later, with that job at the Independent, Sonia found herself in San Francisco most days. Though she had to write only three stories, the money was better and the circulation bigger than her previous job in Martinez. The beat was familiar—school board and planning commission meetings. She and her sister had bought a house for themselves in Concord, where they lived with her young niece. Eventually, the paper transferred Sonia to its Burlingame office, but it was to start writing movie reviews. Eventually, she even convinced the Independent to let her write TV show reviews. When the Fangs bought the San Francisco Examiner, they kept Sonia on to be their TV critic and moved her back to The City, to an office above the Warfield. She'll be the first to admit that when you're getting paid to watch TV, it's not so fun anymore. The paper cut Sonia, but brought her back three weeks later, this time to be the A&E editor. The Examiner was a slimmed-down, tabloid version of its former self. That's how it was a few years later when, fresh out of journalism school at SF State, I got a job there as a copy editor. I distinctly remember one of my favorite daily tasks was editing Sonia's celebrity gossip column—Scoop, which happened early in my shifts, around 4 p.m. or so. In the episode, I riff about how much I loved reading Scoop every day, even though I've never been good at or cared much for celebrity news. I also let Sonia know that I also appreciated her presence off the page, in the newsroom. She describes her time at The Examiner as something she loved, but it was also hard. She shares that, after working long days for little pay, she'd go home and play The Sims. Once, around 3 a.m., playing the game, her character was going to a party. And it clicked: Sonia couldn't remember the last time she went to a party. She needed to make some changes, and one was leaving The Examiner. First up was an HR temp job where her mom worked, in Vallejo. Next was a job writing press releases for a real estate company. Then she found work at a printing company in Oakland called PS Print. (Our lives intersected again around this time, but that's another story.) She helped them create a social media presence. Outside of work, Sonia had a blog (which she still has) called The Sonia Show. Check back tomorrow for Part 3 with Sonia. We recorded this episode at Rosamunde in The Mission in January 2026.

In Episode 21, Jonathan Drake continues his deep dive into Lysander Spooner's Trial by Jury, focusing on the objections raised against juries judging both law and fact. Building on last week's discussion of criminality, intent, and the erosion of liberty through statutory law, Jonathan dismantles the maxim that “ignorance of the law is no excuse” and challenges the idea that judges alone should define what law means. This episode explores the central tension between centralized authority and decentralized power, arguing that true liberty depends on juries acting as the final safeguard against tyranny. Jonathan walks through Spooner's responses to four major objections, addressing concerns about “ignorant” jurors, absolute jury power, and the risk of inconsistent verdicts. The conclusion is bold but consistent: it is better for justice to occasionally fail than for injustice to be systemically enforced. At its core, this episode frames trial by jury not as a procedural relic, but as the true palladium of liberty—and a necessary check on government overreach.

