Here’s what was covered in episode 321:
Macro Musings - Gerardo opens with a personal story about his mother being kidnapped by a cartel and connects it to the broader collapse of constitutional norms in the U.S.—warning that even senators are now being unlawfully detained. He says if they’ll do that to a senator on camera, imagine what’s happening to undocumented people without a platform. Nick expands on the idea of institutional decay by invoking the Fourth Turning and compares the volatility in politics to spikes in the VIX. The duo agrees: what we’re seeing isn’t just a political problem—it’s the breakdown of the rule of law in real time.
Market Takes - Commodities are surging. Gold is holding strong near $3,500. Silver finally broke $35 and is pushing toward $38. Gerardo says if it breaks $38, $42 is next—and new all-time highs aren’t far behind. Platinum is up 30% in 30 days, while copper and uranium stocks are leading the rotation back into hard assets. Oil jumped from $55 to $75 in a matter of weeks, front-running geopolitical risks with Israel and Iran. Inflation is ticking back up, and with fewer rate cuts priced in, silver may now have the edge over gold due to its industrial exposure.
Bizarro Banter - Gerardo and Nick riff on Tesla, Trump, and the theater of geopolitical headlines. From Meta’s 20-year nuclear power deal to the U.S. Air Force installing SMRs on military bases, it's clear the market is rethinking energy security via nuclear. Paul Tudor Jones gets a shoutout for recommending diversification into stocks, gold, and Bitcoin. Gerardo adds: “You don’t have to choose between Bitcoin and gold—we’re making money with both.” Reader question about Resource Stock Digest and Digest Publishing.
