$2,500 Gold? Rick Rule's Shocking 2025 Prediction! ~ Rule Classroom Plus
Today, Steve Barton is joined by legendary investor Rick Rule in a high-impact episode of Rule Classroom Plus to explore the explosive dynamics of the unfolding gold bull market. Rule delivers a compelling thesis: we're witnessing the early stages of a monetary and resource-based reset that mirrors the 1970s stagflation era—and the consequences for investors are massive. In a strategic breakdown of the macroeconomic landscape, Rule warns that rising long-term interest rates, a weakening U.S. dollar, and failed Fed policy are setting the stage for a seismic shift in capital flows. Physical gold, he argues, is now reasserting itself as the dominant safe-haven asset—just as high-quality senior gold equities begin their next leg up. Rule also unveils details from his 3-part Rule Bootcamp series, with Part 2 spotlighting the "best of the best" gold producers poised to thrive in this environment. Plus, he gives an exclusive preview of the 2025 Natural Resources Investment Symposium—calling it the most valuable resource conference he's ever organized. This episode is packed with hard-hitting audience Q&A, where Rick addresses opportunities in Sovereign Metals, Equinox, Silvercrest, Aris Mining, and the rising importance of rare earths. If you're navigating inflation, volatility, or looking for the next asymmetric upside, this is essential viewing. Connect with Rule Classroom Plus!

Micheal Oliver Explains Why Gold Will Soar, Stocks Will Crash!
Today, Steve Barton is joined by Michael Oliver, founder of Momentum Structural Analysis, for a high-stakes conversation on the future of global markets. Oliver delivers a sobering forecast: the stock market has officially peaked, and we may be entering one of the most severe downturns in modern history. But the surprises don't end there. In a bold deviation from historical norms, Oliver argues that U.S. Treasury bonds—traditionally seen as a safe haven during equity crashes—are failing to provide cover. Instead, he identifies gold as the only remaining asset behaving like a true monetary refuge, while silver's price action signals a potentially explosive breakout ahead. Oliver breaks down his momentum-based analysis across key sectors, revealing critical support and resistance levels for gold, silver, crude oil, and natural gas. He also dissects systemic risks in commercial real estate, the Fed's policy box, and why central banks may soon be forced into aggressive new interventions. If you're positioning for a macro reversal—or simply trying to protect your capital—this is a must-watch interview packed with actionable insight. Connect with Michael Oliver! Website: https://www.olivermsa.com/ Key Topics Discussed: ✅ Why Michael Oliver believes the stock market has already peaked ✅ The death of T-bonds as a reliable safe haven asset ✅ Gold's breakout: what the momentum signals are flashing now ✅ Silver's coiled-spring setup and potential run to $60+ ✅ Actionable support and resistance levels for major assets ✅ Crude oil's "bear trap" and the technical case for a rebound ✅ Natural gas: signs of a bottom and upside from here ✅ How momentum analysis reveals market shifts before price does ✅ The critical resistance in the S&P and what's at stake ✅ Fed policy: why rate cuts won't save the markets this time ✅ Commercial real estate: the next systemic risk nobody's pricing ✅ Momentum-based insights into platinum, palladium, and copper ✅ Why silver may outperform gold in the next leg up ✅ The real reasons central banks are watching gold—not just China ✅ What history tells us about Fed interventions and market crashes If you found value in today's breakdown, please give this video a thumbs up, share it with friends, and don't forget to subscribe for weekly market insights.

$421M Silicon Merlin Deal EXPLAINED by Orogen Royalties CEO, Paddy Nicol
Today, Steve Barton is joined by Paddy Nicol, CEO of Orogen Royalties, for a deep-dive into one of the most pivotal royalty deals in recent history. Orogen just inked a $421 million acquisition agreement with Triple Flag Precious Metals—a deal that revolves around the crown jewel of its portfolio: the Silicon Merlin gold royalty in Nevada. Paddy unpacks the thinking behind the sale, explaining why locking in value now—before Silicon Merlin's full resource potential is realized—could be a once-in-a-decade wealth event for shareholders. But this isn't an exit. It's a transformation. Shareholders will receive cash, Triple Flag shares, and a stake in a newly launched SpinCo holding Orogen's remaining 27 royalty assets, a $24 million cash treasury, and the same battle-tested management team. He also highlights which hidden royalty assets may become the next Silicon—like La Rica in Colombia, Spring Peak in Nevada, and MPD South in British Columbia. Whether you're tracking mining M&A, investing in royalty firms, or trying to understand how exploration-stage assets become billion-dollar deals—this is an unmissable conversation. Connect with Paddy Nicol! LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paddy-nicol-36292b3a/ Website: https://orogenroyalties.com Key Topics Discussed: ✅ Orogen's royalty-first business model that beats traditional miners ✅ Why organic royalty generation means lower risk and zero debt ✅ Inside the $421M Triple Flag deal: cash, shares, and SpinCo explained ✅ Silicon Merlin: The billion-dollar asset behind Orogen's valuation ✅ What shareholders REALLY get from the deal—and why it matters ✅ Ermitano royalty: A cash-flow machine with long-term upside ✅ La Rica in Colombia: A world-class copper-gold porphyry with no drill holes—yet ✅ Spring Peak, Maggie Creek, and MPD South: The next big royalty catalysts ✅ Why Paddy Nicol never sold a single share—and what that signals ✅ Tax-smart structuring for Canadian and U.S. shareholders ✅ Why SpinCo could unlock hidden value across 27 global royalties ✅ How Orogen keeps dilution low while growing high-impact assets ✅ The future of junior royalty companies—and what Orogen is betting on next If you found value in today's breakdown, please give this video a thumbs up, share it with friends, and don't forget to subscribe for weekly market insights.

John Ciampaglia on Why Uranium & Silver Are Set to Skyrocket!
Today, Steve Barton is joined by John Ciampaglia, CEO of Sprott Asset Management! In this high-impact conversation, John breaks down how global commodity markets are being reshaped by economic turmoil, geopolitical friction, and the return of investor interest in physical assets like gold, silver, uranium, and copper. Are tariffs and trade wars masking the real risks ahead? John unpacks why growing uncertainty—not just bad news—is the biggest threat to market stability right now. He dives into how Sprott's physical trusts give investors secure, tax-advantaged access to precious metals, stored outside the bullion banking system and structured to protect against systemic shocks. John also takes a hard look at the opaque uranium contracting market and why long-term supply issues could trigger massive upside. He makes bold calls on which commodities are still flying under the radar — and why silver and uranium are his top "value trades" heading into 2025. Whether you're trying to hedge against inflation, diversify with real assets, or understand what's really driving commodity prices — this interview is your blueprint. Connect with John Ciampaglia!