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius This week we were delighted to welcome Yes drummer Jay Schellen back on the YMP. Just like last time, we had a lovely conversation and Jay shared his thoughts about the forthcoming UK and European Fragile Tour as well as the new Yes album that is now being prepared for release in July (hopefully). It's clear from our interview that Jay is totally committed to the future development of the band and believes that the new album will be warmly received. We look forward to that, of course. What unexpected item does Jay take with him on tour? How does his kit differ from Alan White's Has Jay been more involved in the writing of the forthcoming album than his previous Yes records? Do let us know your thoughts in the comments below. Drama and Fragile Live - last time! YES -  FRAGILE UK TOUR 2026 YES Receive Stunning Reviews from USA leg of their FRAGILE tour,  which they bring to the UK in April and May 2026.  “Yes, quite possibly the most important Prog Rock originators and granddaddies of the genre, delivered deep cuts and their groundbreaking classic album, “Fragile,” in its glorious, delightfully indulgent, layered, and ambitious grandiosity tonight.” Sonic Nation, 11/10/25  “Prog-rock stalwarts Yes took the stage...bringing new energy to their classic sound.”  --Danielle Modica, NYS Music, 10/9/25  “Truly prog rock at its finest, if I do say so myself. They've still got the groove, the intensity, and the mythicality that established them as such a unique act over 50 years ago.”  Rock DNA Magazine - 5 stars – 5/10/25 Progressive Rock legends, YES, recently returned from the USA where they performed 31 shows on their Fragile Tour across the country.    They hit the road in the UK once more for a 9-date trek across the country starting on 22nd April at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow and ending with a two-night run at the prestigious Palladium in London on 3rd and 4th May.  The tour will see YES performing their 1971 classic album, ‘Fragile', in its entirety, including such timeless songs as ‘Heart of the Sunrise', ‘South Side of the Sky' and the much loved ‘Roundabout' as well as a selection of songs from right across their illustrious catalogue from their legendary 70`s releases right up to their current album, ‘Mirror To the Sky.' ‘Fragile' was the fourth album by YES cracking the Top 10 in the UK in 1971 achieving Platinum status along the way and was the first to feature keyboardist Rick Wakeman. The single, ‘Roundabout' was a Top 20 hit in the States with the album breaking into the Top 5 on the Billboard chart receiving a Double Platinum certification in the process.   Steve Howe: “After The Yes Album, everything seemed to align. With Eddie Offord co-producing, and each of us contributing solo pieces, Fragile became a bold statement of creativity. It was Bill Bruford's idea to include individual showcases—it was a bit oddball, but it captured the spirit of the time.” Each show will feature a gallery of work by esteemed artist, Roger Dean, whose paintings have graced the covers of many of YES albums over the years. ‘Fragile' was the first YES album to feature Dean`s iconic artwork. The current line-up of YES features Steve Howe, whose association with Yes began in 1970, along with Geoff Downes, a member of the 1980 ‘Drama' era line-up.  Jon Davison has been lead vocalist in Yes since 2012 while bassist, Billy Sherwood, who was hand-picked by original bassist Chris Squire, has been involved with YES since 1990`s. Jay Schellen, who worked closely with Alan White on drums, completes the line-up. Steve Howe:  “We're all looking forward to the UK dates and will be presenting an intriguing first set then all of ‘Fragile', in its entirety then a slight diversion before our usual final encore. See you all then”  The ‘Fragile' UK Tour Dates 2026 Wed 22nd April          Glasgow                    Royal Concert Hall   glasgowlife.org.uk Fri 24th April              Sheffield                    City Hall                     sheffieldcityhall.co.uk Sat 25th April             Liverpool                    Philharmonic Hall     liverpoolphil.co.uk Mon 27th April          Birmingham               Symphony Hall         bmusic.co.uk Tue 28th April            Bournemouth          Pavilion bournemouthpavillion.co.uk Thur 30th April           Bristol                        Beacon                      bristolbeacon.org Fri 1st May                 Manchester               Bridgewater Hall       bridgewater-hall.co.uk Sun 3rd May              London                      Palladium                  lwtheatres.co.uk Mon 4th May              London                      Palladium                  lwtheatres.co.uk Tickets (subject to booking fees) go on general sale on Friday 19th September at 10am from BookingsDirect.com About YES Steve Howe: guitars, backing vocals (1970 –1981, 1990–1992, 1995–present)

