Rick Rule: Why I Sold Silver, Bought Oil Stocks, and Fear a 2008 Repeat

As the Iran war roils commodity and precious metal markets, Rick Rule joins Trey Reik to challenge the popular narrative that gold is a geopolitical hedge, arguing the real driver is faith in the purchasing power of fiat currencies. Rick explains why he repositioned from physical silver into silver stocks and moved into oil and gas, where a billion-dollar-a-day sustaining capital deficit points to even higher oil prices. He issues a stark warning about junk bond ETFs and the potential for a 2008-style credit contagion. Rick also breaks down why gold's recent correction mirrors the 1970s bull market pullbacks and should be welcomed as a sale. Plus, Rick shares details on his annual investment symposium in Boca Raton, July 6 to 10.