Interview with Nick Smart, Director & CEO of ValOre MetalsOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/the-investment-case-for-platinum-palladium-investment-in-2026-8935Recording date: 5th February 2026ValOre Metals offers investors exposure to a scarce asset class addressing structural supply deficits in the platinum group elements sector. The company's Pedra Branca project in northeastern Brazil contains 2.2 million ounces of palladium and platinum resources - one of the few development-stage PGE assets advancing outside the South Africa-Russia-Zimbabwe concentration that controls over 95% of global reserves.This jurisdictional differentiation carries strategic significance as traditional producing regions face operational challenges including aging infrastructure, increasing depths, rising costs, and geopolitical risks. South African operations contend with periodic labour disruptions whilst Russian supply faces sanctions exposure and market access constraints. Against this backdrop, Brazil's federal classification of platinum and palladium as critical minerals provides governmental support for Pedra Branca's development, whilst established infrastructure including paved highway access and proximity to deep-water port facilities at Fortaleza reduces capital requirements.CEO Nick Smart brings proven PGE development credentials from Anglo American Platinum and De Beers, having built and operated mines globally including in Brazil. Under his leadership since October 2025, ValOre has appointed institutional-grade technical partners to advance the project toward production. Lycopodium, a specialised minerals processing engineering firm, leads preliminary economic assessment work targeting year-end 2026 completion. Simultaneously, University of Cape Town's Centre for Minerals Research, recognised as the premier global centre for PGE processing expertise, conducts metallurgical test work establishing optimal processing routes for both weathered oxidised material and fresh sulphide ore.The deposit's geological structure provides inherent economic advantages. Near-surface mineralisation in the first 30 metres represents high-grade weathered material accessible through open-pit mining, enabling early cash flow generation whilst reducing capital intensity compared to underground development. Core deposits containing 1.1 million ounces provide sufficient foundation for initial operations targeting 150,000-200,000 ounces annually over a 10-15 year mine life. At current platinum prices exceeding $2,000 per ounce, the total resource represents approximately $4 billion in contained metal value.Brazil's trial mining licensing process offers a fast-track permitting pathway enabling early-stage demonstration plant production before full-scale operations. This allows ValOre to prove project viability whilst advancing comprehensive licensing applications, reducing technical risk and generating cash flow to support development costs.Market fundamentals support multi-year investment case. Smart emphasised sustained demand across automotive, industrial, and investment applications concurrent with structural supply constraints: "We see growing demand for platinum and palladium. There are some real structural constraints to bringing more supply on. So we see multi-year gap in terms of that balance between demand and supply." Contrary to earlier narratives of declining PGE relevance as electric vehicle adoption challenged autocatalyst demand, automotive transition timelines have moderated whilst platinum consumption in jewellery and investment products continues growing.Exploration upside extends beyond the current resource base. Mineralisation runs along an 80-kilometre trend within a 50,000-hectare land package, with management characterising the 2.2 million ounces as representing "a relatively small part" of the total system. ValOre has doubled the resource since 2019 acquisition through 20,000 metres of drilling, with additional programmes budgeted for 2026.The year-end 2026 preliminary economic assessment represents the primary near-term catalyst, establishing project economics and development pathway whilst positioning ValOre amongst the limited global pipeline of PGE projects advancing toward production outside geopolitically concentrated traditional sources.View ValOre Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/valore-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Enjoy this week's episode with Colombian NY House Music Legend DJ & Producer JOESKI. Change is inevitable, and nowhere is this more prevalent than in the world of dance music. Analog gives way to digital, trends come and go, yet NYC's DJ Joeski remains at the top of his game, and now, in the midst of his fourth decade as one of house music's most sought-after stars, his momentum shows no signs of slowing. Joeski's trajectory can be traced back to 1991, when he burst onto the NYC house music scene as a founding member of The Chocolate Factory DJ collective. He delighted crowds at Limelight, Tunnel, Palladium and NASA, helped turn “Save The Robots” into a NYC afterhours institution and earned his first residency at “Together” parties at the legendary Roxy, playing alongside the likes of Danny Tenaglia, Louie Vega and Roger Sanchez. Fueled by his genuine love of the music & his hard work through the years, there's no doubt that Joeski will continue to play a major role in this industry.

Gyles has been an admirer of this guest since the 1960s: it's the great actor, Sir Derek Jacobi. Ever since he was recruited into Sir Laurence Olivier's bold new National Theatre at the Old Vic, Jacobi has been at the forefront of British acting talent. Gyles has seen him on stage many times - in Olivier's famous production of Othello, in Much Ado About Nothing, in Cyrano de Bergerac. You may also know Derek from his brilliant TV work - in I, Claudius and Last Tango in Halifax... he's also the voice of In The Night Garden. In this warm and rambling conversation, Derek tells Gyles about his young life in Leytonstone in East London, where his father owned a confectioners shop. He tells him about his childhood love of dressing up and his early exposure to theatre, when he was picked to go up on stage at the Palladium. He tells Gyles about his experience of stage fright and about his happy marriage. This is a wonderful episode with a great, and charming, man. Enjoy this. Hosted on Acast.

Guess what… The Chris Moyles Show podcast is back - and somehow, it's even sillier than ever! Palladium fever is VERY much in the air, we receive a letter from THE Alison of The Beautiful South (yes, who knew she was a Chris Moyles Show listener), and the long-awaited, much-discussed, slightly over-hyped WhatsApp Jingle FINALLY makes its grand debut. Dreams really do come true!Comedy legend and friend of the show, John Bishop joins the gang to chat about his brand-new feature film Is This Thing On? , which includes celebrity royalty... Bradley Cooper's dogs! And Chris obviously brings out his un-believable John Bishop impression (but we can't say John was best pleased about that…)Andi Peters joined us to play a quick game of 'Guess Where I Am In The World', but really, it was just an excuse to show off his sunny location and make us (and the listeners) painfully jealous. At least we've got our brand new Whatsapp jingle though!Meanwhile, we can see our pals over at Capital again, which naturally results in Chris snooping around the renovations and trying to challenge them to a football match. Reverse Words makes a triumphant return, and Chris Moyles Show history is made with what might be the longest feature ever from our new Executive Producer Aaron, he came up with a kazoo based game for us to play!And obviously, that's not it… Hott Property UpdateChris and Dom's friendship with Nothing But ThievesMore Stupid Amnesty!Enjoy!The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X!Weekdays 6:30am - 10am

This episode of This Week in Futures Options (TWIFO) captures a market in transition. As we move through January 2026, the "All-In" equity trade is facing a rotation, silver is behaving like a high-octane meme stock, and even the most obscure products like Rough Rice are seeing double-digit vol spikes. Whether you are hedging a portfolio against an earnings-season sell-off or looking to harvest high premiums in the metals, this episode provides the professional analysis you need to separate the wheat from the Lean Hogs. Episode Highlights The Movers & Shakers: A Tale of Two Tapes The Jedi (Light Side) are winning this week, but the Sith (Dark Side) struck the hardest blows in percentage terms. The Dark Side: Natural Gas plummeted 23.9%, Bitcoin dropped 6.3%, and the Russell 2000 took a breather after a massive YTD run. The Light Side: Silver stole the show, rallying over 20% on the week. WTI Crude and Brent both surged ~10%, while Palladium saw a double-digit rebound. Equities: The Great Rotation of 2026 Uncle Mike Tosaw reveals a major strategic shift, moving away from Large Caps and into Mid-Caps and Small Caps. Large Cap Fatigue: The S&P 500 is up 72% over three years, while Mid-Caps are up only 33%. Is the gap finally closing? Zero-Day Obsession: Despite the 0DTE craze, the "Big Dog" trade this week was the 6,600 Puts in the E-mini S&P, expiring in 22 days—a massive hedge against upcoming tech earnings. Energy: Crude is Back on the Menu WTI Crude hit a rare 1-million contract week. The Conflict Trade: With Middle East tensions rising, traders are aggressive in the March 70 and 75 calls, betting on an $80 handle by summer. Volatility Alert: Crude vol in March is currently sitting at 56.7, up nearly 14 points on the week. Metals: Silver's "Meme Stock" Era Silver is up over 400% in three years, leading Uncle Mike to label it the new meme stock of the commodities world. Historic Volatility: Silver vol is currently at a staggering 107.2. The Upside Play: Massive flow in the March 120 calls (only 7 handles away!) as traders chase the vertical spike. The Curveball: Rough Rice? In a TWIFO first, the panel explores the esoteric world of Rough Rice options. Market Dynamics: Despite low liquidity, Rough Rice saw a 4.6% move this week with a metal-like skew where calls are catching a heavy bid.

„Wir haben eine neue Welt-Unordnung. Wir haben eine vier Brillen-Betrachtung die USA, China, Russland und die kleinste Brille ist Europa. Donald Trump macht die Welt unterwürfig und wir haben einen Kanzler ohne Kreuz. Seine Rede in Davos war ja unterirdisch. Europa ist zurzeit der große Verlierer. Wir haben enorm an Wettbewerbsfähigkeit verloren. Es gibt aktuell keine Partei, die Wirtschaft kann. Man hat ja dem Merz unterstellt, dass er Wirtschaft kann, aber ich fühle nicht. Ich würde gerne für eine Brandmauer auf der linken Seite plädieren. In Berlin sind permanent die Narren los. Da herrscht Dauerfrost”, sagt Rolf B. Pieper. Der CEO der TRI Concept AG weiter: „Das Vertrauen in die Finanzwirtschaft, in die Politik und die Währungen ist weg und die Leute gehen halt in die Edelmetalle. Wir haben eine Trump-Gold-Korrelation. Wie es aussieht werden wir wieder ein Jahr der Edelmetalle haben. Und wir brauchen auch maximale Diskretion.” Pieper empfiehlt die Triversifikation als Strategie. In den kommenden zwei Wochen ist der Finanzexperte zudem wieder auf Investoren-Reise in Thailand.

Episode 156 of the Award Travel 101 podcast opens with Cameron Laufer and Mike Zaccheo discussing a strange and unsettling incident shared in the Award Travel 101 Facebook group, where a traveler appeared to be panhandled inside DFW airport using a dubious story involving an “emergency passport.” The hosts agree the situation didn't add up and use it as a springboard to talk about staying alert in airports. They then move into news and updates, covering several current travel and credit card developments, including a new Hyatt welcome offer with five free nights, an enhanced Capital One Venture bonus, American Airlines elite status buy-up offers, Alaska Airlines' “Ski Free” promotion, and news of a proposed Sun Country–Allegiant merger. Both hosts also share recent personal card approvals, retention offers, and trip updates, highlighting how points and miles were used for travel to New York, Key West, Europe, Mexico, and Park City.The main topic of the episode is a deep dive into the controversial rollout of “Bilt 2.0,” including new card tiers (Blue, Obsidian, and Palladium), the introduction of “Bilt Cash,” and major changes to how rent and mortgage payments earn points. Mike and Cameron break down the math behind the new earning options, explaining how cardholders now need significant non-bonus spend to earn rent or mortgage points fee-free, which sparked backlash from users who felt the program's core promise had shifted. They discuss why the rollout caused a firestorm—citing complexity, perceived deception, and new earning restrictions—while also acknowledging positives like welcome bonuses, mortgage eligibility, higher potential earn rates, and strong transfer partners such as Hyatt.In closing, the hosts offer balanced perspectives on who the revamped Bilt program may or may not be for. Cameron views it as potentially attractive for non-renters seeking strong transfer partners and solid earn rates on everyday spend, while Mike urges listeners to focus on opportunity cost and not get swept up in hype without doing the math. The episode wraps with a practical “tip of the week,” advising travelers to be proactive and push for better hotel accommodations when airlines strand them overnight due to delays or missed connections.Episode Links:Hyatt 5 Night OfferCapital One Venture OfferAmerican Status Buy up OffersFly Alaska Ski FreeSun County/ Allegiant MergerBilt 2.0 DetailsWhere to Find Us The Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.

Interview with Alex Dorsch, MD & CEO of Chalice MiningRecording date: 20th January 2026Chalice Mining is developing the Western world's leading palladium-nickel-copper project at Gonneville, discovered in 2020 near Perth, Australia. The project has advanced from discovery to prefeasibility study (PFS) stage, with Final Investment Decision (FID) and construction planned for 2028-29.The project's exceptional economics stem from open-pit mining starting at surface level, delivering all-in sustaining costs of $370/oz compared to $900-1,800/oz for South African competitors operating deep underground mines. This positions Gonneville in the second quartile of the global cost curve. The PFS demonstrates a 23-year mine life with NPV8 of A$3.3 billion at current prices and 40% IRR, producing 170,000 oz/year initially and scaling to 250,000 oz/year in stage two.Palladium prices have surged 105% from $880/oz to $1,800/oz over seven months, driven by supply constraints with over 90% production concentrated in Russia and South Africa. Demand remains resilient as electric vehicle adoption progresses slower than anticipated, supporting hybrid vehicles that require palladium catalytic converters.Chalice's two-stage development strategy balances ambition with capital discipline. Stage one requires A$820 million capex, fundable through 50-70% debt financing given strong project margins and abundant critical minerals financing from sovereign wealth providers. The company has invested A$325 million in technical work, including A$15 million on metallurgical testing—significantly more than typical junior miners at this stage.A simplified flowsheet redesign produces three standard products processable by conventional smelters, eliminating downstream technology risk. The project's Perth location provides infrastructure advantages and residential workforce access, reducing capital requirements to A$200-250 million versus multi-billion dollar bills for remote projects.With regulatory approvals expected in early 2028, Chalice offers rare exposure to palladium development outside Russian and South African dominance in a structurally constrained supply market.View Chalice Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/chalice-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this episode of Wonderland on Points, we're joined by Zach Griff, points and miles expert and creator of the newsletter From the Tray Table, to talk about one of the most buzzed-about launches in travel rewards: the new Bilt 2.0 credit cards. We kick things off with a quick, relatable conversation about parenting and family travel before diving into the details of Bilt's revamped card lineup.We break down the Blue, Obsidian, and Palladium cards with Zach, focusing on what's new, what's confusing, and whether the value really stacks up against other travel rewards credit cards.

Why is a metal you've probably never heard of often worth more than pure gold? Why are thieves risking jail just to steal one specific part from a Toyota Prius? What is the "Palladium at Night" satellite doing that no government will admit to owning? How did Ford lose a billion dollars by trying to hoard this "ghost" metal? Could this strange metal be the secret to "cold fusion" and unlimited power? ... we explain like I'm five Thank you to the r/explainlikeimfive community and in particular the following users whose questions and comments formed the basis of this discussion: tmwnn, jonathanrdt, audiblenod, iwillnevergetaname, tutul_, brokeneye3, cortcortkittycat and lwbdrb0901 To the ELI5 community that has supported us so far, thanks for all your feedback and comments.

Interview withStefan Gleason, CEO of Money Metals ExchangeNick Smart, Director & CEO of ValOre MetalsRecording date: 7th January 2026Platinum group elements have emerged from years of undervaluation into what industry executives describe as a fundamental supply-demand inflection point. The second half of 2025 witnessed platinum prices nearly double, driven by structural changes across industrial, jewelry, and investment demand against severely constrained supply. For investors seeking precious metals exposure with distinct fundamentals from gold, the platinum story presents a compelling case rooted in geological scarcity, industrial necessity, and market imbalances forecast to persist through 2030.The supply challenge stems from extreme geological concentration combined with economic realities. While platinum occurs in earth's crust at similar abundance to gold—a few parts per billion—concentrated economic deposits are far scarcer. Global primary platinum production totals just 6 million ounces annually versus 120-130 million ounces for gold. More critically, 90% of platinum reserves sit within South Africa's Bushveld Complex, where aging deep-level underground mines face rising costs and operational difficulties. Outside South Africa, platinum production occurs primarily as a mining byproduct, meaning supply cannot respond to price signals. As Stefan Gleason, CEO of Money Metals Exchange notes, even prices ten times higher won't trigger meaningful supply responses given massive underinvestment and geopolitical constraints.Demand dynamics have shifted dramatically across three sectors. Industrial demand is strengthening contrary to earlier electric vehicle projections, with 75% of new US vehicles remaining internal combustion engines while hybrids—which consume more platinum and palladium than conventional engines—represent the fastest-growing automotive segment globally. Major manufacturers like Ford and Volkswagen are shifting production lines toward hybrids due to superior profit margins and customer acceptance. Nick Smart, CEO of ValOre Metals and a 21-year Anglo American veteran, emphasizes this durability stems from infrastructure limitations and automotive economics.The jewelry sector presents another growth vector as gold reaches twice platinum's price—a relationship inverted only in the past decade. Manufacturers and consumers in India and China are shifting to platinum for cost relief while maintaining luxury appeal, with platinum offering white gold substitution at less than half gold's cost. Investment demand, while currently small at roughly 1% of precious metals sales, is maturing rapidly. China has opened platinum hedging markets, creating what Gleason describes as "a three-way pull" between London shortages, US inventory builds, and new Chinese infrastructure.Physical market stress signals are acute. Above-ground inventories have fallen below six months of supply—what Gleason characterizes as "totally unsustainable." London financing shortages have driven lease rates to 12-15% annualized, creating cascading effects across refineries, users, and producers. The entire above-ground platinum supply could be absorbed with just $6 billion in capital.Looking forward, market forecasts project persistent deficits of approximately 700,000 ounces annually through 2030 against total production of 6 million ounces, even accounting for all known development projects. Ivanhoe's Platreef Mine represents the only recently commissioned PGE project, taking decades to reach its 300,000-ounce phase one capacity. Smart acknowledges the difficulty: "It's very difficult to see how that deficit gets bridged."For investors, the investment thesis centers on structural supply-demand arithmetic rather than speculative narratives. The combination of geological concentration, years of underinvestment, resilient automotive demand, jewelry substitution, and emerging investment infrastructure creates conditions for sustained revaluation. Recommended allocation strategies include 1-2% of precious metals holdings through physical platinum for long-term holding or mining equities focused on projects outside South Africa for geographical diversification.Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.comSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

The first "January Lion" of 2026 has arrived. Join Mark Longo and Carley Garner of DeCarley Trading as they kick off the new year with a high-octane look at the futures options landscape. From the aftermath of a historic 2025 to the geopolitical shocks of the first week of January, this episode breaks down why the "old rules" of the commodity markets are being rewritten. In This Episode: The 2025 Retrospective: A look back at a "once-in-50-year" event in the metals complex. Carley provides a candid "humbling" on the massive surge in gold and silver, and why 2025 was the year of the devoted trend follower. The Silver Beast: Silver dominated last year with a 140%+ gain. Carley and Mark discuss the "Reverse 2020" effect, the impact of triple-leveraged ETFs, and why trading Silver options right now requires nerves of steel and a massive margin account. Movers & Shakers: * The Light Side: A continuation of the metals rally (Silver, Platinum, Palladium) and a surprising 5% YTD surge in the Russell 2000 ($RUT). The Dark Side: Energy struggles as WTI and Brent lead the losers, while Natural Gas faces a "trap door" at the $3.60 pivot. Equity Index Analysis: Why the "Mag 7" dominance is yielding to a Small-Cap catch-up play in the Russell. Plus, a strategy for "tail-risk nibbling" using deep out-of-the-money March and June puts. Energy & Geopolitics: The team breaks down the "Maduro effect" and why Venezuela's supply won't be a quick fix for the crude markets. Carley explores the possibility of a capitulation move in oil toward the low $40s. Viewer Q&A: The blurring lines between "trading" and "betting" as CME and FanDuel move closer together. Market Volatility Snapshot (CVOL) Treasury Yield Vol: Pinning the needle at 78.9 (High for the week). Energy CVOL: Popping to 60.6 as geopolitical tensions rise. Metals CVOL: Easing slightly to 31.0 despite massive moves in the underlying.

Few producers are as intrepid as Michael Harrison – steering hits like Evita, Hello, Dolly!, Starlight Express, Gypsy, Titanique and The Bodyguard. But one centrepiece of his producing portfolio is the Palladium pantomime – the crown jewel of the London panto season and renowned for its big sets, big laughs and big innuendo count (courtesy of one Julian Clary). Alex Wood heads to MHE towers to discuss ten years of panto back at the Palladium – and why Michael considers himself the worst usher to have ever worked at Edinburgh Playhouse Hosted on Acast.
